Tottenham Hotspur confirmed on Sunday that summer signing Wilson Odobert had undergone surgery on his right hamstring.

The French winger has only featured in five games for Spurs since joining from Burnley in August for a transfer fee of £25million plus £5m in add-ons.

Spurs said in a club statement: 'We can confirm that Wilson Odobert underwent surgery to his right hamstring yesterday (Saturday 16 November).

'The 19-year-old will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team to determine when he can return to training.'

Odobert's surgery took place at the Princess Grace Hospital in Marylebone.

The player used Instagram to share a photo from his hospital bed, alongside the caption: 'Thanks god'.

Tottenham centre back Micky van de Ven has also been struggling with a hamstring issue in recent weeks.

The Dutch defender suffered the injury during Tottenham's 2-1 win over Manchester City in the EFL Cup on November 3.

Van de Ven has since missed matches against Aston Villa, Galatasaray and Ipswich.

However, Spurs expect Van de Ven to be available to face Man City again after the international break on November 23.

Plenty of people like to attack Tottenham. They like it because it’s easy - anyone can get a good shot off against Spurs and the other day that extended to an unlikely source. Hugo Lloris was one of their own and even he fancied a ping.

The dig was slipped into the pages of his new book and aimed at Daniel Levy. It was a cheap hit, really, and based on a gesture that backfired before the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool, when the chairman gifted each of his players a luxury watch. The offence, such as it was, had been caused by a word inscribed on the back: ‘Finalist.’

‘Who does such a thing at a moment like this?’ Lloris wrote. ‘I still haven’t got over it, and I’m not alone.

‘I have considerable respect for the man but there are things he is simply not sensitive to. As magnificent as the watch is, I have never worn it. With an engraving like that, Levy couldn’t have been surprised if we had been 1-0 down after a couple of minutes.’

Drawing a line between a watch and an iffy penalty after 106 seconds was a bit of a stretch. Daft even, and Lloris isn’t typically a daft man. But it was always going to be a point that found an audience, because it played to the old theme of Tottenham lacking the right stuff.

I never much cared for the ‘Spursy’ term – it doesn’t carry the wit of its cousin, ‘Dr Tottenham’. As in, Dr Tottenham will see you now and take all your problems away. They gave Palace a first win of the season and supplied the same relief for Ipswich. Next up, they face Manchester City and the expectation will be of a similar service to Pep Guardiola in his time of need.

Whenever I think of Tottenham, I think about my nephew, a wonderful boy. He can run through the names and nuances of their squad without drawing breath and could probably recite the birthdays, too – he’s at that lovely stage on the obsession arc. But he knows the drill by now, so when they dominated Leicester on the opening day and left with a draw, he sent me a message: ‘Classic Spurs.’ He’s 11 years old and sometimes my sister blames herself for what was imposed on him.

But he’s very much pro-Ange and that’s nice, because I tend to think Postecoglou is the most fascinating manager in the division.

I wrote in this space towards the end of last season about the beautiful madness of Postecoglou and compared him a little facetiously to one of those preachers who demonstrate their faith with rattlesnakes. The point was about knowing the dangers of placing too much belief in an ideology, because there are only so many times you can get bitten.

It’s been just over a year since he took Tottenham to the top of the Premier League and introduced us to the style that was so daring and intoxicating, before it started to look so flawed. Coming out of this international break, they sit 10th and we aren’t talking about a blip or post-Euros lull.

If we were to study the past 38 league games, only four clubs among the 17 who retained their place in the division have lost more than the 16 given up by Postecoglou’s Tottenham and their 56 points in that span is good for 10th. They would be considerably closer to the bottom three than top three in that reckoning - Bournemouth have one point more.

It’s not a real league table but it is a real funk.

Eventually it won’t be enough to merely offer more entertainment than an Antonio Conte side, and we may be there already. To listen to the rather irate fan who called into talkSPORT last weekend, Postecoglou ‘couldn’t motivate a tin of tuna’.

