Spurs Web

A Tottenham man, who has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer, has reacted very emotionally after winning the Europa League and he sent a big hint about his future.

The host of injuries Tottenham Hotspur have had and the various setbacks they have suffered over the course of the campaign have made the Europa League success even sweeter.

One could see from the celebrations since last Wednesday just what this victory means to the current Spurs squad, who have had to endure intense criticism for much of the season.

Arguably, no player has endured as difficult a time as Richarlison, who once again had another injury-hit campaign, which looked in danger of fizzling out, but the forward managed to recover for the final run-in and delivered crucial performances in the semifinals and the finals.

Richarlison opens up on injury struggles and Tottenham trophy success

Richarlison has now opened up on the dark moments he was going through earlier this season when he was trying to recover from one injury setback after another.

The former Everton man confessed that at times, it was difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and thanked his teammates, the staff and the fans for sticking by him.

Some reports over recent days have suggested that Richarlison is expected to leave Spurs this summer, but the striker has now admitted that he wants to stay and win more trophies at N17.

Richarlison’s Instagram post reads: “When this season started, all I wanted was to be healthy to help my team have a better year. I knew it would be important to me mentally and also to finally repay somehow the love I’ve received these past few years from Spurs fans and all those who cheer me on.

“Nobody said it would be easy, but they also didn’t imagine it would be this hard. There were days and nights of much anxiety, treatments, pain and a martyr that seemed to have no end. But there was! And it was when I returned to Brazil, for a week, in February, after another injury, that things started to change.”

The Tottenham star continued: “Being around mine in those days changed a lot for me. Had me feeling like old ‘Charlin, the kid who just wanted to play ball. Being in the field has always been therapeutic for me, even before I discovered the power of therapy. It’s my best medicine and the one that cures almost all my problems.

“And it was like that, playing ball without fear, without fear until my legs could no longer take fatigue and cramping that I left the field on Wednesday. With a trophy in hands, heart full of joy and with my team, so discredited during the season, champion!

“Thank you to everyone who has been by my side and been part of this very special moment, always believing and encouraging me even in the most difficult moments. Thank you to Tottenham – management, players, technical committee, staff – and my whole staff – for making it happen together! And we’re going for more!”

Is Richarlison likely to leave Spurs this summer?

A couple of weeks ago, Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte claimed that Richarlison wants to stay at Tottenham as he feels that would give him the best chance of getting into the Selecao squad for next year’s World Cup.

However, just a few days ago, TRB Football asserted that Richarlison remains undecided on his future as the summer transfer window approaches.

The outlet explained that the striker is currently assessing his options and seeks more consistent game time and a clearer role heading into the 2025/26 campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur now face an uphill battle to land one of their rumoured top summer targets, Jonathan David, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that one European club have made significant advances in landing the striker.

Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that Jonathan David has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over the past few months.

The striker is available on a free transfer as his contract with Lille has now run out, and Spurs are expected to face a lot of competition as many clubs across Europe have asked for information about David.

A little over a week ago, it emerged that Antonio Conte wants to hand Tottenham a blow by beating them to David’s signature, and a fresh report has now emerged suggesting that Napoli have made significant progress in their efforts to land the 24-year-old.

Napoli in advanced talks to beat Tottenham to Jonathan David

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to provide an update on Napoli’s pursuit of the Canadian international.

The transfer market experts reveal that fresh from their Scudetto win, Conte’s men are wasting no time in putting together a package to sign David.

Romano states that discussions are now at an advanced stage, with the details regarding the release clause yet to be ironed out by the Serie A giants and the Lille star’s representatives.

The journalist adds that next week could be a defining moment in the transfer stage, with David’s entourage set for a fresh round of talks with Napoli.

What steps have Spurs taken in their pursuit of David?

Back in March, it was reported that Tottenham held concrete negotiations with Jonathan David regarding a switch to N17.

However, those rumours have gone quiet over recent weeks, with Tottenham Hotspur no longer appearing to be the front-runners in the race for the centre-forward.

Tottenham Hotspur will have a chance to win another European trophy in three months and there are some good omens for the North London club ahead of the UEFA Super Cup clash in Italy later this summer.

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans are still basking in the glory of the club’s Europa League win, with Ange Postecoglou and his players creating history in Bilbao by securing the club’s first European trophy in 41 years.

The competition also brings with it the added reward of direct passage into the group stages of the Champions League, and Tottenham’s coffers will be boosted significantly as a result.

However, the reward for the win does not end there as it also offers the Lilywhites a chance to win another prestigious trophy in just a few months: the UEFA Super Cup.

