Tottenham will face Bodo Glimt at home in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals on Thursday night, knowing that winning the entire competition would put them in next season's Champions League.

Here are the three biggest keys to victory for Tottenham this week.

Mathys Tel needs to shine

It doesn't look like Son Heung-min will be available against Bodo Glimt with a nagging foot injury, so the starting left wing job is entirely Mathys Tel's. The right side of the Bodo Glimt back four is a little more vulnerable than the left, which means Tel will have the best matchup for Spurs and the most shooting opportunities.

Tel has a prodigious amount of talent, and Tottenham are seriously contemplating keeping him permanently. The Bayern Munich loanee can make their decision easier and even increase his transfer value by performing at a high level in this game.

While Tel has flashed the ability to create chances for himself and others, the overall end product still hasn't been evident for Tottenham. He is young, but at a 50 million euro price point, Spurs will want to see him force the issue in this one.

Don't let Jens-Petter Hague take over

Bodo Glimt have one internationally known player in young forward Jens-Petter Hauge, who once played for AC Milan and Eintracht Frankfurt. Although you could see glimpses of his potential in the Bundesliga, Hauge's career never took off, and he even struggled to make an impression or get into the starting lineup at Gent in Belgium.

Now with Bodo Glimt, Hauge has been the main attacking force behind the underdog story and their Europa League semifinal appearance. The versatile 25-year-old forward is the one player on Bodo Glimt who can seriously hurt Tottenham, and after Spurs surrendered five to Liverpool at the weekend, they have to be on high alert against a talented forward with 5 goal contributions, 2.4 dribbles per game, and 1.8 key passes per match in the current Europa League campaign.

Tottenham can't make any defensive errors

The big story in Spurs recent Premier League losses has been defensive errors. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made two back-breaking ones early in a 4-2 loss to Wolves, and he and Cristian Romero were both highly culpable in a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. And then let's not even get started with the overall tactical and off-ball disasterclass of a debacle this past weekend at Anfield.

Romero has one foot out the door, but you had better believe Diego Simeone will be watching and unafraid to pull his interest in the Argentinian center back if he stinks it up in a must-win semifinal. Simeone doesn't want characters like that in his dressing room, and Romero, like he did in the second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt, has to step up to the plate on Thursday night.

It needs to be a team effort. Nobody can slip up and make unforced errors, because that is exactly how Bodo Glimt will beat them. Tottenham must be disciplined - even under an undisciplined coach - and avoid any rash challenges, sloppy backpasses, mental lapses, or flailing goalkeeping to avoid an easy upset to Bodo Glimt.

With the season almost at an end and Tottenham Hotspur only competing for a trophy in the Europa League, it presents the perfect opportunity to test and rotate some players in the Premier League. With a dead campaign in the league, where Spurs stand in 16th place, the manager has nothing to lose, except his job (but it seems he has already lost that).

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has been rotating some pieces here and there, but not to the point of exploring a few options that could contribute and develop on the pitch. Most of the rotations this season, in fact, have occurred due to the injury crisis that plagued the club during this football year. There were also some alternative line-ups in the cups, but not as much as you would wish, mainly because Spurs played a lot of tough opponents in all competitions (lucky Spurs as usual, right?).

In light of Ange's likely departure, an overhaul or a change in approach may take place in the scouting department. For that to occur, it is relevant to consider who a probable new manager could count on and who could benefit the club with a loan, or even a sale, in the long run. Here are three players Tottenham must play more at the end of the season:

Archie Gray

Archie Gray has had an all-over-the-place debut season at Spurs. After being signed from Leeds United for 40 million pounds, the Swiss-Army-Knife midfielder played in every single position you can name besides his own. Even though the youngster had a quality season at Leeds as a right-back, his preferred role has always been as a number 6 pivot.

However, due to Spurs' disappointing season and a pile of injuries, Archie played as a center-back for most of his minutes in Lilywhite and even as an inverted left-back at times. In fact, Gray only had a few starts in the midfield, including last weekend's 5-1 defeat to Liverpool. However, despite his initial struggles at Anfield, I would give him some more opportunities to start in midfield to develop and see what Spurs have in him as a midfielder, as Lucas Bergvall also had his fair share of minutes before flourishing in recent weeks.

Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert has been having a tough season so far. After arriving at the club later in the summer window, the young Frenchman was expected to be the Spurs' prototypical 1v1 type of winger, a profile the team has missed (and still misses) since the last campaign. However, he suffered a hamstring injury that took him off the pitch until February, which did not give him much time to shine.

Since his return, Odobert has been helpful to Ange Postecoglou, as it is fair to claim that the Spurs wouldn't be in the Europa League semifinals if it weren't for his two goals against AZ Alkmaar. The prodigy also delivered a promising performance against Nottingham Forest, showcasing his dribbling ability and speed. He is indeed a little raw in terms of decision-making and finishing, but there is only one way to see him improve those: to let him play!

Mikey Moore

Mikey Moore has been one of the main stars of Spurs' young ranks for a while now, and we finally had the chance to see him in action for the first team. However, even after some spicy cameos here and there and his first goal for the club, Moore has been underutilized up to recently, being sidelined by names like Timo Werner and Mathys Tel, who may not necessarily stick around for the long term.

Hence, I believe Mikey Moore should be having more reps on the left wing for the kid to acquire more experience and confidence. With Son's physical decline and Tel's future still a mystery, it would be a good plan to allow one of the best academy prospects in years to establish himself at White Hart Lane. Mikey, indeed, is not yet ready to be the face of this club, as some might expect, but the potential is clearly there, and it needs to be explored urgently.

It's been a horrible season for Tottenham, and manager Ange Postecoglou won't be the only big name looking for a new job by the end of it. Spurs are buried in the bottom five of the Premier League table because of a combination of horrible coaching and unbridled incompetence on the pitch, including from some notable players who will need to be replaced this summer.

But those hoping for a big transfer window from Tottenham may be disappointed, because the recent investments that haven't paid off have reportedly left Spurs, per the Telegraph's Matt Law, in a 279 million pound hole of debt that will likely need to be filled before the club can make substantial signings.

Tottenham will have to fill that hole with sales, and Law says more players could end up being on the chopping block because of this reality. He specifically names striker Richarlison, center back Cristian Romero, and center midfielder Yves Bissouma as three high-profile players who could be sacrificed on the transfer market this summer.

Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero are as good as gone

Of the three, Bissouma is the most obvious choice to let go from a pure footballing standpoint. He offers no creativity and hasn't taken off since joining Tottenham. His minutes have already been phased to a rotational role in the 2024/25 campaign.

Cristian Romero is one of the best players on the team, but he is openly not interested in staying at the club and has significant interest from Atletico Madrid in his dream league of LaLiga. He's even reportedly agreed to join Atleti already, so Romero could be the most substantiative sale for Spurs this summer.

Richarlison is where it gets tricky. The Brazilian international, on the one hand, is an injury-prone 27-year-old who has only started three games in the Premier League season with four goals to his name. But on the other hand, those four goals are all within his last few appearances and he is very much Spurs most talented striker. You can argue that he's the only true talent that Spurs have at the position, given Dominic Solanke is more of an all-around type and not a prime scoring threat.

Tottenham center back Cristian Romero may be a vice captain at the club and one of the team's most touted players, but he's also made it clear to the fans than when his team needs him most, his mind is currently occupied elsewhere with his own future.

After stating that he dreams of a move to LaLiga in an interview, third-place Spanish side and regular Champions League knockout club Atletico Madrid, and, now, to make matters worse for Tottenham, there are already rumors that he has given his green light to Atleti for a summer transfer.

In a recent report, GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs confirms that Romero is "keen" on joining Diego Simeone's side and that the Argentinian manager himself is the driving force behind this transfer pursuit. Romero has reportedly been one of Atleti's top transfer targets for the upcoming summer since March, so Romero's public interview of joining Atletico was likely a big wink to the Rojiblancos to start ramping up the pursuit - and that makes Romero look even worse here.

Atletico Madrid only want to pay 40 million euros for Cristian Romero

While it would seem to be a good thing that Atleti are so interested in signing Romero, Tottenham's goal transfer fee of 60 million euros may not come to fruition. Now that's no surprise since Romero isn't really worth that kind of money due to his inconsistent and aggressive playing style, but, per Jacobs, Atleti are far off from Spurs with a valuation of 40 million euros that they don't want to go past.

