Tottenham Hotspur Are Still Hoping To Land This Argentine Starlet: One For The Future?
Paz's Decent Run Of Form In Serie A
The 20-year-old enjoyed a good run of form at the Italian club last season when he managed to produce a series of impressive displays for them in Serie A. Paz scored six goals and picked up nine assists in 35 appearances for Como in the previous campaign across various competitions.
The gifted prospect was a decent contributor in the final third as he averaged 3.65 shots per 90 minutes in Serie A. He kept 33.9% of his shots on target. Paz was careful when distributing possession, based on his pass completion rate of 80.6% in the Italian first division (stats via fbref.com).
His current deal at Como will run out in the summer of 2028, so Tottenham have got no choice but to meet the Italian club's demands if they want to land the Argentine youngster in this transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur Are Still Hoping To Land Paz: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Paz is a good dribbler with the ball and can make some dangerous runs with it in and around the opponent's penalty area. He has got the eye to set up a few inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and can strike the ball with venom from long range.
The Argentine whizkid is primarily an attacking midfielder, but can also perform as a box-to-box midfielder or as a striker up top if asked to do so by his manager.
Paz is already good enough to challenge for a regular starting place at Tottenham this season. He will also help the North London club challenge across all fronts over the next few years.
At 20, Paz is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future. Thus, it makes sense for Spurs to try everything they can to lure him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the end of this transfer window. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League.

Zazzaroni: ‘Gasperini Would Let Roma Sell Manu Kone If They Can Complete The Squad'
Gian Piero Gasperini would allow Roma to sell Inter Milan target Manu Kone if it allows them to complete their squad. This according to Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni, via FCInterNews. Last week, news emerged that Inter Milan are interested in Roma midfielder Manu Kone. The Frenchman has come into the Nerazzurri's sights as a reinforcement in holding midfield. Reports indicate that Inter put a bid of around €45 million on the table. However, subsequent reports indicated that the Giallorossi have decided not to accept Inter's offer. That despite the fact that the capital club are facing a somewhat difficult financial situation. Therefore, there is no hiding the fact that a sale of a player like Kone for a substantial fee could certainly be a big help for Roma financially. Zazzaroni: 'Gasperini Would Allow Roma To Sell Kone To Complete The Squad' EMPOLI, ITALY – MARCH 9: Manu Kone' of AS Roma in action during the Serie A match between Empoli and AS Roma at Stadio Carlo Castellani on March 9, 2025 in Empoli, Italy.

He admitted that Roma are within Financial Fair Play constraints, and that a sale of the Frenchman could be helpful. Zazzaroni comments that 'Kone isn't unsellable.' 'He would accept a sacrifice. But only if it allows them to complete the squad.' Meanwhile, Zazzaroni reports that 'Friedkin has never vetoed the idea of a sale.'

Man City, Tottenham Hit With Positive Update Regarding PSG Target Interest
Maghnes Akliouche has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in this summer's transfer window, attracting interest from PSG and Manchester City following a standout season with AS Monaco. At 23, he has cemented himself as one of Ligue 1's top talents, and a move abroad appears increasingly possible. According to a previous report from L'Équipe, Manchester United have now joined the race, raising the prospect of a bidding war with their Premier League rivals. Monaco are reportedly asking between €70 million and €80 million for the midfielder, a high price that hasn't deterred any of the clubs tracking him, making a summer transfer seem more likely. The Mirror recently noted that Tottenham have scouted Akliouche, though it remains unclear whether they plan to act immediately or wait before making a move. Bayer Leverkusen's chance to sign PSG target dwindleOn Saturday, Sky Sport Germany's Florian Plettenberg reported that Bayer 04 Leverkusen now view their chances of signing Akliouche as slim. While he remains a dream target, the price and competition have made a deal unlikely. Manchester City have now entered the race for the 23-year-old and Plettenberg adds that Akliouche is undoubtedly one to watch as Deadline Day approaches. In May, 90min France reported that Manchester City and PSG have recently stepped up their interest, making a summer departure more likely. Monaco are now believed to be asking for around €70 million. Pep Guardiola is reportedly a fan of Akliouche's left-footed playmaking and ability to fill multiple roles, qualities that could make him a natural fit to succeed Bernardo Silva.