UEFA Super Cup will be played in Tottenham man’s hometown

Tottenham will take on the winners of the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan in the UEFA Super Cup, which is contested by the winners of the Europa League and the Champions League.

This is the first time that Tottenham qualified for the Super Cup in their history, as the winners of the Europa League did not get a place in the final when the Lilywhites won the competition the previous two times.

This time, it has been announced that the final will take place on Wednesday, 13, in Udine, which is Guglielmo Vicario’s hometown.

The Tottenham goalkeeper will be delighted to return to the Stadio Friuli for this huge game, having also made his international debut for Italy in the same stadium in front of his local fans last year.

Record of English clubs in Super Cup bodes well for Tottenham

That is not the only good omen that Tottenham have ahead of the final, as the Lilywhites can also take heart from the impressive record that Premier League clubs have in the showpiece clash.

Tottenham are the eighth English team to qualify for the Super Cup and seven of them have gone on to win the competition, namely Liverpool, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest.

Interestingly, the two Champions League finalists, PSG and Inter, have both played in the Super Cup once before, but neither club managed to win the competition.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to flex their muscle in the summer transfer window after they secured the Champions League qualification, with the North London club set to turn their attention to three of the best talents in Europe.

Tottenham were not in a strong financial position heading into the summer, and it was widely reported that Spurs would have to sell before they buy in the transfer window.

However, that has changed following the club’s qualification for the Champions League, with Tottenham’s coffers set to be boosted by around £80m to £90m.

Ange Postecoglou has told Daniel Levy that Spurs need to sign players with Champions League experience, and a new report indicates that the Australian may get his wish.

Tottenham want to sign three budding superstars this summer

According to Fichajes, Tottenham are ready to make a huge investment into their squad as they seek major reinforcements ahead of their return to the Champions League.

It is revealed that Spurs have already started working on signings that can improve the quality of their starting eleven.

One of the first players they are expected to turn to is Johnny Cardoso, who they have a €25m (£21m) option to buy this summer, but the Real Betis man would need to greenlight the move.

Fichajes claim that RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is also in Tottenham’s sights after ending the campaign with 21 goals and six assists.

The outlet adds that Sesko’s Leipzig teammate Xavi Simons is also admired by the Tottenham Hotspur recruitment department, with the Netherlands international described as the North London club’s ‘dream signing’.

While the attacking midfielder is expected to be expensive, priced at around €80m (£67.1m), Spurs believe that they can convince the player about a transfer, with the 22-year-old said to be keen on trying his luck in the Premier League.

Tottenham will face heavy competition for these players

This report will excite Spurs fans as these are the sort of ambitious moves the fans have been crying out for from the club.

However, none of these three players will be easy to get as they will be on the radar of many top clubs around Europe.

Ange Postecoglou is being linked with a Tottenham Hotspur exit, but his future could be directly linked to one of his most important Europa League winners.

Reports from Spain over recent days have claimed that Atletico will push ahead with a move for Romero, undeterred by Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.

The centre-back has just two years left on his contract, and it was reported earlier in the season that Romero had rejected advances from Spurs regarding a new deal.

One would expect the Lilywhites to try again to initiate talks with the defender after the club’s Europa League triumph, and Ange Postecoglou warned Daniel Levy that Romero is irreplaceable.

Tottenham could face a difficult Cristian Romero decision

The Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick points out that Spurs will be in a tricky spot if their vice-captain refuses to sign an extension.

The Lilywhites will then have to decide whether to allow the centre-back to enter into the final two years of his deal and if they could afford to turn down a big-money offer for him this summer.

The journalist says that Tottenham’s return to the Champions League could be a factor in determining the Argentine’s thinking.

Kilpatrick adds that Postecoglou’s future could also impact Romero’s decision as the pair share a very close relationship.

Tottenham must consider Romero in Ange Postecoglou decision

Over the last few days, various outlets have claimed that Daniel Levy is yet to make a decision on Postecoglou’s future as he continues to consider his options.

If the club’s hierarchy feel that the chances of keeping Romero may improve if Postecoglou stays, that may be a factor they take into account while deciding on the Australian’s future.

However, that may not be a key determining factor in the decision, as Levy and the Spurs top brass might be confident that they can make an exciting managerial appointment, which can convince the likes of Romero of the club’s ambition.

A new report has now shed light on what Ange Postecoglou expects Tottenham to do regarding his future and what he had told Daniel Levy about his job.

The Tottenham head coach is now on a well-earned holiday after a long and difficult season which has ended historically with the club’s Europa League triumph.

Daniel Levy faces a very difficult decision on Postecoglou’s future after the Australian elevated himself to a hero status among the Spurs faithful by breaking the club’s 17-year trophy drought.

