Spurs Web

Tottenham will be quietly pleased with Manchester City’s latest transfer decision, especially given the growing summer interest in one of their star performers.

With the summer transfer window now open Tottenham Hotspur fans will be expecting to be busy one, especially after it was reported that Spurs are looking to strengthen three key positions and that five new faces could be heading to Hotspur Way this summer.

While the club will be eyeing new additions, Tottenham will also be eager to keep some of their top performers this summer, as they look to build on their recent Europa League success.

Frustratingly, however, with Tottenham yet to make a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future, there are yet to be any new additions to the playing squad.

It has been reported that Daniel Levy is determined to keep star centre-back Cristian Romero at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a bid to show ambition, despite interest from Atletico Madrid.

Manchester City move for Rayan Ait-Nouri hands Tottenham transfer boost over Destiny Udogie

Of course, Cristian Romero is not the only Tottenham player to be attracting interest from Europe, as Destiny Udogie was reported to be on the radar of Manchester City.

Indeed, given the performances of the Italian full-back, particularly in the Europa League last season, Tottenham would not want to lose the 22-year-old this summer.

In fact, following interest from Manchester City two months ago, it was reported that Tottenham were set to reject any offer from the Manchester club.

Now, a recent development from Pep Guardiola’s side’s transfer dealings leaves Spurs with one less thing to worry about after it was reported that Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri after initial talks have taken place.

This would mean Destiny Udogie, who played 36 matches in all competitions for Spurs, is expected to remain at Hotspur Way this summer, unless there is new interest from elsewhere later this transfer window.

Spurs looking to protect core players like Destiny Udogie

With Tottenham still yet to confirm their managerial situation, the club must retain its best players before a new manager arrives and decides on which players to keep and which to let go.

It was reported back in April that Spurs were hell-bent on keeping Udogie because they believe he is a great tactical fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system.

Chelsea’s stance on rumoured Tottenham Hotspur target Noni Madueke has come to light after the Blues made progress in their efforts to sign another exciting young English winger.

Madueke came through the Tottenham academy, but it was at PSV Eindhoven where he rose to prominence after swapping his boyhood club for the Dutch side in search of regular game time.

The wide-forward returned to England two years ago, signing for Chelsea, and he posted decent numbers for Enzo Maresca’s side in 2024-25, finishing the campaign with 11 goals and five assists across all competitions as the Blues secured Champions League qualification.

It has been reported over recent months that Spurs are plotting a surprise move to re-sign Madueke this summer, and the Lilywhites have now received some good news regarding the 23-year-old.

Chelsea open to selling Noni Madueke after transfer development

Football Insider have now revealed that the Blues are ready to listen to offers for Madueke if they complete the signing of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea have made contact over a deal for Gittens and with the winger having a £51m release clause in his current contract, they are now expected to accelerate their efforts to land him.

Tottenham’s Premier League rivals want to clinch a deal for the Dortmund man before the Club World Cup gets underway next month, and should they manage to do so, they will listen to offers for the Tottenham target.

The report says that the belief at Stamford Bridge is that Madueke’s development has stalled and the Englishman is thus edging closer to a departure from the club.

Tottenham could face Madueke competition this summer

Football Insider claim, according to their sources, Tottenham are leading the race to sign the England international this summer.

However, they could face competition from Newcastle United, with Eddie Howe said to be a big fan of Madueke.

In fact, it is revealed that the Magpies failed with a move for the wide-forward last summer and with the right-wing spot still a worry for the club, they could try their luck again in the current transfer window.

Just as Tottenham fans are sweating over the future of Mikey Moore amid reports of transfer interest in the teenager, Ben Jacobs has now assuaged the fears of the supporters by revealing the winger’s stance on his future.

While the Tottenham supporters may have not seen as much of Mikey Moore in the second half of the campaign as they would have wanted, there is little doubt at Hotspur Way that the 17-year-old is a generational talent.

There is excitement about what he can achieve next season, but over recent weeks, some outlets have suggested that Moore has spoken to Borussia Dortmund over a summer transfer.

