Spurs Web

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to fight to keep Cristian Romero off Atletico Madrid’s clutches this summer with the Lilywhites are hoping that two crucial factors can help them persuade the defender to remain at the club.

While some Spanish outlets had previously made it seem like a switch to Atletico Madrid is a foregone conclusion for Cristian Romero, the situation appears to have changed over the last few days.

It has emerged that Daniel Levy is fighting hard to keep the Spurs vice-captain at the club despite Atletico’s persistent efforts.

In fact, some publications have even suggested that Levy is refusing to negotiate with Atletico over Romero for the time being, with the La Liga club’s hopes of landing the centre-back fading away as a result.

Tottenham hope two factors could persuade Cristian Romero to stay

According to report by Mundo Deportivo, Spurs are now ‘fighting’ Atletico’s interest and have not given up hope of keeping the 27-year-old at the club.

This is despite the centre-back wanting a change of scenery and having a desire to complete a move to the Spanish capital.

Tottenham are hoping that two ‘weapons’ help convince Romero to stay, one of them being that the centre-back can once again play Champions League football at the club next season.

The other is that the Lilywhites are ready to offer Romero a long-term contract extension with a significant salary increase in the hope that he can be persuaded to sign on the dotted line.

Tottenham’s contingency plan for Romero

Mundo Deportivo claim that if Romero does not agree to a new deal, Spurs will cash in on the centre-back this summer.

However, with the former Juventus man having two years left on his contract, the North Londoners will want more than €50m (£42.1m) for the player.

Tottenham Hotspur have officially released the club’s new home kit ahead of the 2025/26 season.

After numerous leaks on social media over the course of the past few months, Tottenham Hotspur’s new 2025/26 home kit has been officially unveiled.

The new home kit went on sale today for the first time and Tottenham will be expected to wear it for the first time in pre-season.

Currently, it looks as if the first time the Tottenham first team will get the opportunity to play in the fresh design will be when they take part North London derby friendly against Arsenal on July 31st in Hong Kong.

On Monday, Spurs legend Ledley King teased the release with a video on the club’s social media channels which carried the slogan ‘take a vow’.

What does Tottenham’s 2025/26 home kit look like

The new 25/26 home kit is predominantly white with light grey and dark blue partly coloured sleeves, compared to the 24/25 design, which went for a solid navy sleeve and fine white stripes.

Once again strip is made by Nike as Tottenham continue their lengthy partnership with the American sportswear giants Nike, which is set to run until 2033.

AIA are also continuing their association as the main shirt sponsor since 2014, and Kraken’s multi-year sleeve sponsorship sees the crypto platform provider once again appear.

Currently, the new kit is only available for purchase at the official club shop and online store as part of an exclusivity period before its released to wider retail.

The standard edition costs £85, while the elite version is priced at £125.

When does the new Spurs away and third kits launch?

No official date has been confirmed for either as of yet. Last year, Tottenham announced the release of the away kit on June 24th, while the third strip followed on August 27th.

The most important thing is that we see the new kits worn in the UEFA Champions League next season.

One Tottenham player who struggled to make an impact once again last season is wanted by his former club this summer, and a fresh update has suggested they have a big advantage as the race for his signature intensifies.

Alejo Veliz joined Tottenham in a £13m deal from Rosario Central in August 2023, however, the centre-forward has not been able to make a breakthrough during his time in European football as of yet.

The forward has had two challenging loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol, struggling to get regular game time at both clubs, and it has been suggested over recent weeks that Veliz could return to Argentina this summer.

Last week, it emerged that Rosario Central are plotting a move to re-sign Veliz, and a fresh update has now explained the state of play in the race for the 21-year-old.

Alejo Veliz is not short of options this summer

Journalist Cristian Camino has now told TNT Sports Argentina (as relayed by Soy del Millo): “Alejo Véliz wants to join this super Rosario Central that is being built.”

Soy del Millo then go into depth about the transfer race, revealing that River Plate and Boca Juniors have also joined Rosario Central in the pursuit of the Tottenham man.

Both Boca and River are thought to be after a number nine and have already contacted Veliz to enquire about a summer move.

All three clubs believe that he is not wanted by Tottenham and that they will be happy to cut their losses this summer if they receive the right transfer fee.

Rosaria Central have a big advantage in the race for Veliz

Soy del Millo suggest that Rosario Central have an advantage over both Boca and River in the race to land the Spurs youngster.