There's always room for negotiation, but a gulf of 20 million euros in value is substantial. Tottenham would probably settle for 50 million euros, but they'd like to see other clubs get involved to put pressure on Atletico to raise their bid. Right now, Romero hasn't done Spurs any favors either by publicly saying he dreams of LaLiga and winking so much at Atleti through rumors, and that can only frustrate Tottenham fans even more.

It has been a nightmare of a 2024/25 season for Tottenham, who came into the campaign with high hopes after a fifth-placed rebound 2023/24 campaign under first-year Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou, who left the club with significantly more positives than negatives.

Now, though, it has all soured for Postecoglou, and even if Tottenham salvage something out of the season by winning the Europa League, the former Celtic coach is expected to see himself out the door of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season.

Postecoglou isn't the only one to blame, nor will he be the only one to suffer the consequence with a Spurs exit. There are a number of players on thin ice as Spurs sit 16th in the Premier League table with a mere handful of matches left in the campaign, and the most prominent of those names is center back Cristian Romero after he pretty much said he's out in an interview on the club's grounds.

Cristian Romero has told Atletico Madrid he wants to join

To make matters worse, it looks like Romero is accelerating his own departure from Tottenham for his dream move to LaLiga and specifically to Atletico Madrid, coached by compatriot Diego Simeone. Relevo's Matteo Moretto reports that Cristian Romero has given his "yes" to Atletico Madrid for a summer 2025 transfer to the Spanish capital.

It remains to be seen if a transfer will actually come to fruition, but, as they say, where there is smoke, there is fire. And there is a whole lot of smoke coming out of Atleti in the transfer rumor mill right now, and it is coming quite quickly.

At 26 years old, Romero is entering his prime and has a good track record of success in both Serie A and the Premier League. Atletico Madrid, moreso than Tottenham and other clubs, can afford the negatives with how aggressively Romero plays, and Simeone actually values that traits a lot, looking at the center backs he has recruited to the club over the years like Diego Godin and Stefan Savic.

Tottenham took an early lead but Liverpool came back strongly to win the Premier League in style. There was not much fight from Tottenham in response, as Spurs fell 5-1 at Anfield. Here are the player ratings:

GK Guglielmo Vicario

Struggled with corners and with distribution, which has been a feature this season. Lack of movement in front of him did not help with distribution but several times this put us in trouble. Difficult to single Vicario out for the goals but did not look in command of his area at all. Certainly he will finish the season as number 1, but questions do need to be asked for next season following recent form. Rating: 4

RB Djed Spence

Unusually static game for Djed Spence. He got caught out early on with a few diagonal balls and that set the tone. Stood still for the 5th goal, although there were several others doing exactly the same. Summed up a performance lacking energy with a tame effort which seemed to take an age to roll wide at 5-1 down. Rating: 3

LB Destiny Udogie

Like Spence, he got caught early on with a few diagonal balls. Looked positive going forward at times, but struggled defensively. Too easily beaten by Salah cutting inside for the 4th goal, and misplaced a pass for the 5th goal. Passing out from the back was inaccurate throughout. Rating: 4

CB Kevin Danso

Defenders are not helped by our tactics at all. Kevin Danso was not particularly poor today but looked nowhere near the quality needed to repel Liverpool's attack. Has been promising for Spurs this season at times, so difficult to say whether it was the quality of the opposition, the Europa game ahead, or just a poor game. Rating: 4

CB Ben Davies

Ben Davies was lucky to get away with some poor clearances even before we started shipping goals. Similar to Danso, offered only passive resistance to Liverpool attacks. Rating: 4

CM: James Maddison

Did seem industrious and busy. Put in two great deliveries for Solanke, one of which resulted in a goal and the other a save. From then on, he was largely ineffective. Maddison has great ability and does always look to create. Today though, he was part of a midfield that was simply overwhelmed. Rating: 5

CM: Lucas Bergvall

Not his best game and completely overrun by the opposition. At least, still showed his usual composure on the ball and the ability to glide away from opponents at times. Very weak header from a corner to give away a goal though. Bergvall was under a bit of pressure but seemed to turn away from the ball, and could barely have headed it into a worse area. Rating: 5