Over the past couple of days, various reports have indicated that Levy has not made a final decision on Postecoglou’s future, with the Tottenham chairman continuing to contemplate his options.

What Ange Postecoglou has told Daniel Levy about the Tottenham job

TBR Football have now claimed that Postecoglou is expecting to be sacked by the club despite guiding Spurs to their first European trophy in 41 years.

The Australian feels that his job is far from safe despite the silverware, given that Tottenham have lost 22 league games this season.

It is revealed that the 59-year-old has spoken to Levy and asked the Tottenham supremo to give him more time at the helm of the club so that he can build on the foundations that have been laid.

However, Postecoglou is said to be aware that Levy and the Spurs hierarchy have been working on potential replacements.

Postecoglou comes out fighting in final press conference of the season

Following Tottenham’s final game of the season against Brighton on Sunday, Postecoglou was bullish that he is the man to get Spurs challenging for trophies regularly.

He certainly did not mince any words, with Postecoglou also confidently asserting that Tottenham will be better in the league next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are back in the Champions League after a two-year absence and with the competition now in its new, elongated format, the Lilywhites will stand to earn a huge amount of additional revenue next season.

It had been well-documented over the last few weeks that Spurs were not in a financially healthy position heading into the summer window.

With the club’s net transfer debt standing at £279.3m, various outlets reported that Tottenham have to sell players before they can buy this summer.

That is why the Europa League win and the prize of Champions League qualification that comes with it, have proven to be a huge boost for the Lilywhites ahead of the transfer window.

How much additional revenue will Tottenham earn from the Champions League?

Liverpool University football finance lecturer Kieran Maguire has now spoken exclusively to Spurs Web about how Tottenham’s finances will be affected by their qualification for the Champions League.

He estimates that, given the new format of the competition, Spurs will turn in a gross profit of around £180m from the tournament and a net profit of around £100m, including the broadcast revenue, matchday receipts and sponsor bonuses.

Maguire said: “Tottenham Hotspur football club should make a minimum of £50 million to £60 million pounds from the broadcast deal, and that’s even if they get knocked out in the group stages, which I don’t think anybody would expect. If they get to, say, the quarter-finals of the Champions League, I think we’re looking well in excess of £100 million.

“As far as home matches are concerned, with a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, you’re going to generate £6 million a match. You’ve got a minimum of four, potentially a maximum of eight matches, so we’re probably looking at somewhere in the region of £25 million to £50 million from ticket sales.

“There’ll be sponsor bonuses as well, so when you add it all up, you could be looking at something close to £180 million of extra money coming into Spurs.

“Against that, the players will have significant bonuses in terms of clauses in their contracts for Champions League qualification. You’ll have the extra costs of hosting games and the costs of going to away fixtures in Europe as well.

“Even so, there’s no reason why Tottenham can’t be looking at an overall boost to their revenues on their profits on a net basis of £80 million to £100 million. Even if they have a mediocre season, you’re talking £50 million to £60 million.”

Maguire points out that Champions League qualification comes with challenges

However, the football finance expert pointed out that Champions League qualification also requires Tottenham to invest significantly in their squad this summer in order to be able to compete on multiple fronts.

Maguire also suggests that participation in the tournament could negatively affect Spurs’ league position, which will cost the club in terms of prize money.

He added: “You also have to acknowledge the fact that if they are playing in Europe in next season, of course, they are, they’re going to need a bigger squad and a stronger squad, so the money will have to be invested in players, and that’s going to cost in both transfer fees and wages. You’ve also got the routine of Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday fixtures, and so on, taking place each week.

Tottenham have made a decision on the future of Heung-min Son, with fresh reports revealing the club’s firm stance following their Champions League qualification.

After a decade-long stay at Tottenham Hotspur, Heung-min Son finally reached a long-standing goal of his, winning a major honour in the Lilywhite shirt of Tottenham.

The last few days have been both emotional and joyful for the Spurs captain, who has led this group of Tottenham players to silverware, ending the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy and their 41-year wait for a European title.

Son declared himself a legend of Tottenham Hotspur after the club’s Europa League win against Manchester United at the San Mames Stadium in Spain, and with the season now over, talks about his future have begun to surface.

Tottenham plan to keep Heung-min Son despite Saudi interest

Just days before the Europa League final, an interesting update on Son’s future emerged amidst interest from Saudi Arabia.

It was revealed that despite being linked with a move away from Tottenham, there is a strong possibility that Heung-min Son remains at Spurs beyond this summer.

Now, a fresh report from Football Insider has stated that Spurs are planning to keep the Tottenham captain at the club beyond the end of the season.