That coupled with news that Moore has changed his representation to Unique Sports Group left Spurs supporters nervous, but the North London club are not expected to let their young starlet go without a fight.

Last week, it was reported that Tottenham had begun talks with Moore over a new contract as the Lilywhites try hard to ward off the interest in their academy graduate.

Jacobs has now suggested that Spurs are in no real danger of losing the winger and the Lilywhites have made significant progress in their efforts to tie him down to a new contract.

The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Mikey Moore will stay and extend, and that’s my understanding. I don’t know exactly when it’s going to be done, but talks have been very positive and can be referred to as advanced.

“And obviously we know Tottenham rate Mikey Moore extremely highly, so that one should be very smooth. I don’t think the player would be looking elsewhere anyway, very happy at Tottenham, regardless of the Ange situation.”

Senior Tottenham players waiting on the club’s decision on Ange Postecoglou

While the Tottenham managerial situation might not be significant in dictating Moore’s future as per this update by Jacobs, that is not the case with other senior members of the squad.

It has been reported over recent days that Cristian Romero will do everything in his power to leave Tottenham if Postecoglou is sacked.

Brentford are now making contingency plans amidst fears that Tottenham Hotspur may swoop for their head coach Thomas Frank.

While Tottenham are yet to announce a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future, reports over recent weeks indicate that the search is already underway in N17 for his replacement.

It has been claimed that Spurs have now held direct talks with Thomas Frank over a move from Brentford to North London.

It has been alleged that Frank is keen on a switch to Tottenham, with the Dane ready to test himself at a ‘big six’ club after seven years at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford identify Thomas Frank’s replacement

Football Insider have claimed the Bees are aware of Tottenham’s interest in their head coach and there are growing fears at the club that the Lilywhites will be able to lure the 51-year-old.

As a result, the West London club are now putting contingency plans in place and are laying the groundwork to quickly replace Thomas Frank if Spurs do get their man.

Brentford have reportedly set their sights on appointing former Spurs academy coach Kieran McKenna as Dane’s potential replacement.

McKenna is rated highly by the Bees recruitment team and despite the Englishman overseeing Ipswich Town’s relegation from the Premier League after just one season, they believe he would be the ‘ideal’ person to take over from Frank should he depart.

Why Tottenham are keen on appointing Frank

It was reported a few days ago that the Tottenham hierarchy are impressed by Frank’s ability to develop players, which is why he is their top choice.

However, it has also emerged that there are some concerns at Spurs about Frank and the other candidates to replace Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur will once again play in the Champions League during the 2025/26 season and their kits will feature a slight tweak compared to their opponents in the competition

On Tuesday, Tottenham Hotspur officially launched their new 2025/26 home kit, unveiled through a video fronted by club legend Ledley King, who led supporters in a heartfelt vow of allegiance to their beloved team.

Reactions to the Tottenham home kit have been mixed across the fanbase, with some labelling it as “clean” and “class”, while others have expressed their reservations over the design.

Spurs are set to debut the new kit in their pre-season friendly against Arsenal in Hong Kong, marking the first ever north London derby to be played outside England – a significant milestone for both clubs and a bold marketing step for the Premier League.

Tottenham’s Champions League badge will be different

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that supporters will now be able to personalise their new home shirts with a unique sleeve badge, commemorating the club’s recent European success.

Following their triumph in last season’s UEFA Europa League, Spurs will compete in the UEFA Champions League next campaign, and their European shirts will feature a modified sleeve badge honouring their win.

Rather than the standard Champions League logo, Tottenham’s European shirts will carry a special badge, encircled with the words “UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE 2025 WINNERS”, making it a collector’s item for many fans, who can also customise their shirts with the unique badge.

To include the new badge on the shirt, supporters must personalise their kit with a name and number via the ‘Club’ option when purchasing through official channels.

Once selected, the option to add the badge appears for an additional £10, which also includes the UEFA Foundation’s 10-year anniversary badge, adding a further layer of distinction to the kit.

The 2025/26 home strip is currently available exclusively via Tottenham’s official shop and online store, before a wider retail release. The standard shirt is priced at £85, while the elite version comes in at £125.

