The Athletic FC Podcast · Ornstein transfer latest: Liverpool + Spurs make big moves · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, definitely.

I mean, it's a bit of a tug-of-war, this J emerging between Liverpool and PSG for Diamande.

You obviously have been across a lot of African football in the last few years.

Are you surprised at how much interest and excitement there is around this player?

best of luck to him and i hope ivory coast go far in this tournament so we get to see him as much as we can yeah okay i mean let's stay with you jay because it's not just liverpool making moves like we said before spurs have also been busy jan paul van hekker confirmed yesterday obviously that adds to senesi as well to sort of boost the center back options for uh for the team i mean why is it the defensive department that is a priority because the obvious thing is what's going to happen with christian romero and mickey van der veen with these two new arrivals

Okay, well, let's ask David about another one of those then.

Jay mentioned him there, Sandro Tonali.

What's going on with Spurs' pursuit of him?

There's a few captivating stories to be fair, David.

Thank you very much for joining us and getting us up to date on all of that.

Tim, I mean, you feel a bit sorry for Newcastle, don't you?

Like we were talking about before.

And George Colkin has written a column on The Athletic, which if I read the title out, gives you an impression straight away of how this is going to go.

Newcastle losing Sandro Tonale to Man City makes sense, but Tottenham, surely not.

Can you help George figure that out at all?

I mean, Newcastle didn't have a brilliant season, but they were still a little bit ahead of Spurs, weren't they?

What do you make of the wages?

Because that's the one thing that stood out to me from David's reporting there, that this is an offer that he didn't see Spurs coming up with previously.

And are these all reflective of this attitude that they believe the players should be paid more?

Yeah, that's a big jump.
