Spurs Web

The latest update regarding the future of Marcos Senesi may come as a big blow to Tottenham as the Lilywhites attempt to steer clear of relegation.

The Argentine has been an extremely consistent performer in the heart of the Cherries’ defence over the last couple of years, and, unsurprisingly, he is a wanted man ahead of the summer as he edges closer to becoming a free agent.

Spurs Web has relayed a number of reports over the last week suggesting that Tottenham are in close contact with Senesi’s representatives regarding a switch to N17 this summer.

The Lilywhites have been trying to steal a march on the competition for the Bournemouth star, but they have been hit with what could potentially be some bad news.

Tottenham target Marcos Senesi wants to finalise move in next six weeks

Over the past couple of days, some sources have said that Senesi wants his future resolved before this summer’s World Cup.

It is now being claimed by talkSPORT that the experienced centre-back wants to finalise his destination even sooner, and that he is keen to agree terms with a new club before the end of the season.

That means that all clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, may have to act very swiftly over the coming weeks to strike a deal with Senesi.

Apart from the Lilywhites, the report names Manchester United as the other Premier League club with a keen interest in the Argentine.

Why Senesi’s early transfer desire may come as a blow for Spurs

If it is true that the Bournemouth star wants to finalise a move before the end of the season, that may not be good news for Tottenham.

The club are not assured of their place in the Premier League next season, and the race for survival may well go into the final week or two of the season.

A club like Man United who appear to be moving in the right direction under Michael Carrick, may be a much more tempting destination for the 28-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on bringing Morten Hjulmand to the club, but the Lilywhites will not like hearing the latest developments on the midfielder’s future.

With reports indicating that Yves Bissouma and Joao Palhinha may not be at Spurs at the start of next season, a number six may be at the top of Roberto De Zerbi’s agenda for the summer transfer window.

Morten Hjulmand has been mooted as a target for Spurs for over a year, and it appears that Spurs have not stopped tracking the 26-year-old.

Reports from Portugal suggested last month that Tottenham can land the midfielder for around €50m (£43.2m) this summer, but there has been a new twist in the race for the Dane.

Tottenham’s Morten Hjulmand plans may be ruined by two Premier League giants

CaughtOffside now say that there is ‘strong interest’ from the Premier League in Hjulmand, who is becoming ‘one of the most closely monitored midfielders’ ahead of the summer window.

Among the interested clubs are Spurs, who are big fans of the Denmark international as they see him as ‘a potential cornerstone in their midfield system’, and someone capable of providing balance between defence and attack.

However, the report provides some bad news for the Lilywhites, revealing that both Manchester United and Liverpool have also entered the race for Hjulmand.

The Red Devils have identified the 26-year-old as a potential successor to Casemiro, while Liverpool admire the Sporting star’s versatility and endurance.

Spurs have to convince Hjulmand he can achieve success at N17

CaughtOffside say that the midfielder would likely want to earn in the range of £120,000 to £150,000 per week in the Premier League, but it is made clear that an increased salary is not his primary motivation for a transfer.

Hjulmand is said to be prioritising competitive opportunities and long-term success over financial incentives, and clubs interested in him will need to demonstrate ‘a clear vision for competing at the highest level’.

Given Tottenham’s current predicament and their lack of European football next season, one would expect them to find it challenging to convince the Sporting midfielder that he can fulfil his ambitions in North London.

Tottenham loanee Luka Vuskovic faces a race against time ahead of Hamburg’s relegation six-pointer with Werder Bremen, with his availability hinging on late fitness checks and medical clearance from Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur’s injury crisis has extended to their on-loan stars, with Mikey Moore and Luka Vuskovic currently sidelined with minor setbacks.

Moore, who has been playing through pain, is hoping to shake off a hip problem as he aims to be fit for the run-in with Rangers, who are pushing for the Scottish Championship.

Luka Vuskovic, on the other hand, took a knock to his knee and was unavailable in HSV Hamburg’s 4-0 defeat to VfB Stuttgart last weekend.

Tottenham loanee Luka Vuskovic faces late fitness call before Werder Bremen clash

But unlike Moore, who is in a title race, Vuskovic is embroiled in a relegation scrap, one that many Tottenham fans have become familiar with given their club’s struggles.

Hamburg manager Merlin Polzin is now hoping to have the Croatian back in his squad for their relegation six-pointer against Werder Bremen.

Providing an update on the defender’s condition and the ongoing efforts to get him fit, Polzin explained that the situation remains uncertain, as relayed by Bild: “We have to take it day by day.

“He is undergoing thorough examinations and intensive treatment. I am staying optimistic until kick-off; we are doing everything we can.

“Of course it is going to be tight. There is no question about that when a player is not on the pitch on Tuesday and there is a game on Saturday.”