One Premier League boss is moving ahead of the pack to emerge as Tottenham Hotspur’s clear number-one managerial target to replace Ange Postecoglou, whose future at the club appears to be hanging by a thread.

Tottenham fans are frustrated at the lack of communication from the club about the managerial situation, but if reports are to be believed, it would appear that Postecoglou is set to depart Tottenham despite delivering the Europa League title.

It has been claimed over recent days that Spurs are eyeing moves for the likes of Thomas Frank, Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner.

A few days ago, Foot Mercato claimed that Tottenham had contacted Frank to explore his interest in the job and it now appears that the Belgian’s prospects of becoming the next Spurs boss are improving.

Why Thomas Frank is emerging as the clear top target for Spurs

Football Insider have now claimed Thomas Frank is emerging as the clear leading contender to replace Postecoglou even though Spurs also explored moves for the likes of Silva and Iraola.

The Lilywhites are said to be ‘increasingly convinced’ of the credentials of the Danish coach, who has not only got Brentford promoted to the top-flight but has also established them as a force in the Premier League over his seven years at the club.

His proven track record in the Premier League and his ability to develop players appeal to the Tottenham hierarchy, as does his staying power, which he has demonstrated by the kind of project he has undertaken with the Bees.

What Frank is thinking about Tottenham’s approach

Just a few days ago, it emerged that the Brentford boss has shown an interest in the Spurs project after holding initial talks with the Lilywhites.

It was alleged that Frank believes he is ready to take the step up to a club like Tottenham as he wants to prove himself at a ‘big-six’ club.

The update also explained that the 51-year-old fears the Bees will lose their best players again this summer and as a result, believes the time is right to take up a different challenge.

It has been claimed that some of the Tottenham Hotspur players held a meeting with Ange Postecoglou to demand that he adopt a more pragmatic style of play in the latter part of the 2024/25 campaign.

Ange Postecoglou has garnered plenty of praise for tweaking his approach in the latter stages of the Europa League campaign.

The Australian decided to play on the counter-attack away at Eintracht Frankfurt, Bodo/Glimt, and in the final against Manchester United, and the approach had the desired result, with Tottenham keeping a clean sheet in all three matches to lift the trophy.

However, it has now been claimed by one journalist that the decision was not entirely his own doing.

Tottenham players held mid-season meeting with Ange Postecoglou

ESPN’s James Olley has now revealed that the tactical change only came about after some senior Tottenham first-team squad players met with Postecoglou to ask him to reach a compromise on their opponents.

The journalist claimed that several senior players in the squad made it clear to the Australian that they needed to adapt to the opposition, with the Spurs boss deciding to compromise on some of his principles.

Olly said on ESPN FC: “My understanding is that the players were not entirely supportive of Ange Postecoglou’s approach in the second half of the season.

“I believe a group of them went to see him and sort of said: ‘Look, we need to do more work on the opposition, we need to be more versatile.’ That’s one of the reasons why you saw a more pragmatic approach in Europe, where there was a competition where they actually could win something.

“I think there was a compromise there between what Ange Postecoglou wanted to do, how he wanted to play – ‘We are who we are, mate. We go and play how we want to play wherever we are’ – and the players sort of saying: ‘Well, that’s all well and good, but we’ve got five, six, seven, eight players out injured, we’re not actually the best team in the league like you’ve had at Celtic, in Japan in your career. We need to be more balanced in our approach.”

Tottenham have a difficult decision to make over Postecoglou

There has been a debate raging over the last few weeks regarding whether the Australian has done enough to keep his job.

While the likes of Robbie Keane believe Postecoglou deserves a third season, others such as Jamie O’Hara insist Tottenham should sack the Australian.

Olley has now revealed that despite Tottenham’s heroics in Europe, the club’s top brass cannot overlook the team’s disastrous Premier League campaign.

The journalist added: “The conversations I’ve had with some of the senior figures at the club can’t get past 22 league defeats, even though they have won their first trophy in 17 years. They just cannot get past that number and how badly that has affected the squad.”

