Tottenham’s Premier League season has been one to forget, and with just a handful of games left, a supercomputer has crunched the numbers to predict exactly how many points Spurs will finish the campaign with.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League campaign has been nothing short of disappointing. The Lilywhites, in Ange Postecoglou’s second season at the helm, find themselves languishing in 14th place, with their league ambitions all but dead.

After 29 games, Spurs have suffered 15 defeats and managed just ten wins, leaving their season in tatters.

With fewer than ten matches remaining, an AI-powered Supercomputer has attempted to forecast the final points tally for Tottenham.

Opta AI predicts Tottenham’s final points total

According to Opta AI, Spurs, who currently sit on 34 points, are expected to pick up an additional 12 points from a possible 27 in their remaining nine fixtures, bringing their points total to 46 after 38 games.

At the very least, Tottenham are predicted to win four of their final nine games before the curtain falls on the Premier League season.

Of course, with an international break in the mix, Spurs will return to Premier League action on 3rd April, where they will take on London rivals Chelsea in what promises to be a crunch fixture.

Europa League is now Spurs’ main focus

Realistically, Spurs’ Premier League campaign was sealed the moment they fell to their 15th defeat of the season at the hands of Fulham.

The focus now is firmly on the Europa League, where Tottenham are set to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.

However, if the Supercomputers are to be believed, Spurs aren’t expected to go all the way in that competition.

Opta’s AI has Tottenham as the third most likely team to lift the Europa League trophy, but another algorithm suggests Spurs will crash out in the quarter-finals of the Europa League at the hands of Frankfurt.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs can defy the data and salvage something from an otherwise dismal season.

Enzo Millot has now confirmed his desire to seek a new challenge in the summer, with Tottenham and Arsenal ready to pounce on him when the transfer window reopens.

We could see some big chances in the midfield department at Spurs this summer, with reports suggesting that Yves Bissouma is expected to leave Tottenham.

It has now been claimed that Ange Postecoglou’s men could turn their attention to a young Frenchman, who has grown into one of the most consistent midfielders in the Bundesliga over the last couple of years.

The player in question is VfB Stuttgart’s Enzo Millot, who has now made a big admission about his future ahead of the summer transfer window.

Tottenham interested in Enzo Millot amidst transfer admission

It has been revealed in the print edition of Bild (as relayed by Sport Witness) that the versatile Millot is expected to leave Stuttgart this season.

The outlet quotes the 22-year-old as saying: “A departure? Yes, of course, that’s a goal I’ve set for myself. To be able to take a step forward.”

Bild then explain that Millot’s displays have caught the attention of Tottenham and Arsenal, who are both keen on the Stuttgart man.

In addition to the Premier League duo, Saudi Pro League club, Al-Nassr, are all keeping tabs on the youngster’s situation ahead of the summer.

Millot could be available for a cut-price fee

The publication goes on to explain that the Stuttgart man could be the subject of a transfer battle between the two North London sides in the summer.

However, neither club will have to pay over the odds to sign the midfielder even though his current contract runs until 2028.

This is because Millot’s deal has a release clause of ‘just under €20m’ (£16.7m) which makes him a very ‘affordable’ option for Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

One English striker who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur has made an admission about Harry Kane that might spell good news for the Lilywhites.

Reports have indicated that Richarlison could be on his way out of Tottenham this summer, which is why the North London club could decide to enter the market for a number nine to share the burden with Dominic Solanke.

It has been claimed by a number of outlets over recent months that Spurs are big fans of Liam Delap, who is having an impressive first season at Ipswich, having found the back of the net 10 times in the Premier League so far.

Some sources have even alleged that Tottenham are confident of beating Chelsea and others to Delap’s signature, with Ange Postecoglou alleged to have green-lit the signing of the 22-year-old.

Liam Delap makes Harry Kane admission

Delap has been called up to England’s Under-21 squad and the young striker had a chance to join in with the senior squad in training at St George’s Park this week.

The Ipswich man confessed that he has looked up to Tottenham’s record goalscorer for a long time and admitted to being in awe of the England captain’s finishing in training.

Delap said about Kane: “He’s someone I’ve looked up to for ages. He’s got everything. He’s had the most amazing career and he’s still flying. To watch him live is an incredible experience.

