Tottenham Hotspur have now set their sights on signing a Premier League rival to replace one of their main stars, leaving Sunderland fearing the worst.
Tudor reiterates: "I'm here to resolve the problems"
There was a brief moment when Tottenham fans believed they could deal their arch rivals another major title blow. Declan Rice's huddle was in danger of going viral for all the wrong reasons when Randal Kolo Muani equalised moments later, but Arsenal soon spared his blushes by thrashing the Lilywhites.
Igor Tudor's side now sit just four points above the dropzone and whilst the interim boss has plenty of work to do, he reminded reporters that he's here to solve Spurs' problems.
The Croatian told reporters: "They wanted to do all what we prepared so I said ‘that is good’ but we need to understand which moment we are in now because we are not able to do it.
"Why we are not able to do is the question we resolve and I speak from day one at the club, I come here to resolve the problems.
"You believe that in three or four trainings you will do your best but when the game starts you don’t know what will happen because it is like this – but as I said before, Tuesday, I come in, everyone there and stay humble. That is the key.
"Stay humble, that is the key for each of us and try to become what I said before – a team, a squad, a hard-working team. That is the only goal we have now in this moment."
Tottenham are now arguably at a point where survival wouldn't be enough to keep hold of some of their starting stars, and that could start with the exit of Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham plotting move to sign £50m Vicario replacement
As reported by TeamTalk, Tottenham are now plotting a move to sign Robin Roefs to replace Vicario this summer. The Italian is reportedly attracting interest from back in his home country, with Juventus and Inter Milan battling to secure his signature in the coming months.
That would leave those in North London scrambling for a new No.1, and that's where Roefs could become important. The Sunderland shot-stopper has enjoyed a near-perfect debut season and is now reportedly worth as much as £50m as a result.
Money wouldn't be the greatest obstacle here, however. The biggest task for Tottenham will be convincing Roefs to join after they've endured a season down at the bottom. After an excellent season, those in Wearside may be in the driving seat.
Some at Sunderland may still be fearing the worst amid Tottenham's interest, but Regis Le Bris is unlikely to swing the door open after saying: "For us, shotstopping was important. For a keeper, that is non-negotiable.
"He is quick, very mobile when he manages crosses and he is really well connected with his backline so when there are balls in behind, he is always well aware and mobile in these situations and he is good with his feet."