You might struggle with the imagery but you can understand the frustrations – a team that stuffed United at Old Trafford, beat Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and put four on Aston Villa also lost to Ipswich and Palace and took nothing from a 2-0 lead at Brighton.

They are a side to be enjoyed but not trusted. A side that goes on a lovely stroll up field but is forever leaving the house unlocked. A side that routinely gives up the first goal in games. A side that remains one of the worst for defending set-pieces. A side with no plan B, but plan A could only really work if Son Heung-min was closer to his brilliant peak and a truly elite finisher had replaced Harry Kane.

And so you have to wonder about Postecoglou. After City, their next nine league fixtures include Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Arsenal, as well as the overachievers at Fulham and Nottingham Forest. It could be a slog.

But I’d hope none of that feeds into the usual outcome for a manager. The league is better for the presence of a stubborn dreamer, a scowler in a black suit who is committed to using only the brightest colours in his work.

Postecoglou’s image versus his tactical outlook mimics the contradictions of the club itself – they have the finest stadium in football but an institutional resistance to spending the wages necessary to fill it with the best players.

For Levy, top four will always be the prime objective, anything else a bonus, and that’s the sort of messaging Lloris was fumbling at. The summer transfer business supported what is so often said about them, because when an opportunity presented itself, with Liverpool and Chelsea changing manager and United panicked into keeping Erik Ten Hag, Spurs signed four teenagers and one established striker in Dominic Solanke.

The regret comes from the impression that when chances present themselves, Levy sets the template for what follows on the pitch – he just won’t convert.

To watch Tottenham is to see a team that is not so far off. If anything, there have been improvements in everything but the numbers that actually matter. No one has scored more, only four have conceded less. It just mostly strikes in the wrong places at the wrong times.

Those are metrics which indicate the manager’s system could work. That with a higher calibre of personnel the madness could have some merit.

But for now, it is easier to enjoy the idea of Postecoglou more than the reality. Those maligned watches are ticking on how long it is considered sustainable.

Why Cates could be what Match of the Day needs

Our reporters were asked the question this week of who should replace Gary Lineker on Match of the Day. I went with Kelly Cates, who shared a quite brilliant tale when I interviewed her and Graeme Souness six years ago about their work together on Sky Sports.

I had brought along a black and white photograph of Souness holding Cates as a toddler and she had her tongue poked out at him. Of course, Souness is close to her old man, Kenny Dalglish, and so he was over at their house pretty regularly in those Liverpool days, which led to him often taking Cates out in her pram. In our chat she outed his motive to use her as his ‘wing man’.

There was no denial from Souness: ‘Without realising it, she was my introduction to some lovely young ladies. I’d be walking along and then, “What a gorgeous baby”.’

His grin told the rest of that story, before he went on to paint a picture of how he, Alan Hansen and Dalglish would forever park themselves in the latter’s living room to debate the nitty gritty of football. When Cates walked in, she would hold her own. These days she still does, steering the discussions between Sky’s alphas better than anyone and with no ego. It feels precisely like the change of pace that Match of the Day needs.

Tyson's defeat was a sad spectacle

Out of curiosity I watched Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul.

He looked old walking to the ring and he looked older as he ambled around after that muppet for eight rounds. It was a despicable concept but above all else it just felt a bit sad that it ever came to this.

Former Tottenham and Barcelona forward has enjoyed a lucrative career change

The 35-year-old now makes £400,000-per-year in the petrochemical industry

A former Spurs player who was once likened to Lionel Messi has ventured into the oil business after hanging up his boots.

Despite earning more than 100 international caps throughout his career, the highly-touted winger struggled to make an impact in north London during a four-year stint.

He would go on to turn out for several different sides after leaving White Hart Lane, before hanging up his boots aged just 32.

However, despite never reaching the lofty heights predicted of him during his playing career, the 35-year-old has managed to find lucrative success away from the sport.

According to reports from Mexican outlet Claro Sports, Giovani Dos Santos is now making a comfortable living in the petrochemical industry, with his earnings reportedly around £400,000 or 10 million Mexican pesos per year.