“I had a little chat with him, he’s a really nice guy. I watched him enough in the shooting drill to take so much from him and he’s just incredible. Just everything goes in. It’s the best I’ve seen.”

Tottenham will be delighted to hear Delap’s admission

The news that Delap idolises Harry Kane may come as a potential boost to Tottenham’s pursuit of the young forward.

The Ipswich man may find it difficult to turn down the chance to carry on the 31-year-old’s legacy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by making the switch to North London.

However, with the Tractor Boys looking destined to go down, Spurs may have to contend with an intense transfer battle for Delap’s signature this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on signing Greek wunderkind Charalampos Kostoulas, but they now have a huge problem on their hands after Aston Villa stepped up their interest in signing the player ahead of the summer.

Tottenham’s transfer policy of signing young, up-and-coming talent has proven successful over the last couple of years, which is why the Lilywhites appear to be keen on doing more of the same this summer.

The latest player on the radar is a 17-year-old Olympiacos starlet, who has been setting Greek football alight since making his senior bow at the start of this campaign.

It first emerged at the start of this month that Tottenham have set their sights on Charalampos Kostoulas, but a new update has now suggested that the forward is more likely to end up at one of Spurs’ Premier League rivals.

Tottenham fall behind Aston Villa in Charalampos Kostoulas race

CaughtOffside have now revealed that it is Aston Villa who are now leading the race to land Kostoulas, who has found the back of the net six times in 21 league matches in his debut season.

It is explained that Villans are extremely keen on landing the versatile forward and have now moved ahead of Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest in the transfer queue.

In fact, it is asserted that Unai Emery’s men already have plans in place on how to build their side around the teenager in the future.

Tottenham thus may have work to do if they are to wrestle their way back to the front of the pack in the race for Kostoulas.

Kostoulas is expected to seal a summer move

CaughtOffside explain that Olympiacos are not keen on selling their academy graduate as they see him as a potential star for the future.

It is asserted that they would demand as much as €30m (£25m) for the forward if any clubs come knocking on their door to ask about his availability.

However, the publication adds that with the interest in Kostoulas’ services growing by the day, Olympiacos will struggle to keep him at the club beyond the summer.

It has been two seasons since Harry Kane departed Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich. Now, he believes his move to Germany has given him a greater aura and put him firmly in contention for football’s biggest individual honour.

Since swapping North London for Bavaria, Harry Kane has been nothing short of prolific. The Bayern Munich forward has registered 99 goal involvements in just 82 games, proving his quality on the biggest stage.

Despite his stunning individual form, silverware continues to elude him. Bayer Leverkusen’s exceptional 2023/24 campaign denied Bayern yet another Bundesliga title, leaving Kane still in search of his first major club honour.

Yet, while the wait for a trophy goes on, Kane’s stock has undoubtedly risen in the footballing world.

Now, in an interview, Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time top scorer has revealed that since moving to Bayern, he feels “more respected” and believes the transfer has elevated his status. He also thinks it has put him firmly in the Ballon d’Or conversation.

Harry Kane feels more respected since leaving Tottenham

Speaking to The Standard, Harry Kane explained: “Just being at a club like Bayern Munich has helped push me on even more, confidence-wise and responsibility-wise.

“Sometimes, when you’re playing in these types of teams where you’re getting loads of chances, when you‘re expected to score 30, 40 a season, that’s an expectation I like to have. It almost puts more pressure on myself to perform.

“I feel like I’ve definitely got better, I’ve improved, and maybe the aura of me as a player is a bit more respected than what it has been in the past, because you’re playing in big games, big nights.”

Kane also made it clear that winning major silverware would make him a genuine contender for the most prestigious individual award in football: the Ballon d’Or.

“One hundred per cent,” he said. “I felt that last season as well. I scored over 40 goals, but obviously, I was never going to win the Ballon d’Or because we didn’t win the team trophies.”

Spurs have struggled since losing Kane

While Kane continues to shine on the big stage, Tottenham Hotspur’s performances have nosedived.

Currently, Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League table, a staggering 15 points off fourth place and 10 points away from mid-table.

It’s no surprise that Kane is thriving at Bayern. Time and again, we’ve seen players leave Spurs and go on to lift major honours. He now looks like he could soon join that list, especially given Bayern’s usual dominance in German football.

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in a Premier League full-back and they are currently thought to be leading two of their rivals in the race to land him this summer.

