Mason Greenwood's incredible comeback at Marseille has sparked a transfer scramble, with Tottenham among many elite European teams vying for the 24-year-old attacker.

After a year on loan with Getafe, he moved to Marseille from Manchester United for about £26.5 million. Despite being regarded as one of the most talented players to have emerged at Old Trafford in recent years, the club felt it would be best to let him go when the Crown Prosecution Service dropped serious criminal charges against him.

Greenwood, who scored 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season and has already scored eight goals this season across all competitions, including an incredible four-goal haul against Le Havre in October, has found his scoring touch again.

Manchester United will benefit from a 50% sell-on clause in any future contract because of his speed, adaptability, and clinical finishing, which have made him one of Europe's most sought-after players.

Barcelona is reportedly the front-runner for Greenwood, according to sources, since scouts attended his most recent masterclass against Le Havre.

Greenwood is a dynamic addition to Hansi Flick's assault, and the Catalan powerhouses may bring him back together with Marcus Rashford, who is now on loan from United.

But shockingly, sources have disclosed that West Ham and Tottenham are also vying for the former England international's return to the Premier League.

West Ham and Tottenham are contemplating a surprise Greenwood swoop.


While West Ham views Greenwood as a player who can improve their season and form, Spurs are looking for another dynamic player who can drive and add legs to the team.

However, if he wants to play in the best leagues, West Ham would have a hard time persuading him to return to England due to the optics.

Although this is a big obstacle for the London teams, there is still interest in the former Manchester United player.

Greenwood's performance in France has impressed Inter Milan, who are keeping an eye on him as a possible replacement and alternative to Lautaro Martinez in Italy.

After a successful 2023–24 loan at Getafe (10 goals), Atletico Madrid is eager to bring him back to La Liga because they know how good he is.

Greenwood would rather remain in Europe and compete in the Champions League, but Saudi Pro League powerhouses Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are preparing attractive offers.

Although owner Frank McCourt is adamant about keeping Greenwood to compete against Paris Saint-Germain, manager Roberto De Zerbi of Marseille has cautioned him that abandoning the team's ambitious project for a larger stage may not ensure happiness.

Greenwood's stock is skyrocketing with 30 goals in 48 games for Marseille, and a move in 2026 appears certain. Barcelona currently hold pole position, but the fight for his signature is wide open. 

CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF

Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.

Conor Gallagher secured first Spurs assist as Tottenham snatched a point at City

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.

Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.

His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.

Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.

Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.

Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.

AC MILAN MEDICAL FAILURE: THE HIDDEN KNEE INJURY THAT CRUSHED MATETA’S £30M MOVE

Jean-Philippe Mateta's £30m move to AC Milan is OFF. Discover why a failed medical has put his France World Cup dreams in jeopardy.

Mateta’s "dream move" suddenly turned toxic.

Jean Philippe-Mateta’s got a real headache right now. The Crystal Palace striker just watched his £30 million dream move to AC Milan blow up at the last minute, all because a knee problem showed up during his medical.

The thing is, Mateta’s been carrying this injury for a while. Now he’s stuck: should he go under the knife and try to recover in time for the World Cup? He wants to make the France squad this summer, but nothing’s guaranteed. Even if he has surgery, there’s no telling if he’ll be fit enough—or have enough time on the pitch—to convince Didier Deschamps he deserves a spot.

The injury’s been dragging him down anyway. It’s messing with his form and his game time, and he’s worried he won’t get a real shot at proving himself for France if he isn’t at his best.

It’s tough because he’s coming off a fantastic year at Palace. FA Cup winner, big goals, helped the club reach Europe—it’s been a dream run. But now he might have to go back to Selhurst Park, even though he’s made it clear he’s had enough and wants out.

Honestly, it feels like only a matter of time before he leaves. His contract runs out next summer, and Palace can’t risk losing him for nothing. They’ve already watched Marc Guehi go to Man City for a bargain, just because his deal was running down.

Now Mateta has to sit down with Palace and the doctors to figure out what to do about his knee. Surgery would sideline him for months, probably killing his World Cup chances.

He’s gutted about Milan falling through, especially after Juventus cooled their interest and Nottingham Forest had an offer turned down. Over the weekend, he even unfollowed Palace on Instagram and posted a fed-up emoji. No one really knows if he’ll even make the squad for the Brighton game.