Dos Santos is said to have become in a partner in the company Procura Mexico, part of the country's state-owned oil giant Pemex.

The three-time Gold Cup winner is also said to have a business selling luxury cars in his home country.

Dos Santos initially burst onto the scene as a graduate of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, making his first-team debut aged just 18 and coming on as a substitute for Thierry Henry.

In his only full season with the club's first team Dos Santos quickly became a regular feature under then Barca boss Frank Rijkaard alongside fellow academy stars Bojan and a certain Lionel Messi.

A hat-trick in the Blaugrana's final league game of the 2007-08 campaign served as yet more proof of the teenager's potential, but with competition for places fierce he joined Tottenham that summer.

The move would ultimately prove unsuccessful however, and he would be shipped out on loan three times before leaving the club permanently in 2012 without having scored a single Premier League goal.

Spells in La Liga with Mallorca and Villarreal served as yet more proof of the winger's ability under the right circumstances, and he then spent four years in the MLS with LA Galaxy.

A final two-year stint in Liga MX with America followed but injuries limited his involvement and he left the club in 2021.

Rodrigo Bentancur is anticipating a severe sanction from the FA for his alleged racist remark about South Koreans whilst on Uruguayan TV in the summer.

Appearing on the show, Bentancur was asked for a Tottenham player's jersey and replied, 'Sonny's?' - referencing his team-mate Son Heung-min.

He then added it could be Son's cousin, too, because 'more or less they are all the same'.

The FA confirmed that they have charged the South American for an 'aggravated breach' of their rules in September. A statement began: 'Rodrigo Bentancur has been charged with an alleged breach of FA Rule E3 for misconduct in relation to a media interview.'

Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Thursday that the midfielder is likely to receive a seven match ban - but that figure is unconfirmed.

While on international duty with his national side this week, the Tottenham midfielder revealed that he had been informed by his agent that the punishment will be harsh.

'My agent rang me and told me he had been notified that this was the sanction.' The 27-year-old said. 'So far, the club haven't contacted me. I already knew more or less where it was going.

'Now the sanction is out, I want to be calm here with the national team. Then we'll see when it's time to go back.'

Bentancur has played an important role for Ange Postecoglou this campaign, featuring in 10 of Tottenham's 11 Premier League games so far, starting seven.

The only league match the Uruguayan has missed this season was Spurs' home clash with Everton on the second weekend, when Postecoglou's side triumphed 4-0.

Breaking his silence on the incident earlier this summer, the former Juventus star took to social media to deliver a grovelling apology to Son, insisting to the Spurs captain it was a 'very bad joke'.

He said: 'Sonny brother! I apologise to you for what happened, it was just a very bad joke!

'You know that I love you and I would never disrespect you or hurt you or anyone else! I love you brother!'

The South Korean revealed that team-mate Bentancur was close to tears when he apologised over the alleged racial slur.

'At the moment because of the FA process I can't say much about it,' said Son in September. 'But I love Rodrigo, I love him. We've a lot of good memories since we started playing together when he joined.

'He knew and he apologised straight afterwards. We were on holiday. I was at home. I didn't even realise what was going on when he sent me a long message and you could feel it was coming from his heart.

'When we came back for pre-season he felt really sorry, and almost cried when he apologised publicly and personally as well. He felt like he was really sorry. We are all human and all make mistakes and we learn from it.'

'I love Rodrigo. I love him, I love him,' the South Korean said when he first broke his silence on the incident in June.

'He knows he made a mistake but I've no problem at all with him. We move on as a team-mate and friend and as a brother. We move on together.

'We have to wait for what the FA says in their process. I can't say much but what I can say is I love Rodrigo, there's nothing more to say.'

Bentancur's comment came less than a year after a fan was handed a three-year football ban for racially abusing Son.

Robert Garland made the racial gesture at the forward after he was substituted in the 89th minute against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on May 6 2023.

The 44-year-old fan pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment at Highbury Magistrates Court on August 25 and was convicted later that year.

The incident in May 2023 marked the third time Son had been targeted by racial abuse during while representing Tottenham last season.

