Lots of transition going on with Tottenham Hotspur right now. Moving out of White Hart Lane and into a new stadium that should begin construction this year; and be ready by 2017. The new Manager Mauricio Pochettino, may be bringing Saints Captain Adam Lallana with him. And, as Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy hopes, possibly another Southampton star, Jay Rodriguez to White Hart Lane as well.
Pochettino left Southampton in a £15million five-year deal and Spurs also want their best player in Lallana. Liverpool made a £25m bid for the England World Cup forward earlier this summer, but the Anfield club’s interest in the deal has cooled with Saints wanting around £30m. The Daily Mail has a piece reigniting the rumor, but we’ve seen talk of this in other publications too.

Whether he comes or not, we don’t know. But what is confirmed is that Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy will be spending a lot of money this summer transfer window.