Spurs may need to enter the market for a left-back this summer, with Ben Davies’ current deal running out in June.

A few months ago, it emerged that Tottenham have set their sights on Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, who has been extremely consistent at left-back as well as at left wing-back since arriving at the Molineux Stadium back in 2021.

Now a fresh report has suggested that the Lilywhites may face competition from two other Premier League sides for the Algeria international.

Tottenham are Rayan Ait-Nouri’s most likely destination

Africa Foot have now backed up Spurs’ interest in the Wolves man, revealing that the North London club have already contacted the Midlands side about a summer move for the defender.

However, it is explained that Ange Postecoglou’s men are far from alone, with Liverpool and West Ham also named as admirers of Rayan Ait-Nouri.

The report says that Tottenham’s ‘leaders’ have held a meeting with Wolves and have made it clear that they are ready to offer €35m (£29.2m) for the left-back.

MORE SPURS STORIES

As a result, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has emerged as the ‘most likely destination’ for Ait-Nouri ahead of both Anfield and the London Stadium.

Will Wolves cash in on Ait-Nouri?

The report points out that Ait-Nouri will enter the final year of his contract at Wolves this June, thus raising a question mark about his future at the club.

It is revealed that Vitor Pereira’s men have an option to extend the full-back’s deal until 2026.

However, this summer could be the final window where they can get a decent fee for Ait-Nouri, which is why they might be tempted to cash in on him.

Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has confirmed that Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall was not fit to train on Wednesday, but Spurs fans need not be worried about the midfielder’s fitness.

Lucas Bergvall has arguably been Tottenham Hotspur’s most consistent performer over recent months alongside Djed Spence, with the 19-year-old making himself undroppable with his energetic and enterprising displays in the middle of the park.

There is understandably a lot of excitement surrounding the 19-year-old, who appears to have all the raw materials to evolve into a world-class midfielder.

The teenager might have been keen to take his form onto the international stage, but he may have to wait just a few days longer as he is now at risk of missing Sweden’s upcoming friendly.

Lucas Bergvall misses out on first Sweden start through illness

Spurs fans might have been concerned when they saw reports that Bergvall did not train with the Sweden squad on Thursday. The last thing that the Lilywhites need right is to lose the teenager to an injury at the business end of the season.

However, Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson later revealed that the Tottenham man was only ruled out from training due to illness.

Tomasson told Aftonbladet about Bergvall: “We are one player short today, we will see how he feels tomorrow. He has a cold and is not in top form. Now he had to stay in bed, so we will see how he feels during the day.

“We will have to wait and see how the match goes on Saturday, we cannot decide that now. He could have maybe been a little bit involved today, but there is no reason to take any risks.”

Sweden have since confirmed via their official website that Bergvall will miss the game against Luxembourg with ‘cold symptoms’. However, the Spurs starlet may still be able to play some part against Northern Ireland next week.

Sweden boss explains why Bergvall is doing something special

Speaking earlier this week, Tomasson revealed that Tottenham told him just how unpreceded Bergvall’s success is in his debut Premier League season.

He explained that the North London club spoke about the fact that players coming straight from Scandinavia almost never hit the ground running in the English top flight.

Tomasson said: “I’ve spoken to Tottenham too and they told me a story that I actually didn’t know: That the last player to go from a league in Scandinavia straight to the Premier League and play this much in his debut season was Daniel Agger. Many years ago. That says a little about Lucas’ performance as a very young player.”

Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles this season have been well-documented, and now former Chelsea captain John Terry has weighed in with a blunt assessment of their chances in the Europa League – one that certainly won’t sit well with Ange Postecoglou.

Of course, it has been a difficult season for Tottenham Hotspur. Fourteenth in the league, 15 points off fourth, 10 adrift of tenth, and sitting on just 34 points from 29 games while already suffering 15 defeats – it has been nothing short of a nightmare campaign.

Ange Postecoglou is undoubtedly feeling the heat, especially after Spurs’ recent 2-0 loss to Fulham in the Premier League.

Jamie O’Hara has even gone as far as to suggest that Postecoglou’s job is hanging by a thread. Meanwhile, former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has set an ultimatum for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, stating that it’s Europa League or bust for the Australian.

John Terry questions Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League credentials

No Tottenham manager has lifted silverware in nearly two decades, which underlines the size of the task at hand for the under-fire gaffer.