CM: Archie Gray

Has been asked to do a lot this season. Looked assured in the midfield early on but faded very quickly after Liverpool took control. Off the ball, he struggled. Caught out with the through ball for Liverpool’s first goal, and weak with the challenge for the second goal, albeit after a terrible pass from Tel. Rating: 4

RW: Brennan Johnson

Has struggled for form for a while. Took a long time to get into the game. Far too often when he does have the ball on the wing, Johnson just rolls it into the box regardless of the situation. Just before half time, he spun away from Robertson and put in a good cross which nearly resulted in a goal for Tel or Solanke. With 10 mins to go, he did the same despite no one being in a position to receive it. Much more situational awareness is needed. Rating: 4

CF: Dominic Solanke

Perfect header for the goal. We don’t score many from corners. Was under pressure but showed strength to score against his former club. Had another chance from the Johnson cross that took an unlucky deflection away from him. Aside from that, lots of the usual effort but not much threat. Rating: 6

LW: Mathys Tel

Tel was bright early on, showing some of that quickness of thought. Drove at defenders when he had the ball. Didn’t produce but, like Maddison, still at least gives the feeling he is capable of something. However, Tel played a terrible pass for Liverpool's second goal. It was very high-risk and a ball inside in that situation was always likely to get punished. That type of pass is a feature of our style under Ange and it has cost us all season. It did again here. It will be one reason Tottenham are likely to look elsewhere for a manager next season. Rating: 5

Substitutions: Richarlison, Oddobert, Kulusevski, Sarr.

The summer 2025 transfer window promises to be another busy one for Tottenham, and while it is difficult to say exactly who will stay and who will go before the future of manager Ange Postecoglou is sorted out, it isn't entirely impossible to start speculating on which key players could be out the door.

Even though Tottenham could still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League title this season, the 2024/25 campaign has to be seen as an outright disaster by a Spurs team sitting in the bottom five and only safe from relegation due to the sheer futility of the three recently promoted sides (whose fates have already been sealed).

Even though he is one of the best players in the current squad, vice captain Cristian Romero could be headed for the exit door after giving an interview on the Spurs grounds in which he admitted that he is eyeing a dream move to LaLiga. Normally, this wouldn't cause a meltdown, but fans are rightfully upset that a leader made those comments on team facilities at a time when the club is in crisis and still has a lot to play for.

Atletico Madrid want Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero

The Romero transfer rumors have now begun in full swing, and Tom Allnutt of The Times is the latest journalist to report of interest abroad. Per Allnutt, LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid are indeed interested in signing Romero this summer. Not only that, but he reports that Diego Simeone's side is also interested in center midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.

Although Bentancur isn't as touted as Romero, he is more consistent and has been a more steady part of the squad in recent weeks, as Romero had costly defensive lapses in losses to Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

Both players are seen as starters, and while Romero is more touted than Bentancur, the latter seems to be in better graces with Tottenham fans. He would have a role as a future rotational piece, even if he's not quite at the caliber of a weekly starter for a club that wants to make the Champions League in England, as fans have not soured on him the way they have with Romero in light of those comments and blown defensive errors in the Premier League.

Bentancur and Romero are both solid players who are important to Spurs, but neither can be considered world-class or untouchable. Romero may not want to even be here, while Bentancur is part of a midfield that needs an upgrade and is already revved up for a future change after the injections of prospects Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray this past summer.

Tottenham have a strong group of four center backs right now with starters Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, as well as winter 2024 signing Radu Dragusin and highly promising winter 2025 addition Kevin Danso.

However, Dragusin's future seems to be outside of North London while Romero has made it clear that despite being vice captain of Tottenham at a true crisis point for the club, his mind is elsewhere. Besides Van de Ven and Danso, the others are not safe, and Spurs could be looking for a more stable center back who makes fewer mistakes than Romero if they decide to grant the Argentinian international's dream and sell him.

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has been one of the most coveted names in the Premier League over the past few windows, though the Eagles have been able to rebuff all interest in the accomplished England international to this point.

Tottenham are 'keen' on Marc Guehi

Guehi's name has been floated around before as a possible Tottenham transfer target, and now Fabrizio Romano is also stating that Spurs are still "keen" on signing the talented 24-year-old, as are fellow Premier League clubs Chelsea and Newcastle.