This update comes from Pete O’Rourke, who told Football Insider that the Lilywhites are keen on keeping the Korean at Hotspur Way. He said: “It is fair to say it has not been his best season. There is no getting away from that. Probably the reason he did not start the Europa League final was due to a lack of match fitness.

“Maybe Postecoglou was a bit worried about throwing Son into such a big game, having not played too many games since his return from injury.

“I still think he has got a role to play at Tottenham, he is the club captain and Spurs took up the option in January to extend his contract until 2026.

“With Champions League football on the menu at Tottenham next season, they will be keen to keep hold of such an experienced player.”

Spurs captain Heung-min Son eyeing redemption after tough season

Heung-min Son did have a rather subpar campaign last season, with the winger grabbing just 11 goals and 12 assists in 46 appearances for Tottenham.

While those numbers are far from the Tottenham captain’s usual heights, Son still ranked joint-second for goal involvements at Spurs last campaign – only Dominic Solanke registered more, with 24 goal contributions.

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer plans have been revealed ahead of the summer window, with the Lilywhites looking to bolster three key positions.

It indeed was a blissful end to the 24/25 season for Tottenham Hotspur, who managed to achieve their goal for the campaign – securing UEFA Champions League football, despite finishing 17th in the Premier League.

A Europa League triumph was all that the club needed, given their poor league display, where they lost 22 matches from 38 games, but that would matter little to their fans, who have now watched their club celebrate a trophy win for the first time in 17 years after they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League.

The financial reward for their recent European exploits has been laid bare, with Tottenham receiving a mouth-watering eight-figure sum from the Europa League this season.

Tottenham plan three-man summer signing strategy

With their summer transfer funds set to be bolstered alongside the lure of UEFA Champions League football, it is sure to be a busy summer at Hotspur Way.

Well, at least that is according to Football Insider’s chief correspondent Pete O’Rourke, who has now revealed the three positions Tottenham are looking to sign reinforcements for ahead of their return to the Champions League.

According to the journalist, Tottenham are expected to strengthen at centre-back, central midfield and in attack this summer.

Of course, centre-back would be a priority if Cristian Romero, who has been linked with a move to both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, departs.

He said: “A new centre-back will be a top priority for Spurs. Especially if Cristian Romero leaves.

“Another forward or wide forward is going to be something Tottenham would like to bring, as well as a new central midfielder.

“So I expect it to be a busy window for Spurs. Obviously, they can look at a different set of targets now that they have got Champions League football.”

Ange Postecoglou outlines ideal Champions League signings

The Tottenham manager has also revealed the sort of players he wants the club to sign ahead of next season.

Ange Postecoglou has revealed that he wants experienced players who have played in the UEFA Champions League before, as well as players who would be quality squad options.

He said, “Yeah, I think not just us but any club that gets into the Champions League, I think understands that. It’s the most elite competition in Europe and it’s a great demand.

“So yeah, I think every club that gets into the Champions League sees it as an opportunity to strengthen with experience is the right word, but players who have played at that level, who are going to be comfortable at that level, not players who are stepping up to that level. That’s the difference.”

Tottenham are eyeing a summer move for a Ligue 1 forward who has quietly caught their attention this season, and the interest in him may point to further changes in the attacking department.

Tottenham Hotspur could be on the lookout for a new striker this summer, particularly after the latest reports suggest that Richarlison is considering his future at Spurs.

It was reported that the Brazilian is in search of more gametime as a centre-forward, as he is eager to break into the Brazilian national team before the 2026 World Cup.

Now, new reports suggest that Tottenham have their attention on a forward who has been described as “tall, strong, technical and extremely fast.”

Tottenham in the mix to sign Evann Guessand from Nice

This report comes from Fraternité Matin, who state that Tottenham are in the mix to sign Nice forward Evann Guessand.

The 23-year-old forward, who scored 12 goals in 33 matches, is currently open to a move away from France in search of a new challenge.

For this reason, French side Nice are open to selling their top scorer, provided their €28m (£24m) asking price for Evann Guessand is met.

Spurs are one of the clubs keeping tabs on the forward, with his versatility being one of the main factors that has caught their attention, as Guessand is capable of playing across the front three.

Spurs still monitoring Evann Guessand after previous interest

This is not the first time Spurs have been linked with the young forward, as back in the winter, it was reported that Guessand was Tottenham’s alternative when they missed out on Kolo Muani and Jonathan David.

While Tottenham did not move for him then, instead opting for Mathys Tel, it appears that Guessand remains a player Spurs continue to admire and may still be looking to bring into their squad.

Whether that is achieved this summer remains to be seen, but it is definitely one to keep an eye on as the window unfolds.