That is not only because of the emotional connection Veliz has with the club, having come through their academy, but also because of the team they are building.

Rosaria Central have just acquired the services of Angel Di Maria and they are building a ‘team full of stars’ so that they can ‘seriously compete’ for titles, with the Tottenham man thus keen on a return.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has spoken after Ryan Mason completed his exit from the club to take over as the new manager of West Bromwich Albion.

The summer window is set to be a busy one for Tottenham Hotspur, who are preparing for a major rebuild both on the field and behind the scenes.

The future of manager Ange Postecoglou remains uncertain, as the Tottenham hierarchy is yet to decide whether to stick with the Australian, who ended their 17-year wait for silverware, or to part ways after a dismal Premier League campaign that saw him lead the Lilywhites to a 17th-place finish.

While the verdict on Postecoglou’s future continues to hang in the balance, one man in the Tottenham dugout has already headed for the exit.

Ryan Mason leaves Tottenham for West Bromwich Albion job

Following reports linking Ryan Mason with a move to Championship side West Bromwich Albion, the Tottenham assistant coach has now completed the switch.

The 33-year-old has now sealed his move to become head coach of the Championship outfit, who finished ninth last season, missing out on the play-offs.

This will be Mason’s first full-time role as a first-team manager, although he has served as an interim caretaker boss on 13 occasions at Tottenham, stepping in after the departures of both Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy paid tribute to Mason in a statement on the club’s official site: “Ryan has been an integral part of Tottenham Hotspur for a number of years, both as a player and a coach.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Ryan for all his dedication and hard work over the years, and we wish him every success for the future.”

Spurs fans back Ryan Mason after leaving the club

The 33-year-old has been a loyal servant to Tottenham Hotspur, racking up 70 appearances during his playing days before a horrific head injury at Hull City forced him into early retirement.

The Tottenham fans have wished Mason well in his new managerial venture, with many pleased to see him handed the opportunity to lead a club in his own right.

Indeed, Mason will now hope to make his mark in the dugout, as he takes on the challenge of guiding the Baggies back to the Premier League.

Ryan Mason has officially departed Tottenham Hotspur, with a Championship club confirming him as their new head coach ahead of the 2025-26 season.

There are wholesale changes expected at Tottenham this summer, including but not restricted to just the coaching staff.

Ange Postecoglou is still waiting for a decision from Daniel Levy about his future, but the Australian is not the first member of the Tottenham first-team coaching staff to depart.

Ryan Mason, who was appointed as Ange Postecoglou’s assistant coach as soon as the 59-year-old arrived at Hotspur Way in 2023, and has served as interim head coach of the Lilywhites twice before that, has now left the North London club to take up his first managerial role.

Earlier on Monday, another change was made with the news that Donna-Marie Cullen was stepping down from the Tottenham board after twenty years.

Ryan Mason confirmed as West Brom’s new head coach

It was no secret over recent days that Mason was leading the race to become West Bromwich Albion’s new head coach, and the 33-year-old has now officially accepted the role with his Tottenham contract set to expire at the end of June.

Mason’s last involvement for Tottenham came in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton on the final day of the Premier League campaign, which came days after the Europa League final win against Manchester United.

Tottenham have now announced the exit of the former midfielder as the permanent successor to Tony Mowbray, who was let go in mid-April with Mason having signed a three-year deal at The Hawthorns.

A statement on the official Spurs site read: “We can announce that Ryan Mason, our Assistant Coach, has left the Club to take up the role of Head Coach at West Bromwich Albion.”

The Baggies finished in ninth place in the Championship in the 2024-25 season, just six points off a playoff spot, and Mason will be tasked with the challenge of securing promotion back to he Premier League.

Smart decision by Mason as he eyes Tottenham head coach role

Mason had gone as far as he could at Tottenham and it was always going to be impossible for him to be considered for the head coach role unless he proved himself elsewhere.

The 33-year-old has been very patient in waiting for the right opportunity and his decision has been vindicated as he has now landed a huge job.

If Mason impresses at the Hawthorns and gets the Baggies promoted, Levy and the Spurs decision-makers will certainly stand up and take notice.

One of Ange Postecoglou’s assistants has lifted the lid on how Tottenham Hotspur finally buried the ‘Spursy’ tag once and for all, detailing the mentality shift that brought silverware back to N17.