Fab states that if Crystal Palace can't agree on a transfer fee this summer window, Guehi could leave the club for free in 2026. He would be eligible to sign in the winter on a pre-contract deal if he does not sign an extension with Palace or otherwise agree to a transfer prior to the January window.

Tottenham should be all over this. They could either get Guehi, who is rated as a 45 million euro player by Transfermarkt, at a cut price, or they could outright get him for free if Crystal Palace try to play hardball. Chelsea have been trying to sign Guehi back for years and Newcastle were close to getting him last summer, so Tottenham will have to be in a bidding war.

Spurs can't miss out on another ideal signing

But after losing out on a sure thing last summer in current PSG star Desire Doue, Tottenham fans will be gunning for Spurs to go after Guehi if there is any chance of nabbing him. Guehi is a proven commodity against the best Premier League strikers and is having another above-average season for Crystal Palace.

The dream would obviously be to sign Guehi for free, and there's no doubt that this avenue would be Daniel Levy's preference. But if it's the difference between Guehi and no Guehi, then Tottenham should sign the best possible Romero upgrade this summer at that, likely, discounted rate.

Tottenham are approaching a crossroads, as they currently sit 16th in the Premier League and are staring down a sea of necessary changes in the summer. From manager Ange Postecoglou to some of the club's biggest names, nobody at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can be considered truly safe after such a disastrous Premier League campaign.

But there are some notable names who are less safe than others. As the weeks tick down on the 2024/25 season, here are three Tottenham players for whom the ice is especially thin, already forming precariously thin cracks in the surface.

LW Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min is one of the Premier League icons of the 2010s and the main reason for Spurs reaching the 2018/19 Champions League Final against Liverpool. A consistent goal-scorer and creator out wide, Son was even a successful striker in the 2023/24 season under Ange Postecoglou in the first campaign without Harry Kane.

He actually started the 2024/25 season pretty well, but his play fell off a cliff some time around January 2025. Son has scored just two goals in the calendar year of 2025 thus far, and his latest injury absence is highlighting a sad reality that Tottenham may be better off without him.

There are clubs in Saudi Arabia willing to spend 50 million euros on Son, and with the forward set to turn 33 years old this summer, that may be too good of a deal for Spurs to pass up on. And for just around that same fee - and potentially even less - Tottenham could secure the signing of a younger, more promising, and arguably already more effective left winger in Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel.

CM Yves Bissouma

The future looks bleak for Yves BIssouma at Tottenham, as the center midfielder has already been phased out of a regular starting role in the 2024/25 season. Bissouma has started 15 games with 9 appearances off the bench, becoming a rotational player - and not a very effective one, at that.

Purely a minute-eater in midfield who fits a mid-table Premier League club better than one with ambitions of the top four (though, sadly, Spurs aren't even mid-table at this point), Bissouma hasn't even registered a single assist this season.

He doesn't do anything particularly well other than make some tackles and dribble the ball here and there. His effectiveness as a progressor is merely average, his defending his more serviceable than great, and he offers no real creative solutions to the Tottenham midfield. If Spurs can find a willing transfer partner, they are better off moving on and using the money on a real midfield controller.

CB Cristian Romero

Although Cristian Romero is one of Tottenham's best players, he is already antagonizing himself to Spurs fans. Everything is on the line at this point for Spurs, and the club need to find out who really wants to be here to build something. It doesn't seem like Romero is, because the vice captain said in an interview on the Tottenham grounds that he is thinking of a dream move to LaLiga.

Well, it's hard to see Real Madrid or Barcelona wanting a player who makes costly errors on a regular basis, undermining the clear talent he has. Romero recently delivered disasterclass performances in Spurs losses to Wolves and Nottingham Forest, further raising questions as to how much he actually wants to be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beyond 2024/25.

Romero isn't a priority to sell, since he is a very good footballer. However, he isn't untouchable and may not be better than backup Kevin Danso. So for the right offer, Romero is expendable, and he is one of only a few likely sales who could actually fetch a decent return on the transfer market.

Even with a hypothetical Europa League trophy at the end of the season, it seems to be the end of the road for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur. The Australian manager's low winning rate this season would be enough to jeopardize his future at White Hart Lane, even if he wins a trophy for Spurs after 25 years.

