Tottenham are now preparing to finish their Premier League season, facing Brighton this weekend in their curtain-closer. Spurs have enjoyed a celebratory week after winning the Europa League on Wednesday night, defeating Manchester United in Bilbao thanks to Brennan Johnson’s first-half winner.
Ange Postecoglou has delivered silverware and Champions League qualification, and that will give Daniel Levy and others a big decision to make this summer. As Spurs plot what they believe is the best path forward, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham ready to launch fresh offensive
Tottenham are said to be ready to push again to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi this summer after securing Champions League qualification. According to GiveMeSport, Spurs are preparing a new bid for the centre-back after previously falling short with a £70million swing.
Guehi may end up going for a little less than that after being allowed to enter the final year of his contract with palace, which will be on June 30. Palace know that if they cannot agree a new deal, they may be best served selling Guehi to maximise their profits this summer, though it remains to be seen whether the England international can be convinced to stay after winning the FA Cup and securing Europa League qualification with the Eagles.
Postecoglou future claim
Ange Postecoglou’s chances of keeping his job have been rated at 50/50 by journalist Pete O’Rourke “It’s papering over the cracks,” he told Football Insider. “That Europa League success is a brilliant moment for Tottenham. Champions League football will boost the finances of the club and everything else, and that’s a big thing for Tottenham going forward. Their league form has not been good enough, there’s no getting away from that.
“It’s probably about 50/50 right now, it’s given the Spurs hierarchy food for thought and obviously the fans are very happy right now. I don’t think winning the Europa League will ensure Postecoglou keeps his job. To be fair to Postecoglou, he’s been open after the match what whatever happens will happen. It’s obviously given Spurs a bit more to think about, having ended that trophy drought. But the club’s hierarchy might be thinking they might have to make a change.”
UEFA apologise
UEFA have apologised to Tottenham after the Europa League final celebrations that saw some players go without medals. It was something some eagle-eyed fans noticed during the coverage of the trophy ceremony, but UEFA say they have righted their wrongs.
A statement read: “To our great displeasure, we did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy ceremony presentation due to an unexpected discrepancy in the player count, as more team members – including injured players – participated in the ceremony than initially anticipated. The missing medals were promptly delivered to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for the oversight.”