Spurs likely to have final say on Luka Vuskovic return

However, given Vuskovic’s situation and the fact that he is not fully recovered, it is explained that a decision on whether he plays is not entirely up to Hamburg.

Bild reports that both the German side and Spurs medical teams are in contact, with claims that Tottenham must give the green light for him to return to the pitch later this weekend before he can feature for the Bundesliga outfit.

But these reports have not been confirmed by Hamburg, although it would not be a surprise if Tottenham have a say in when he can play.

Reports have now revealed how likely it is that James Maddison will feature for Tottenham Hotspur this season following his return to first-team training.

Tottenham Hotspur simply need all the help they can get in what is the crunch time of the Premier League season, as they battle to beat relegation.

However, injuries have not done the Lilywhites any favours, as they are set to be without at least eight players in their clash against Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend.

Cristian Romero became the latest to join the treatment table, alongside Mohammed Kudus, who was nearing a return but suffered a setback before Spurs’ last outing against Sunderland.

Tottenham boost as Rodrigo Bentancur returns while James Maddison recovery continues

Lucky for Tottenham, though, help does seem to be on the way, with injured stars Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison returning to training ahead of the Premier League run-in.

Spurs fans believe Bentancur will be crucial for them, while many are eager to see Maddison return to a team that has struggled for creativity for most of the season.

But with the Englishman only just recovering from an ACL injury, one he picked up back in August in a pre-season game, it seems rather unlikely that he will play a competitive match for Spurs this campaign.

Football.london has now revealed that caution has been urged around Maddison, with no expectation that he is about to step back into Premier League football at the moment.

It is explained that his return to first-team training with his teammates is simply part of his reintegration at this stage of rehabilitation.

Spurs must remain cautious with James Maddison recovery timeline

ACL injuries often take time to recover from, and Tottenham fans could look at how long it took other Spurs players to return after suffering a similar injury.

For Radu Dragusin, who suffered his ACL injury early in 2025, it took the Romanian the best part of 11 months before he returned to the pitch in a competitive game for Tottenham, only doing so this year.

In fact, before making his Premier League return, Dragusin featured in a few behind-closed-doors matches to build his fitness back up.

Based on that timeline, Maddison could be two and a half months away from a return, which effectively rules him out for the remainder of this season.

We also have Rodrigo Bentancur, who suffered an ACL injury back in 2023, with his return to training coming just shy of eight and a half months after suffering the injury – quite similar to Maddison.

However, after a few competitive appearances, the Uruguayan did suffer another setback. Although there is some solace in the fact that his return was quicker than Dragusin’s.

That does hint that Maddison could still feature this campaign if he mirrors Bentancur’s recovery.

Roberto De Zerbi has turned to an off-pitch approach in a bid to lift his struggling Tottenham squad, as the pressure continues to build heading into a decisive period of the season.

It is for sure going to be an intense end to the Premier League season for Tottenham Hotspur, who are fighting to beat the drop in the next six games.

Spurs are the worst in the English top flight in a couple of metrics, including form in the last five games, home record and form in 2026 – showing just how badly the club’s slump has been.

But new boss Roberto De Zerbi is hardly to blame, as both Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor before him failed to improve Tottenham’s situation before they were dismissed.

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi hosts team-bonding dinner amid relegation fight

The task at hand for De Zerbi is certainly huge, with the former Brighton man now expected to lift Spurs out of the drop zone.

His first attempt did not go exactly as planned, with Tottenham suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, leaving Spurs in the bottom three for the first time this season.

According to The Telegraph, De Zerbi is now looking to focus on off-pitch bonding as his side battles to avoid relegation this campaign.

MORE SPURS STORIES

It is explained that, in an effort to do so, on Wednesday night, De Zerbi took Tottenham players and staff to the Bacchanalia restaurant in Mayfair, where a main course costs from £40 up to £130.

The purpose of the outing was to bring the players closer together and ease the stress of their relegation battle, with the report explaining that the new Spurs boss wants his players to talk more and form a stronger bond for the final six games of the season.

Of course, this is a tactic Igor Tudor also tried at Spurs, but he failed to win a single Premier League match in his time at the club.

Spurs look for response after Roberto De Zerbi bonding attempt

Of course, this is not the first time that the entire Tottenham squad have gone out for a bonding meal, with former interim boss Igor Tudor arranging one last month.

But that outing had little effect on the results on the pitch, as Tottenham still did not taste victory under the Croat despite bonding together.

De Zerbi himself has stated that his players need a father-like figure, as they are low on confidence, and this meal is an attempt to improve the mental side of things.

Next up for Tottenham is a clash against De Zerbi’s former side, Brighton and Hove Albion, where securing victory is crucial. If they are to take all three points, their survival chances will be greatly increased.