While Ange has claimed he wins things in his second season, ending Spurs’ trophy drought and bringing silverware to N17 would be quite the achievement.

With the 59-year-old manager looking for solutions, Chelsea legend John Terry has now given his verdict, and it’s not one the Aussie will enjoy hearing.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Terry has made it clear that he isn’t convinced Tottenham can win the Europa League, citing their play style as a major concern. He also couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the club’s long-running trophy drought.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Terry said: “It’s nice for him [Jamie O’Hara] to remind me of 2008… Yeah, that’s the only trophy they’ve won in about a hundred years and probably will be in the next hundred years as well.”

Of course, Terry is exaggerating for comic effect, but perhaps he should still be reminded that Tottenham have an extensive trophy cabinet that dates back to before Chelsea were bought out by rich owners.

Terry also questioned Tottenham’s ability to lift the Europa League: “Would they win it? I’m not sure. They look different, they look a different side to me this year. They don’t look the exciting threat – the pace they had up front before. I think it’s a thing in modern-day football as well, I’m not sure teams are running behind anymore.”

Why Ange Postecoglou must focus on results over style

Spurs simply cannot afford to obsess over play style at this point, and neither should Ange Postecoglou. It’s all about results now, and that’s what will ultimately keep him in the job.

If parking the bus is what it takes to bring silverware to north London, then so be it. Fans will take a trophy over playing attractive football any day.

Ange is, without a doubt, an attacking, high-intensity manager, but given the situation he finds himself in, he might need to start paying more attention to the defensive side of things.

Otherwise, his second season might not even get the chance to deliver the success he’s promised.

Mauricio Pochettino has stated that he’d love a return to Tottenham Hotspur. Given Ange Postecoglou’s struggles this season, the question is simple – should Spurs bring Pochettino back? Here’s why they should.

It’s no secret that Pochettino has an eye on a Spurs return in the future – the man himself has said as much in multiple interviews this week alone.

Despite his departure from the club in 2019, Pochettino has maintained a positive relationship with chairman Daniel Levy, suggesting that a comeback to Hotspur Way is only a matter of timing.

Of course, with Ange Postecoglou’s struggles this season, talk of managerial changes has surfaced. And with Pochettino publicly stating his desire to return, the question remains: should Tottenham Hotspur bring the Argentine back to N17?

Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham legacy and the debate over his return

Spurs fans are split over the idea of Pochettino’s return. Some remain against it, citing his decision to take the Chelsea job—a move seen as a betrayal given the intense rivalry between the clubs.

Others argue that, despite the quality squad he had during his first tenure, he failed to win silverware when his players were in their prime.

While these are fair points, many seem to overlook where Tottenham currently stand. Spurs are a far cry from the team Pochettino built into an elite side, one that competed at the top end of the Premier League and reached a Champions League final.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Right now, they’re languishing in 14th place—a position they haven’t finished in since the 03/04 season.

Given this slump, attracting top-tier managers would be increasingly difficult. This explains why Spurs are being linked with names like Marco Silva, Martin Russell, and Andoni Iraola—good managers, no doubt, but not quite in the elite bracket just yet.

Why Mauricio Pochettino makes sense for Tottenham

Among the available options, Pochettino stands out as someone who has the pedigree to compete with the likes of Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, and Arne Slot.

Love him or hate him, he has proven his ability to work with young players, maximise their potential, and build a long-term project.

When he first arrived at Spurs, taking over from Tim Sherwood, he wasted no time in making an impact.

Barring his first season, where he finished fifth in the League, Pochettino never placed lower than fourth in his five full campaigns in charge. He also put together an EFL Cup final run in that same season.

Following his first campaign at Spurs, Pochettino managed two third-place finishes and a second-place finish—impressive given the club’s modest transfer budget at the time.

Even when the Lilywhites went multiple windows without signing a single player, he still guided them to a Champions League final and masked many of the shortcomings of the Levy era.

Would a Pochettino return stabilise Spurs?

With Tottenham now boasting a squad brimming with young talent and Levy finally showing some willingness to invest, bringing Mauricio Pochettino back seems like a logical step.

His track record suggests he could at the very least provide much-needed stability to a club that has lacked direction in recent years.

That said, given his commitment to managing the USA national team, a return anytime soon seems unlikely. But if the opportunity does present itself, it’s one that Tottenham should seriously consider.