Bentancur is set to miss a slate of crucial matches for Postecoglou's side, including Premier League fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea, as well as the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United on December 19.

The Football Association are set to hit Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur with a lengthy ban for making an alleged racist remark about South Koreans while on Uruguayan TV.

Multiple sources have told Mail Sport the midfielder is likely to receive a seven match ban - but that figure is unconfirmed.

Nevertheless, Bentancur is set to miss a lengthy period for Ange Postecoglou’s side in what will arrive as a major blow to Spurs.

Appearing on the show in his homeland in June, Bentancur was asked for a Tottenham player’s jersey and replied, ‘Sonny’s?’ - referencing his team-mate Son Heung-min.

He then added it could be Son’s cousin, too, because ‘more or less they are all the same.’

The FA confirmed earlier this year that they charged the South American for an ‘aggravated breach’ of their rules.

And the FA are now close to confirming Bentancur’s punishment.

Bentancur has played an important role for Postecoglou this campaign, featuring in 10 of Tottenham's 11 Premier League games so far, starting seven.

The only league match the Uruguayan has missed this season was Spurs' home clash with Everton on the second weekend, when Postecoglou's side triumphed 4-0.

Son, Tottenham's captain, revealed that team-mate Bentancur was close to tears when he apologised over the alleged racial slur.

'At the moment because of the FA process I can't say much about it,' said Son in September. 'But I love Rodrigo, I love him. We've a lot of good memories since we started playing together when he joined.

'He knew and he apologised straight afterwards. We were on holiday. I was at home. I didn't even realise what was going on when he sent me a long message and you could feel it was coming from his heart.

'When we came back for pre-season he felt really sorry, and almost cried when he apologised publicly and personally as well. He felt like he was really sorry. We are all human and all make mistakes and we learn from it.'

'I love Rodrigo. I love him, I love him,' the South Korean added.

'He knows he made a mistake but I've no problem at all with him. We move on as a team-mate and friend and as a brother. We move on together.

'We have to wait for what the FA says in their process. I can't say much but what I can say is I love Rodrigo, there's nothing more to say.'

More to follow.

Paul Merson has hit back at a Tottenham fan who called him a 'gambling wife beating alcoholic coke head' on social media.

Merson was on punditry duty during Sky Sports' Super Sunday showings over the weekend, which featured Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle and Chelsea against Arsenal.

Also on the day, though not televised in England, Tottenham took on Ipswich in north London and fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of the newly-promoted side.

Merson, who is a renowned Chelsea fan and used to play for Arsenal a two of Spurs' rivals - took to social media to brand the result 'Spursy', a word often used to mock the club.

One fan didn't see the funny side of things, mocking the 56-year-old, though Merson hit back himself.

The fan took to social media to bash Merson, posting: 'Spursy maybe but let's not forget you are a gambling wife beating alcoholic coke head. Rather be spursy than you.'

Merson then responded with a gif of Little Littler celebrating a big fish in darts with a fishing motion - suggesting he had got the response he wanted.

Merson, who was also on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, often takes to social media to share his football opinions as he does on Sky.

He sometimes comes under criticism for his past, but doesn't hide away and often bites back at fans.

On Sunday, he responded to one troll with: 'When your team lose so you go onto social media to abuse people. classic!'

Another replied: 'Jog on addict', to which Merson responded: 'Already had that one mate,' accompanied by a thumbs up emoji.

Merson has had a number of issues with gambling and alcohol throughout his life, including being involved in a car crash with a lorry on the M40 and being arrested for drink-driving in 2011.

He has opened up on his struggles with gambling and his drink and drug habits on more than once occasion, and admits he still struggles to this day.

In 1994, he admitted to having addictions to alcohol, cocaine and gambling and the FA arranged a three-month rehabilitation programme.

In 2004, meanwhile, he admitted himself to the Sierra Tucson Clinic in Arizona for help with his gambling issue under advice and financial backing from the PFA.

In 2007, it was reported that Merson was arrested and cautioned for an assault on his wife.