The past few weeks at N17 will be fondly remembered by Tottenham Hotspur supporters who have watched their club lift a trophy for the first time in 17 years.

Tottenham’s victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final not only marked their first major honour in nearly two decades but also ended a four-decade wait for European silverware.

The win has now confirmed Tottenham’s return to the UEFA Champions League, a competition they last featured in during the 2022/23 season, when they were eliminated in the round of 16.

Ange Postecoglou changed Spurs mentality with belief-first approach

With Spurs finally getting over the line in a major final, the ‘Spursy’ tag and the banter era now seem to be firmly behind them, as they now have a trophy to show for their efforts.

The first-team assistant coach under Ange Postecoglou has now revealed what the Australian head coach did to banish the ‘Spursy’ mentality at Hotspur Way and what the feeling was like within the club as they had gone 17 years without silverware.

Sergio Raimundo told Record: “We started the season wanting to change this story. What we did was, and also largely due to the coach, who was spectacular at this, always have belief and we passed this belief on to the players.

“I remember saying to the players in pre-season: ‘This is the year we lift a cup, this is the year we win a title’. So, we started to generate this belief within the group, and we had that mental strength to not deviate, to remain united as a group and always together, even in the worst moments.”

Speaking on Tottenham’s Europa League journey, the assistant manager added: “I think we started very strong at AZ Alkmaar [round of 16], but even more so in Frankfurt [quarter-final].

“We have always been professionals, but from Frankfurt onwards we had a mentality. They are not philosophies, they are not principles, it is to maintain all of that, but now it is to win. In the end it is important that we play well, but it was more important for everyone and for the club to win the trophy.”

Spurs players backed Ange Postecoglou through poor league run

Tottenham did eventually get over the line thanks to the togetherness they all showed, with the Spurs players continuing to back the manager despite poor results in the Premier League.

The 40-year-old assistant manager has also revealed that he is excited to be part of the coaching staff that helped the north London club secure a long-awaited trophy.

He also shared some insight into the Europa League celebrations and the impact the recent success has had on supporters.

He added: “They did a Zoom with me live and there were about 250,000 people in the streets. It was crazy.

“And after the game against Brighton, the fans were super happy, everyone stayed on the pitch, we walked around with the trophy and you can see the impact of them being teased and having that ‘Spursy’ theme.

“It means they almost arrive but never do. Now everyone is motivated, happy, you see a lot of shirts on the street.”

After receiving a blow in their pursuit of Marc Guehi, Tottenham Hotspur may turn their attention to a fellow England international centre-back this summer.

A number of reliable sources have reported over recent weeks that the Crystal Palace man is near the top of Tottenham’s transfer wishlist.

The latest to confirm that information was Alasdair Gold, who revealed that Guehi has been a long-term target for Spurs, but suggested that the Lilywhites may have to offer him guarantees of regular starts in order to get the deal over the line.

According to various reports, Tottenham are expected to face competition from Newcastle United for Guehi, with Eddie Howe’s men expected to make a move for the England international.

Tottenham may turn attention to Jarrad Branthwaite

The Times have now provided Tottenham fans with some bad news regarding the club’s pursuit of Guehi.

It is claimed that the 24-year-old, who has one year left on his contract at Selhurst Park, is not interested in moving to N17 this summer as the Lilywhites found out when they launched a bid for him in January.

Spurs are said to be considering other defensive options, and they may turn their attention to Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite this summer.

This is not the first we have heard of the North Londoners’ interest in the Toffees man, with The Sun reporting back in March that Tottenham were set to battle Manchester United for Branthwaite.

Why this Guehi news may not necessarily be a bad thing for Spurs

It has been claimed by several outlets over recent weeks that Tottenham are eyeing Guehi as a replacement for Cristian Romero.

However, the Argentine is not certain to leave any longer, with some reports claiming over the last few days that Daniel Levy is determined to keep Romero off Atletico Madrid’s clutches.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has now named one Tottenham player as the trickiest defender he has faced in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace have enjoyed a successful season, with the club winning their first-ever major piece of silverware in its entire existence when they lifted the FA Cup.

They also managed a solid Premier League campaign, finishing 12th in the table – a performance that has put their manager, Oliver Glasner as a potential managerial replacement for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, with the Australian’s future under fire.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has also been at the heart of the Eagles’ success this season, scoring 14 Premier League goals last term, after he managed 16 in the 2023/24 season.

