Postecoglu will make a late call on bringing Yves Bissouma back in for this weekend's clash with Everton as Wolves star Joao Gomes comes back on the agenda as per the Daily Mirror .

Spurs are long-term admirers of the Brazilian international, following his Premier League arrival in 2023, but they will need to launch a major effort to bring him to North London.

Wolves are expected to demand in the region of £35m ($45m) for a player who produced a brilliant first full EPL season in 2023/24.

As Gary O'Neil secured a mid-table finish for Wolves, Gomes finished second in the tackles made and tackles won list in the Premier League, behind former Fulham star Joao Palhinha.

That tackle ratio and tenacity would some vital grit to Spurs' midfield with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg moving on this summer.
