Tottenham Hotspur entertained Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. Spurs made a horror start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the fourth minute when Kenny Tete found the back of the net. Harry Wilson doubled Fulham’s lead just two minutes later as Thomas Frank’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.

Mohammed Kudus got a goal back for Tottenham in the 59th minute. However, Spurs ended up suffering a tough 2-1 loss in front of their home fans.

Let’s take a look at how each Tottenham Hotspur player fared during the clash against the Cottagers.

Vicario made a costly error at the back and conceded two early goals tonight.

RB: Pedro Porro – 7/10

He was a positive influence at both ends of the field.

CB: Kevin Danso – 7/10

Danso put his foot through the ball when needed and was a strong presence in the air.

CB: Micky van de Ven – 6/10

He made a sloppy start to the game but was tidy with his ball distribution.

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs monitoring Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports.

Spurs wanted to bring the 25-year-old Ghana international to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club in the summer but signed his countryman Mohamed Kudus instead.

Semenyo has since signed a new five-year deal with the Cherries, but the North London club are looking to sign another forward in January and have him on their radar.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank wants a left attacker, and the versatile Bournemouth star fits the bill.

Semenyo ended last season with 13 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances and has continued his form this term, with six and three assists to his name in 11 Premier League games so far this season.

The Ghanaian ended 2023-24 with eight goals and three in 33 league games and has proven himself in the English top-flight.

Spurs could do with such a player in their attack but they are not the only ones keen on recruiting his services, with Liverpool and Manchester City also monitoring his situation.

He is expected to leave the Cherries soon but luring him away halfway through the season could prove tricky as the club have also started 2025-26 on a solid note under manager Andoni Iraola.

Tottenham and other suitors may need to wait until the summer to have a realistic chance of signing him.

However, nothing can be ruled out as Ghana’s failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations – holding from December to January 2026 – makes Semenyo more attractive to Spurs and others.

The Lilywhites are aiming for a top-five finish in the Premier League and are eyeing another major silverware this term after winning the Europa League last season.

They will need to strengthen their squad to boost their chances, and signing someone like Semenyo will come in handy.

In a recent report, journalist Pete O’Rourke claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Juventus forward Jonathan David. It is believed that Spurs are eyeing a move to secure the services of the Canadian striker next year.

David has caught the eye at times with his performances as the focal point of Juventus’ attack this season. The Canadian centre-forward has made 14 appearances for the Turin outfit in this campaign so far, scoring one goal and earning one assist across all competitions.

The 25-year-old has led the line well and has done well to average 2.24 shots per 90 minutes in Serie A. He has kept 36.4% of his attempts on target. David was even tidy with his ball distribution after completing 78.2% of his attempted passes in the Italian top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2030, which would make it difficult for Spurs to sign him on the cheap next year.

David excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

However, the Canadian striker has to find a way to be more consistent in front of the opponent’s goal. Plus, there are some concerns over whether he can adapt to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League.

We can expect David to bring more quality and depth to Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank’s frontline. He is good enough to compete for a regular starting spot at the North London club in the coming years.

At 25, David has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for Tottenham to consider next year. He would even help the London giants compete across all fronts in the future. Thus, Frank would be wise to move in for the Canada international this January or at the end of this season. However, Spurs have to give him some time to settle into life in England.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Martin Ho praised his players after a 3-0 Subway Women’s League Cup win over Birmingham City.

And he said he couldn’t ask for anything more from them after a fine start to the season, which has left them fourth in the Women’s Super League table before the international break – ahead of local rivals Arsenal.

“I think up to this point we’ve done really well – 12 points in the league and five points in the cup. I couldn’t ask for more,” he told the club’s official website.

“The group has given me everything so far and I want to make sure we continue to build on that. We can’t get comfortable or think we can take our foot off the gas. We have six really big games after the break, and we need to go into those games ready to win.”

He was particularly impressed on Sunday with goalscorers Olivia Holdt, who got a brace, and Amanda Nilden.

“Three points, three goals. I’d say it was a dominant performance for large spells. Maybe the last five or ten minutes, we got a little bit scrappy with the ball and gave away a few too many easy chances through our own build-up.

“Apart from that, I thought it was a really good performance. Some good individual performances, but collectively a really positive one off the back of Chelsea.

“The first goal was really good in terms of her instinctiveness in the box – to lift it over the keeper when she comes out. Then, her ability to go around the keeper on the second one. The build-up play to that point was good, really clever – a great through ball for the second goal.

“Amanda’s goal where she cuts inside and puts it in the bottom corner – that gives us a really nice 3–0 win and, more importantly, an opportunity to get closer to progression out of the group.”

Tottenham Hotspur are top of Group E, with five points from their two matches so far.

Tottenham Hotspur’s next match will be in the Women’s Super League on Sunday, 2nd November, when they face Liverpool after the international break.

Their next match in the Subway Women’s League Cup is away to Bristol City, on Sunday, 23rd November.

In a recent report, talkSPORT mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo. It has been stated that Spurs would have to compete with Manchester United in the race to land the Ghana international next year.

Semenyo’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Semenyo has made a decent start to this Premier League campaign as he has put in a string of impressive displays for the Cherries in the final third. The 25-year-old has scored six times and earned three assists in eight matches for Bournemouth this season on all fronts.

The Ghanaian sensation has caught the eye with his contributions in the final third and deserves credit for averaging 2.29 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He has kept 50% of his attempts on target. However, Semenyo needs to improve his ball distribution in the opponent’s half, based on his pass completion rate of 67.1% in league football (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Vitality Stadium will run out in the summer of 2030. Hence, it won’t be easy for Spurs to get a deal over the line for him on the cheap next year.

Will Semenyo Be A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur?

Semenyo is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

The Ghanaian talent can shoot the ball with power from long range. He can even contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas. Semenyo is primarily a right-winger but can also perform as a left-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if needed. He has already proven himself in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club.

We can expect Semenyo to add more quality and depth to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s attack. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming years.

At 25, Semenyo has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to pursue this January or at the end of this campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur’s majority owners, ENIC Group, have injected £100m of new capital into the club in a move designed to strengthen its financial foundation and support long-term sporting growth, BBC Sport reports.

The investment, announced on Wednesday, comes from the Lewis Family Trust, which controls ENIC and holds an 86.58% stake in the north London club. The remaining shares are owned by a group of minority investors. Spurs said the new funding will “equip the club’s leadership team with additional resources to continue the focus on driving long-term sporting success.”

The Lewis family’s influence has grown markedly in recent months following a period of boardroom reshuffling, including the departure of former chairman Daniel Levy in September. Although Levy retains a 29.88% stake in ENIC, he no longer holds any operational role at the club.

A source close to the Lewis family described the £100m as “initial additional funding,” adding that further investment could follow depending on the club’s strategic requirements. “The Lewis family is committed to backing the club to be successful,” the source said.

The injection comes amid speculation over potential takeover bids, with American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick’s bid the latest to be rejected, with Tottenham reiterating that the club is not for sale.