Jean-Philippe Mateta praises the speed of Micky van de Ven

The Palace striker has been speaking about the toughest opponents he has come up against in the League, and he has named one of Tottenham’s top performers this season “tricky” to play against.

Mateta has praised Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven’s pace and has labelled the Dutchman a very good performer. Speaking to the Premier League, he said: “As a striker, you always make the runs. But this guy always comes to take the ball, you know. He is very good!”

Indeed, van de Ven is one of the quickest defenders in the League, and last season, no player ran faster than the Dutch defender, who recorded a top speed of over 37km/h.

Micky van de Ven continues to show his importance to Spurs

Van de Ven has been a big part of Tottenham’s setup since he joined back in 2023, and in this season’s Europa League final, the 24-year-old made his biggest contribution in a Spurs shirt, after he made a heroic goal-line clearance following a Rasmus Hojlund header into an open net.

The defender’s quality is clear to see by many, but still, he has not been without his struggles, as injuries often leave him sidelined for extended periods in a season.

However, when he is fit and in the starting XI for Tottenham, he undoubtedly makes the club play much better, with his recovery pace allowing Spurs to maintain a high line and press effectively.

One experienced defender who has recently departed Tottenham Hotspur as a free agent is already in talks over sealing a move to a Champions League club ahead of the new season.

The club confirmed the departures of some players within the Tottenham first-team squad last week, with the likes of Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman heading out of the door following the conclusion of their contracts.

Another of those to have left was Sergio Reguilon, who arrived at Tottenham from Real Madrid back in 2020 and has had a difficult last couple of years, being shipped off on loan to Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Brentford with limited success.

The left-back ended his Spurs career with 73 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice and providing nine assists and it turns out that he is now on the verge of joining a Ligue 1 side.

Monaco are confident of completing Sergio Reguilon transfer

According to a report by L’Equipe, the former Tottenham man is on Monaco’s list of transfer targets as the club looks to bolster their options at left-back.

It is reported that the Ligue 1 side has already entered negotiations with the Spaniard regarding a move to the Stade Louis II, wasting no time in jumping ahead of the queue for the full-back.

Monaco believe that they will seal the deal for Reguilon, having ‘privately expressed confidence’ in the last few hours that a positive outcome will be reached in negotiations.

Reguilon could link up with a familiar face at Monaco

If Reguilon does complete a switch to Monaco, he will reunite with former Tottenham centre-back, Eric Dier.

The England international departed the Allianz Arena this summer on a high after lifting the Bundesliga title, making a free switch to the Ligue 1 side after his contract with Bayern Munich.

Alasdair Gold has claimed that one midfielder, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur over multiple transfer windows, has been at the top of the North London club’s wishlist for a long time, and the Lilywhites may have one advantage in the race to land.

A number of publications have installed Tottenham as the front-runners to sign Eberechi Eze this summer, but getting the deal over the line will be easier said than done.

Eze has also emerged as a target for Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola’s side allegedly eyeing the 26-year-old as the man to replace Kevin De Bruyne this summer.

It was even claimed last month that Spurs were ready to submit their opening offer for Eze, with the Lilywhites wanting to get a head start over the competition for the Crystal Palace star.

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now claimed that Eze has been “the most wanted player at Spurs for a while”, with the midfielder rated very highly by the decision-makers at Hotspur Way.

The journalist points out that the England international is represented by the Base Agency, who also look after many of Tottenham’s players as well as Ange Postecoglou.

Daniel Levy has close links with Base, which could help the North Londoners if they enter the negotiating table for the 26-year-old this summer.

However, Gold adds that the transfer ultimately depends on Palace and whether they want to cash in on their star man, who has two years left on his contract.

While that gives the Eagles some leeway in the negotiations, it also means that this is the last window where they can ask for a huge figure for the midfielder.

Eze is open to a summer transfer away from Crystal Palace

Some might have wondered if Palace’s historic FA Cup, which was the first trophy in the club’s history, would have persuaded the attacking midfielder to stay at Selhurst Park.

However, it was reported by Football Insider late last month that the FA Cup win will have no bearing on Eze’s future, with the player still open to a move away from the South London club this summer.

The same outlet revealed that Tottenham are expected to face competition from Manchester United and Manchester City for Eze.