He is now a regular on Sky Sports, appearing on their weekly 'Soccer Saturday' show and often as a pundit during broadcasts of live matches.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou appeared to take issue with a Tottenham fan following his side's shock 2-1 defeat by Ipswich.

Spurs' inconsistent season continued on Sunday as they lost for the fifth time in 11 games this campaign, with Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap ensuring Ipswich won their first game since their return to the Premier League.

It was a result that didn't go down well with those in north London, with boos heard at full-time and fans making their feelings on the loss known.

That included near the players' tunnel, with fans gathering towards the side of the exit as players and coaching staff, including Postecoglou, left the field.

The Australian did his best to ignore some of the reactions heading his way, but was seen stopping in his tracks just before he left the field of play, seemingly taking issue with something that was said in his direction.

In a video shared on social media, the Australian could be seen deep in thought as he walked off the field following the full time whistle.

He was followed by some of the Tottenham players, including the likes of Djed Spence, and members of his coaching staff, such as Ryan Mason.

The 59-year-old wasn't fazed by anything that may have been said on his walk, until he got close to leaving the pitch, where he stopped in his tracks.

He could be seen then looking up to the fans for a short period of time, with other members of his coaching staff joining him and also stopping their walks back to the changing room. That lasted for just a few seconds, before he looked back down again and continued to head to the back.

He wasn't in the best of moods speaking to the media after the game, either, criticising Ipswich's apparent time-wasting in the match.

'I think it's the way the Premier League is going,' he said. 'It's pretty strategic now. It's funny - I always liked the Premier League because it wasn't like that.

'You'd watch teams play in Europe and get frustrated by it, but now it's part of the game here as well. There's nothing we can do about it.

'For us, if we want to mitigate those things - because we don't do it and we want the game to be played - then we shouldn't give opportunities for the opposition to do that.'

The result means Tottenham are 10th in the Premier League after 11 games of the new season, with five wins, one draw and five defeats to their names.

They are still only three point off a top four spot, but some fans have grown frustrated by inconsistent results and defensive struggles.

Both Crystal Palace and Ipswich have been near the bottom of the league when beating Tottenham for their first wins of the season, while a dominant 4-1 win over Aston Villa also occurred last week.

After the international break, Postecoglou's side will take on champions Manchester City away from home.

Ange Postecoglou expressed his fury at Ipswich for time-wasting and insisted that Tottenham would never do it.

'I think it's the way the Premier League is going,' he said. 'It's pretty strategic now. It's funny - I always liked the Premier League because it wasn't like that.

'You'd watch teams play in Europe and get frustrated by it, but now it's part of the game here as well. There's nothing we can do about it.

'For us, if we want to mitigate those things - because we don't do it and we want the game to be played - then we shouldn't give opportunities for the opposition to do that.'

Postecoglou admitted Tottenham 'didn't start the game well at all' and gave themselves 'a mountain to climb' when they went two goals behind in the first half.

'We were very passive. We didn't get the tempo or intensity right,' Postecoglou said.

'That's down to me. That's my responsibility. The inconsistency we're having this year - ultimately it comes down to me and my approach and it's something I need to try and fix.

Meanwhile, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna defended his side's approach and called it 'a day to cherish' as the Tractor Boys secured their first Premier League win since 2002.

'Managing a game when you come to a place like this and to get a result given the context, we have to find ways to control the intensity of the game and we did that really well,' said McKenna.

'It's a massive win. I'm not going to shy away from that. It's a really significant moment - a day to cherish in the recent history of the football club.

'For the supporters to see their club win in the Premier League at a club like Tottenham, at a fantastic stadium, it's a massive day for them.

'From where the club was two years ago to now be competing in the Premier League is a big step. It's a really significant landmark in the journey.'

Before Sunday, Ipswich had not won a Premier League match since April 2002

Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap scored at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

This sweet taste of Premier League victory has been a long time coming for Ipswich. More than 22 years they have waited. And of all the places they might have expected it to arrive they would not have dared to dream it would be Tottenham.