From the managers speculated in a substitute list, the Austrian Oliver Glasner, currently manager at Crystal Palace, has been linked with the lilywhites in the past and could be a surprising candidate to take over the helm. According to sources, Glasner even has a 17 million euro release clause in his contract, which could facilitate a transfer to the North London club.

In the faithful, or rather likely, event of Ange getting sacked, and Glasner were to become Tottenham Hotspur's next manager, who would benefit the most from the Austrian turning into the new boss?

Pedro Porro

Pedro Porro would immensely benefit from Oliver Glasner becoming Tottenham Hotspur, assuming that the Spanish international would stick around White Hart Lane. While playing for Sporting Lisbon under Ruben Amorim, the now Manchester United boss, Porro thrived as a right-back, a position that drew Spurs' attention to his profile with Antonio Conte at the helm.

With Pedro Porro adapting to a right-back role, or inverted fullback with Ange, I believe he has enough skills on the ball to adjust to central positions. However, his biggest issue lies in his defensive abilities, as is well known. More specifically, Ange's scheme requires the fullbacks to transition frequently, which aligns more with Udogie's profile rather than Porro's. With the Spaniard eventually returning to a role he is most accustomed to, and one that does not overexpose him defensively, would be highly beneficial.

Radu Drăgușin

Radu Drăgușin has had his fair share of criticism since joining Spurs, which is well-justified to an extent. The Romanian center-half does possess the same composure in possession of Romero's nor Micky Van de Ven's engine, which are both essential to Ange's tactics on and off the ball. Hence, when he was obligated to step up amidst the injury crisis, he struggled massively. For instance, Kevin Danso adjusted way better and way quicker than Radu.

However, a transition to a back-three would be extremely positive for him. With a more established defensive line and less responsibility in possession as a central defender, Radu Drăgușin could focus on his most prominent traits: physical and aerial duels. With that in mind, I believe Radu could do some good with a schematic change at Spurs.

Rodrigo Bentancur

It is undeniable that Rodrigo Bentancur's best time at Spurs was during the Conte era, when he played as an 8 in the Italian's 3-4-3 system. The Uruguayan is still that same player; however, he does not thrive as a single pivot in Ange's system, even though he has the on-the-ball abilitiy to do so.

To have a particular skillset does not necessarily mean that it is the best position for you, and I think that is the case with Bentancur. It still bothers me that people keep asking for Spurs to sell the South American, mainly because he was likely the second-best player at the club, apart from Harry Kane, during the previous manager's tenure. With a different system and him returning to the number 8 role, Bentancur could be back to his best at Spurs.

James Maddison

Madders was unquestionably Spurs' best player when the Ange Era began. With overwhelming performances and killer instincts, the former Leicester player has proved why Tottenham paid for his services. That standard was unfortunately interrupted after that first injury against Chelsea. However, it is still possible to see some sparks of that player, even though not to the same level of consistency.

Now, with Glasner behind the wheel, I believe one thing that would benefit Madders the most is taking his responsibility during the build-up. Often, more times than not, James Maddison drifts behind the midfield to support the build-up, which distances him from taking more threatening positions close to the opponents' half-spaces. As a genuine number 10, similar to Eze's role at Crystal Palace, the Englishman could prove more useful in those areas.

Son Heung-min

Sonny has arguably not been the same player in recent years. He no longer has the same speed, which hinders his ability to adapt to Ange's touchline winger profile. In fact, I was more of a fan of Sonny playing close to the box, similar to his first year under the Australians' tenure.

Not particularly as a striker, but as a second striker, which is similar to the role he played under Mourinho, Sonny can be way deadlier as he was a duo to Harry Kane. The truth is that Son was never the 1v1 machine profile, but his speed, which is no longer there, and especially his shooting abilities with both feet, were always his best traits. Therefore, the closer to the goal, the better, which is precisely what Glasner could bring to Tottenham.

Mathys Tel

Similar to Sonny's, although it is not a guarantee that Tel will be at White Hart Lane next season, the Frenchman could also be more effective playing in central areas close to the box. His speed, spatial awareness, and shooting potential could be a difference maker for him at Spurs.

Therefore, I thought Tel was the perfect honorable mention for this list, as he is an attacker who has been mistakenly used as a touchline winger by Ange. Just like Bentancur, he can indeed do that role, but it is not the one I think he can truly thrive in Lilywhite.