Tottenham fans have been handed a potential boost ahead of the weekend, as Rodrigo Bentancur edges closer to a return, prompting a wave of mixed reactions across the fanbase.

In typical Tottenham Hotspur fashion, Roberto De Zerbi was welcomed to north London with a fresh injury right before the clash against Sunderland at the weekend, after Mohammed Kudus suffered a setback in his recovery, one that requires surgery and will keep him out until the summer.

The injury problems only continued as De Zerbi then lost captain Cristian Romero in the clash against Sunderland after the centre-back collided with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

Romero is now set to miss five to seven weeks of action – an injury that effectively rules him out for the rest of the season.

Tottenham boost as Rodrigo Bentancur returns to training before Brighton clash

We reported earlier that eight players are set to be unavailable for Spurs’ weekend clash with Brighton and Hove Albion, but a fresh development hints that the number could be reduced by one.

The Spurs players trained on Wednesday, and among those spotted on the training pitches was Rodrigo Bentancur, who has been injured for three months but has now returned to first-team training, which is certainly a boost for De Zerbi’s side.

However, it remains unclear if he will be included in this weekend’s matchday squad when Tottenham welcome Brighton to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Reacting to the update, several Spurs supporters took to social media to share their views. One fan expressed caution over his return, stating: “So was Kudus, supposedly back in training. But being Spurs, nothing can be taken for granted.”

Another added: “Too late! We are finished!” while one supporter showed excitement, stating – “LETS F***ING GOOO YAHOOO!!”

A different fan welcomed the news, saying: “Thank f**k for that. Creative genius,” while another struck a more measured tone: “Glad to see him back. We need everyone back for the journey ahead. Every match feels like a final now. No shaking!”

One supporter offered a more critical take, commenting: “He is not the player he was and he needs to be replaced at some point, but he is much needed right now. One of the few midfielders that can be calm and press resistant in midfield. The rest are too chaotic.”

Spurs need Rodrigo Bentancur to steady midfield in final stretch

It is no surprise that many Tottenham fans are not overly optimistic about Bentancur’s return to training. One reason for that is his involvement in the Spurs side that struggled under Thomas Frank in the early part of the season.

Bentancur was often criticised for his lack of progressive forward passing under the Dane, frequently opting for safer, sideways options.

While he can be guilty of playing too safely, Bentancur, however, is capable of operating under pressure, a quality that will be useful if Spurs are to maintain control in games.

The hope now is that the midfielder can rediscover form under Roberto De Zerbi and develop into a more well-rounded midfielder in the final months of the season.

The match officials for Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion have been confirmed, and Spurs may just fancy their chances.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to return to Premier League action once again this weekend, with a clash against Brighton and Hove Albion next on the agenda.

This is far from an easy outing, as Brighton are currently the second most in-form side in the league based on results from their last five outings.

A run of three consecutive wins and 12 points from a possible 15 puts the Seagulls in pole position to pile on the misery of Spurs, who, by contrast, are the worst side in the league this year.

New boss Roberto De Zerbi will, however, be hoping that his home debut provides some spark for his Tottenham side, who fell short in his first Premier League game as Spurs boss.

Tottenham vs Brighton referee Stuart Attwell confirmed for Premier League clash

Sunderland beat Tottenham 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, a defeat that sent Spurs down to the relegation places with six games to go.

The Tottenham fans will surely look to spur their side on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with hopes that it can spark an upturn in the north London club’s form.

The match officials for this weekend’s game between Tottenham and Brighton and Hove Albion have now been confirmed.

Stuart Attwell will referee, assisted by Constantine Hatzidakis and Mark Scholes. The fourth official is Farai Hallam, while VAR is Jarred Gillett, with Adam Nunn as assistant VAR.

Spurs record under Stuart Attwell offers hope before Brighton test

Spurs have barely had any luck in the league this season, but they will be hoping to find some when they take to the pitch against Brighton.

Tottenham’s record in games under Stuart Attwell, however, could provide some solace ahead of this weekend’s encounter.

Interestingly, Spurs have managed 16 wins from the 25 games he has officiated, drawing four and losing five. He has never sent a player off, while he has awarded Tottenham one spot kick.

Brighton’s record under the match official is also rather good. The Seagulls have not won as many games as Spurs in matches officiated by Attwell, winning 13, drawing seven and losing 10.

However, in terms of spot kicks, the Seagulls have had some luck under the referee, who has awarded them seven, although he has sent off three Brighton players in the 30 games he has officiated.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed what his sources have told him about the likelihood of Cristian Romero departing Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

It has now dawned on Tottenham fans that Romero may have played his final game for Spurs after his latest knee injury ruled him out of the rest of the season.

The Tottenham captain continues to be linked with the biggest clubs in the world ahead of the summer window, and everything points to a parting of ways between the North London club and the centre-back.

