Right let's get into the Tottenham News Shorts - Issue 49  concerns recent news about Yevhen Konoplyanka, Memphis Depay, Nacer Chadli, Mateo Musacchio, Morgan Schneiderlin and Ted Lasso returns.

Tottenham have no interest in Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk winger Yevhen Konoplyanka. They have looked at a potential deal, as have many clubs and looked into the player both on and off the field. That is standard practice with every potential signing for every club.

It is important to only buy players who have the right mindset and who will fit into your squad, a disruptive influence is not healthy. He may be a talented footballer but it is no coincidence that with only a £12 million buyout clause nobody has bought him. He won't be coming to White Hart Lane.

Memphis Depay is highly unlikely to be in a Tottenham shirt nexr season given his price is too expensive. He wants to leave PSV Eindhoven but nobody is interested in paying what is an inflated transfer fee for simply promise.

Reports of Nacer Chadli being offered and his refusal to go seem to be agents putting stories in the press to try and create interest in Memphis Depay, where little actually exists.

Mateo Musacchio did not travelled with the Villerreal squad for the friendly against Swansea, staying in Spain for sporting reasons. He isn't injured, he's being transferred and nobody wants him getting injured. The £50 million is press nonsense, a buyout clause that has no bearing on this deal.

All parties want a deal, Villarreal, Tottenham, River Plate, his agent and the player so a deal will be done and done soon. Marcelino, Villarreal's manager told the press:

"The negotiations for Musacchio have stalled.  Next week there will be a solution to this, one way or another. Mateo Mussachio is right now closer to staying at Villarreal than leaving."

However he is just the manager and has no hand in the negotiations at all. He has to placate the Villarreal fans with soundbites and keep the press talking about a story to keep his team in the news, the same as any manager has to do.

Radio Cadena SER Castellón told listeners that Musacchio didn't travel as a precaution as negotiations are on-going with Tottenham over his transfer.

The fact that they have already signed his replacement, that he isn't playing pre-season tells you with negotiations continuing all parties want a fee agreed.

Morgan Schneiderlin has no desire to stay at Southampton at all and has favorited a tweet linking him with a move to Spurs.

A Southampton fan tweeted: Chiriches looks promising to me, would really like to sign him. Maybe a bit of money as well as the players.

Schneiderlin gave that a favourite. We'd be delighted if you took Chiriches off our hands for him. By players plural he may mean Chadli but indications are at this stage that he'll be staying.