Tottenham Hotspur have been long-time admirers of Swedish starlet Roony Bardghji and a huge development regarding his future at Copenhagen has potentially handed the Lilywhites a golden chance to sign the youngster this summer.

Bardghji was first mooted as a target for Tottenham 16 months ago but the Swedish youngster has been out of action with an ACL injury for the best part of the last 12 months.

He only returned to action recently and it was reported back in April that Bardghji’s return had piqued Tottenham’s interest ahead of the summer window.

There has now been a big development regarding the player’s future that ensures that he will not remain in Copenhagen for too long, and the Lilywhites would have taken note of the situation.

FC Copenhagen fail to tie down Roony Bardghji to a new contract

Danish news outlet Bold claim Copenhagen’s attempts to tie down the 19-year-old to a new deal have fallen through, with the youngster making it clear that he will not commit his future to the club.

Bardghi’s current deal with the Danish clubs runs out in January of 2026, which means that Tottenham and the winger’s other suitors will be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the youngster from July 1.

It is reported that the Sweden Under-21 international might have already played his last game for Copenhagen.

Following Bardghi’s contract decision, it is suggested that his employers may look to cash in on the teenager during the current window for a cut-price fee.

How much would Tottenham have to pay for Bardghji this summer

It was revealed by GiveMeSport last week that Tottenham could land Bardghji for just £10m this summer, due to his contract situation.

The report claimed that the modest fee makes him an attractive option for the Lilywhites, who have been a fan of the Swede for a long time.

The decision that Spurs have to make is whether to pay around £10m for him this summer or risk waiting until January to sign him on a free, even though there is likely to be a lot more competition for his services in the next transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt another blow in their pursuit of Leroy Sane, with the Bayern Munich winger now said to have no interest in making the move to the club.

It was said that Tottenham were offered the chance to sign Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich earlier last week, after the former Manchester City man failed to reach an agreement with the German champions following talks over a contract extension.

Spurs were said to be confident of landing Sane this summer, when it was revealed that the winger was keen on a move to north London, making Tottenham an ideal option.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reported to have a good relationship with Sane’s agent, further boosting Spurs’ chances of securing a deal for the 29-year-old.

Leroy Sane is not interested in joining Tottenham

Bayern Munich were reported to have held fresh talks with Sane earlier this week, but still, no agreement has been reached between the pair.

Now, fresh reports from Bild have handed Tottenham a blow, after it was been revealed that Leroy Sane is not interested in a move to Tottenham.

It was reported that Arsenal have also shown interest in the former Manchester City man, and now it is being claimed that the Emirates Stadium is the German international’s preferred destination in England.

Bild’s report also states that the most concrete offers for Sane at this time are from Saudi Arabia and Galatasaray, with the winger said to have intensively considered a potential move to the Turkish side.

Spurs must turn to alternatives with Leroy Sane move unlikely

The chances of Sane remaining in Munich are still very much on the cards, as it has been claimed that the German international would ideally prefer to stay at Bayern, but he is still unwilling to accept the offer on the table.

As for Bayern, the door is still open for Sane to extend his stay, and as long as he does not receive a better offer, he can still sign an extension.

Tottenham Hotspur may have lifted a European trophy last season, but one supercomputer is not convinced by the club’s direction under Ange Postecoglou, predicting yet another disappointing Premier League campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur endured the worst league season in the club’s history last term, losing 22 matches and finishing just one place above the relegation zone in 17th.

Despite that dreadful campaign, Ange Postecoglou’s side ended the 2024/25 season on a high by winning their first major trophy in 17 years, overcoming Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League final.

That victory has secured Tottenham’s return to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2022/23 season, when they were eliminated in the round of 16.

Supercomputer predicts 15th-place finish for Tottenham

With the league season now concluded, early projections for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign have started rolling in – and Tottenham fans might want to look away.

According to BettingLounge’s supercomputer predictions, Spurs are tipped to endure another tough domestic campaign, with Ange Postecoglou’s side predicted to finish in 15th place – just three points above the drop zone.

The algorithm expects Tottenham to lose 17 matches and collect only 40 points over the course of the season, suggesting another tense relegation battle could be on the cards.