In fact, several sources have said that Spurs are ready to cash in on Romero even if they stay in the Premier League.

Fabrizio Romano reveals Cristian Romero’s camp expect Tottenham exit this summer

Romano has now weighed in on the ongoing speculation over the World Cup winner’s future as the Lilywhites desperately try to stay in the Premier League.

He explained that both the centre-back’s camp and Tottenham expect a summer exit, but pointed out that a deal may not be straightforward to complete.

When asked about the 27-year-old’s future, Romano said on GiveMeSport’s Market Madness podcast: “What I can tell you is that there is a feeling around all people involved in this story, on player’s side, and then on club side, it is probably going to be time for Cuti Romero to leave in the summer transfer window.

“We know it’s always difficult to negotiate with Tottenham, especially when it’s about top players. They are tough and so obviously, let’s see who is prepared to pay what Tottenham want.”

Romano reveals if Romero has a release clause in his Spurs contract

Reports over recent weeks have indicated that the Spurs defender has a release clause in his Spurs contract, which can be activated by three clubs this summer: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

This was also confirmed by the centre-back’s father, who revealed last week that Romero has a release clause of around $50-$70m (£37.8m-£53m).

However, Romano has now denied the existence of such a clause, revealing that the defender only has a gentleman’s agreement with the North Londoners regarding a summer exit.

He added: “From what I understand, there is no release clause, in paper, in the contract of Cuti Romero. It was just a gentleman’s agreement, but with the previous chairman, Daniel Levy, but now there is no release clause to be activated.

“The price is up to Tottenham. It’s Tottenham deciding, so we have to see how the negotiations will be. There is interest from Europe, and also from abroad. For sure, there is a lot of interest in Romero, and the expectation of those around player and club is that something will happen in the summer. But again, it depends on the price.”

An Italian journalist has made a confident prediction regarding the future of Dejan Kulusevski at Tottenham Hotspur, as the Lilywhites fight to retain their Premier League status.

Over recent months, it has been suggested that there could be a mass exodus from Tottenham this summer if the club get relegated.

Experts have suggested that Spurs would be forced to cash in on many of their highest earners if they go down, as the club would not be able to sustain a big wage bill in the Championship.

One would expect plenty of top clubs to be circling over Tottenham’s star players, eyeing possible bargain deals for the summer, but one attacker has now been backed to remain in N17.

Dejan Kulusevski is expected to stay at Tottenham even if they get relegated

Kulusevski has not kicked a ball yet this season, with the attacking midfielder having been out of action with a knee injury since last May.

Gianluca Di Marzio believes that the Swede will remain at N17 even if Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in the Championship, revealing that Roberto De Zerbi is a big fan of the former Juventus star.

Di Marzio told Bettingsidor.se (as relayed by Football.London): “I definitely think Kulusevski will stay at Tottenham, even if they get relegated. He is a good example for other players and Roberto De Zerbi likes him.

“He has the right mentality, so I think Kulusevski can be one of the most important players for their project, regardless if they are in the Premier League or the Championship. De Zerbi will really try to keep him. He loves players like him who have a strong identity and personality. He will definitely try to keep him.”

Kulusevski has set a big summer objective

The Sweden international’s rehabilitation has not progressed as quickly as Spurs would have wanted, and there has been no clear update on his expected return date.

Alasdair Gold explained last month that Tottenham are waiting for the pain in Kulusevski’s knee to subside before stepping up his rehabilitation.

Tottenham Hotspur have just found out their rumoured pursuit of Alex Scott got a lot harder following a big update on the Bournemouth midfielder’s future.

Spurs fans have had a keen eye on the 22-year-old’s development at the Vitality Stadium, given that the youngster has never hidden his affection for the Lilywhites.

Just last week, Scott admitted that it felt extra special to score against Arsenal, given that he grew up supporting Tottenham.

It has been widely reported that Spurs have been considering a move to bring the Cherries star to N17, but their pursuit has just got a lot harder.

Chelsea pushing ahead with a move for Tottenham target Alex Scott

The Independent have now revealed that Chelsea have entered the race to land the young midfielder ahead of the summer window.

The report claims that the Blues want to make changes to their midfield department in the summer, and their decision-makers are keen on bringing Scott through the door.

It is said that the West London club have now ‘accelerated’ their interest in the Cherries star and have so far shown the ‘firmest interest’ in his services.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That presents a problem to Tottenham, who may be hoping that the youngster’s soft spot for the club would give them an advantage over their London rivals in the transfer race.

How much do Spurs have to pay to land Scott this summer?

The Independent claim that Andoni Iraola’s men want over £50m for Scott, which is double the £25m they paid to sign him from Bristol City back in 2023.

In fact, it is asserted that there is potential for the fee to be even higher this summer if more clubs enter the race for the England international.
