Tottenham are back in action on Saturday when they face West Ham in their first game back after the international break. Spurs saw their bright start take a blow with a defeat last time out, while the Hammers won to snap a poor start to the season that saw them lose two games and concede at will.
Thomas Frank will welcome back his men across Wednesday and Thursday, and as preparations begin for the West Ham clash, we have rounded up all the latest news surrounding the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Romano on Bissouma
Fabrizio Romano has issued an update of sorts on the future of Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma, who is expected to leave the club before the end of this month. Bissouma has attracted interest from Turkish clubs with the Turkish window still open, while he may also have options in Saudi Arabia, whose window also remains open.
Bissouma’s contract expires next summer, and with the midfielder having fallen down in the pecking order, a sale this month is likely preferred by Spurs. But Romano has told GiveMeSport: "No, at the moment it’s gone quiet."
Spence praise
Djed Spence made his England debut on Tuesday night when the Three Lions made easy work of Serbia, and he attracted praise for his efforts after the game. Rio Ferdinand said: “If you’re going to play three centre backs, I would, but if you aren’t, then I wouldn’t. I think Djed Spence is primed and ready to take over the Kyle Walker role.
“He can play right and left back, and if you play right of the three, he’s so quick he can play right of the three. He is the number one one-versus-one defender in the England squad right now – no one comes near him.” Spence has been consistent for Tottenham over the last year after a rocky start to his career in North London, and it will be interesting to see what his ceiling is as he continues to develop and gain more confidence.
Van de Ven wants trophies
Spurs defender Micky van de Ven says he is hungry to win more trophies after Tottenham ended their trophy drought with a Europa League title at the end of last season.
Van de Ven told Spurs media: “For a player, when you have the taste of winning a trophy, it feels unbelievable. You just want to do it all over again. And that’s something we want to achieve. Especially after last season, all the negative things that came into the team, it was a good thing to win something. Now everybody has a taste of it, and everybody knows how it feels. I think everybody is also now triggered to do it all over again.”
