Chelsea and Manchester United are said to be lining up a cut-price move in January for Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović, according to reports in Italy. The Serbian's contract expires in June and the Bianconeri are keen to offload the towering striker due to his sizeable wages.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have the option to re-sign striker Harry Kane from Bayern Munich next summer if he leaves the Bavarian giants. Kane, who became the fastest player in history to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, has been heavily linked with a move back to Spurs after Thomas Frank opened the door to his return.

Manchester City have been tracking PSG teenager Warren Zaïre-Emery ahead of a potential move next summer, per reports in France. The youngster, 19, has already made over 125 appearances for the Parisian outfit but has lost his place in the team and Pep Guardiola is understood to be a fan.

Although Tottenham Hotspur didn’t pick up all three points in their 2-2 draw with Brighton on Saturday, new Spurs manager Thomas Frank was still delighted with his team’s performance. “The mentality that we showed today, I was so impressed with. The mentality to stay in the game, to keep going, to keep pushing and come back and get a well deserved 2-2,” noted the Dane to the BBC after the match. "I actually think that overall if there should have been a winner, it should have been us.”

Frank’s optimistic take on two points dropped was certainly a sign of how things have changed in North London, following the club’s decision to bring in the former Brentford tactician to replace Ange Postecoglou in the summer. For a club that was uneasily keeping one eye on the relegation spots at the start of the year, Tottenham now sit third in the Premier League table with just one defeat from their first five league games of the season. Everything seems to be clicking into place for Frank and his team, but how much have the club really improved since making their high-profile managerial change? Let’s take a look.

Postecoglou vs Frank

In Frank’s first five league games at Tottenham, the 51-year-old head coach has picked up impressive wins over Burnley, Manchester City and West Ham, while the aforementioned draw with Brighton and a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth stand out as the only black spots on his record to date. As such, the new Tottenham manager currently enjoys an impressive average of 2.0 points per league game at the North London club. And when we compare his record to his predecessor’s, we can see why Frank has been more successful.

Indeed, as the graphic above illustrates, Frank has won more points per game and enjoys a far better win percentage of 60% compared to Postecoglou 41%. That, to no great surprise, is in no small part due to Frank’s team already showcasing far more control in their league encounters. So far this season, Tottenham have averaged 2.0 goals scored per league game while conceding on average just 0.6 per game. Only Liverpool have scored more goals than Frank’s team in the first five matchdays of the season, while only Arsenal and Crystal Palace have conceded fewer.

This stands in stark contrast to Postecoglou’s time at the club. In total, Tottenham scored a decent return of 138 goals in 76 league games under the Australian tactician’s stewardship of the club, but conceded an almost equal 126 goals in that time too. As such, not only does Postecoglou’s offensive record of 1.8 goals scored per game fall below Frank’s own average, but his defensive record of 1.7 goals conceded per game is almost three times higher than his successors. Which undoubtedly explains why Tottenham were languishing near the bottom of the table last season but now sit just five points off top spot this time around.

Repeatedly hearing the word 'mate' in an Aussie accent is close to coming back to Premier League press conferences. Ange Postecoglou's imminent return to the English top-flight is certainly a good thing for the neutral. Handbrake off. Fast and fluid football. Defensive mishaps. All or nothing. That's what we became used to during his tenure at Tottenham, and the 60-year-old is now set to replace the sacked Nuno Espírito Santo as the new Nottingham Forest manager. The Australian has never held back his true emotions, and the prospect of him working with the hot-headed Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis could also add another layer of drama to proceedings.

But on the pitch itself what can Postecoglou bring to the City ground? At Spurs, there was a clear identity under the Australian. A sheer determination to play fast attacking football. It was at times naive. It certainly cost Tottenham points, and ultimately cost Postecoglou his job. But there was something admirable in how he stuck to his principles and beliefs. Will we see the same style at Forest? To try and answer the questions of Postecoglou's future at Forest, Transfermarkt takes a look back into the past and analyses his time at Tottenham.

Tottenham's worst ever Premier League finish

Let's start with the bread and butter which is the Premier League. In his first campaign in north London, Postecoglou led Tottenham to a respectable fifth-placed finish. However, after being top of the table after 10 games, it was a mighty drop off in the second half of the campaign which led to Spurs missing out on Champions League football. That form certainly carried over into last season. Under Postecoglou's stewardship, the 2024/25 season ended up being Tottenham's worst ever Premier League campaign.

As illustrated in the graphic above, the comparison to the previous 15 seasons highlights just how poor a domestic campaign it was for Spurs. They finished in 17th place with just 38 points. In many other seasons that would have been enough to actually get relegated into the second-tier. That meant that in the league last season, Postecgolou had an appalling record of just 1.00 points per game (ppg). In the Australian's defence, Tottenham did have rotten luck with injuries, and he was rarely able to call upon his best defence. However, his lack of adaptability was evident. But it was in Europe, he really showed his worth.

Winning Tottenham their first trophy in 17 years

In what has proved to be one of the coldest quotes in modern football, at the beginning of last season Postecoglou famously said, "I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year, nothing's changed." It was a quote vilified at the time, but eight months later, those words came to fruition as Tottenham beat Manchester United in Bilbao to win the Europa League - the club's first trophy in 17 years. The first since winning the EFL Cup in 2008.

In truth, the quality had significantly dropped in the competition following the UEFA changes at the start of last term, with Spurs beating Bodo Glimt in the semi-final and a poor Manchester United side in the final, but Postecoglou was the one to finally get them over the line and break the curse. Winning a trophy was the feat that most Tottenham fans wanted more than most, and would have sacrificed a miserable league campaign for the silverware. But it wasn't enough for Postecoglou to keep his job. He was relieved of his duties just two weeks later. Having Postecoglou back in the Premier League is good for the division, but will his all or nothing style lead to success with Nottingham Forest? The jury's out.

Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the signing of Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani on Monday evening, shortly after the closing of the summer transfer window. As widely reported prior to the confirmation, the France international joins the Premier League club on a season-long loan and will wear the No.29 shirt in North London. Reports suggest that the deal is a straight loan and there’s no buy option with Spurs paying a €5 million loan fee.

Kolo Muani impressed on loan at Juventus last season and the Italian giants wanted to sign him permanently but they couldn’t reach an agreement with PSG. The versatile attacker provided 16 goal contributions in 36 games for Juve and should be a shrewd signing for Tottenham. "I'm really happy and very proud to be at such a great club," said the 26-year-old talent in a club statement. "I can’t wait to meet my team-mates, all the fans and to get out on the pitch. I know what the coach expects from me. I will fight hard for the shirt, the club and the fans. I will give everything for this team."

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank added: “Randal is a quality player who has proven himself over a number of years, playing for big teams in the Champions League and also with good experience for the France national team. He's a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League, and gives us a different option in the final third being able to play out wide and through the middle."

Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur

PSG splurged an incredible €95m to sign Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 but he failed to impress at the French giants. The attacker registered 43 goal contributions in 50 games to generate huge excitement at Frankfurt but he only managed 11 goals in 54 goals for PSG. Kolo Muani’s contract runs until 2028 at Paris but he’s realistically not going to play under Luis Enrique.