It was the club where Kieran McKenna served in the youth ranks and where his coaching journey began after injury curtailed his playing career.

And at home, Ange Postecoglou’s team have been strong, winning seven of their eight previous home games this season. Their only blemish came in the North London Derby against Arsenal but this defeat will hurt almost as much.

Spurs were booed as the away end erupted at the final whistle. McKenna’s team survived a tense and nervous eight minutes of stoppage time as they protected a slender lead.

They were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to goals by Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap and defended heroically to get over the line and players in Suffolk pink collapsed exhausted to the turf at the end having secured their first Premier League win since April 2002, against Middlesbrough, when Darren Bent was on the scoresheet.

Ipswich deserved their lead when it came via Szmodics, his third goal since the move south from Blackburn and another for the collection of awful goals Spurs are quite capable of conceding.

Delap challenged Cristian Romero in the air for a cross delivered from the right by Jens Cajuste and helped it on although not with a glancing flick. In fact, the ball looped into the air off the shoulders of the Ipswich centre forward.

Szmodics, alive to the situation, adjusted his position, with back to goal and lined up an inventive finish, hooking the dropping ball back over his own head as he fell and saw it skid into the corner. Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson stood and watched.

Spurs have conceded in 13 of their 15 Premier League home games in 2024. It is thrilling to watch them but they are so soft at the back, especially with Micky van de Ven’s pace on recovery.

McKenna had tweaked his team for his return to the club where he started his coaching journey, with full-back Ben Johnson deployed wide on the right with a nod towards the extra protection his team would require against Tottenham’s relentlessness in attack but they started positively.

Szmodics forced a save from Guglielmo Vicario within seconds. Again, he was quickest to react to a deflected cross. Dara O’Shea went close from the corner which followed, and his central defensive partner Cameron Burgess headed another corner against the bar.

Spurs winger Johnson, son of Ipswich legend David Johnson, went close at the other end when he darted in from the right to reach a teasing cross from Heung-min Son, only to see it fall narrowly wide. All this within the first 10 minutes.

Ari Muric saved from Son and Domnic Solanke as Spurs found a better rhythm and also reacted well to keep out a cross deflected towards his own goal by Leif Davis.

Ipswich stretched their lead just before half time, this time a wonderful sweeping counterattack which Rodrigo Bentancur ought to have killed in midfield. Bentancur allowed Omari Hutchinson to wriggle away from him and release Davis down the left.

Davis found Szmodics and his low cross was pushed by Spurs keeper Vicario onto his teammate Radu Dragusin and the ricochet left Delap with the simple task of crashing a shot into an open net from a matter of centimetres.

Tottenham returned for the second half with renewed purpose, kicking towards the South Stand. They have summoned fightbacks before.

Muric made a fine save to turn a curling Son shot wide and Solanke had the ball in the net only to find it ruled out by a VAR intervention. It came from a corner, won in the air by Bentancur and swept towards goal on the half volley by Solanke.

Ipswich players appealed immediately but only the replays made clear how the shot had taken an inadvertent deflection off Solanke’s left hand.

Referee Darren England was in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since his VAR blunder saw a Luis Diaz goal for Liverpool disallowed for offside despite being onside, in October last year.

There was more VAR tension for England as he waited for John Brooks to rule on a Spurs appeal for a penalty. Pedro Porro’s cross struck Davis on a hand but no penalty was given.

Rodrigo Bentancur pulled one back, a terrific header at the near post to convert a corner whipped in by Porro.

The home crowd sensed a comeback and Postecoglou’s team poured forward, committed to three up front with two number 10s in behind and the full-backs pushed as high as the wingers.

Defensively, they had the centre-halves and a sitting midfielder.

Ipswich did what they could to threaten on the break but were more concerned with disrupting the game.

Postecoglou shook his head as George Hirst demanded treatment almost as soon as he came on to replace Delap, while the rest of the visiting team decamped to the side of the pitch for an impromptu timeout with McKenna.

Werner skied a chance and Muric saved from Solanke from a tight angle but there was no way back this time.
