Tottenham academy graduate Will Lankshear is the recipient of two end-of-season awards at Oxford United after his outstanding performances on loan this term.

Many of Tottenham’s young guns are impressing out on loan this season, and there is a lot of excitement among Spurs fans about two teenagers, in particular.

Mikey Moore has shown why many at Hotspur Way consider him a generational talent, while centre-back Luka Vuskovic has demonstrated that he could be ready to step into the Premier League cauldron.

However, another 21-year-old has quietly been having just as impressive a season as Moore and Vuskovic, and he has now been honoured for his performances.

Tottenham youngster Will Lankshear picks up two prestigious Oxford United awards

After a challenging start to his loan spell at Oxford United, Will Lankshear has been on fire in front of goal for the last few months.

The Tottenham youngster netted a brilliant brace in the win over Sheffield Wednesday over the weekend, taking his tally to 12 goals this term, 11 of which have come in the Championship.

Lankshear has now been voted Oxford’s Young Player of the Year as well as the club’s Golden Boot for finishing as their top scorer.

Lankshear could be fast tracked into Spurs team if they get relegated

Reports indicate that EFL clubs are queuing up to land Lankshear this summer following his breakthrough season at the Kassam Stadium.

However, with Tottenham’s Premier League status still not assured next season, the Lilywhites may have other plans for the centre-forward.

A new report has revealed when Tottenham’s trip to Stamford Bridge is set to be scheduled after the fixture had to be moved due to the Blues’ progression to the FA Cup final.

Spurs were originally scheduled to play Chelsea in their penultimate game of the season on May 17, with the result likely to be crucial in the Lilywhites’ quest to stay up.

However, Tottenham’s trip to West London for the London derby is set to be rescheduled as the FA Cup final will be played on 16 May.

The Blues overcame Leeds in the semifinal over the weekend and will take on Manchester City in the showpiece final at Wembley.

Tottenham could play Chelsea three days after their FA Cup final

The Mirror have now revealed that the Premier League will announce the dates and kick-off times for the fixtures involving Chelsea and Man City today.

They claim that the London derby at Stamford Bridge is expected to be scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, with kick-off set to be at 8:15 pm.

If that proves correct, it would mean Tottenham will have a full week to prepare for the big clash against their rivals, while Chelsea will have just three days between the FA Cup final and the derby.

Tottenham would have ideally wanted the game to be scheduled in the week before Chelsea’s FA Cup final rather than the week after.

That would have meant that the Blues had half an eye on the final and potentially rested players for the clash against Spurs.

If May 19 is announced as the date for the derby, the Lilywhites would be hoping that Chelsea win the FA Cup, and their players are partying in the lead-up to the clash against Tottenham.

Amid ongoing rumours that Randal Kolo Muani has picked up another injury at Tottenham, journalists Matt Law and Alasdair Gold have now provided an update on the Frenchman.

Xavi Simons has now been ruled out for the rest of 2026 after suffering an ACL tear in Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday.

The Dutchman’s injury is the latest blow to Roberto De Zerbi after Mohammed Kudus suffered a setback in his recovery and captain Cristian Romero picked up an injury that may rule him out for the rest of the season.

To make matters worse, Dominic Solanke was also forced off against Wolves, but De Zerbi suggested that the England international’s injury is not serious.

Will Randal Kolo Muani be fit to feature against Aston Villa for Tottenham?

There have been rumours circlulating on social media over the last 24 hours that Kolo Muani may also have suffered a hamstring injury.

That would have come as a bitter blow for the Lilywhites in their quest to remain in the Premier League, but thankfully, Matt Law has now revealed that the reports are untrue.

This has also been backed up by Alasdair Gold, who revealed that the rumours are wide off the mark and that the forward will be fit for the club’s clash at Villa Park on Sunday.

Spurs could welcome two of their senior men back

James Maddison appears to be nearing a return, with the attacking midfielder being named on the bench for Tottenham’s last two matches.

However, De Zerbi revealed that Maddison did feel some pain in his knee last week, and it thus remains to be seen if the 29-year-old would be risked anytime soon.

Tim Sherwood has issued a stark warning to the Tottenham Hotspur hierarchy regarding the relentless injury crisis currently engulfing the club, urging the north London club to investigate the injury crisis.

Four ACL injuries since 2025 are far from usual in modern-day football, but that has been the story of Tottenham Hotspur over the last year.

There is no denying that when it comes to luck, Spurs are by far the unluckiest team in the Premier League, and they have their injuries to thank for that.

Xavi Simons became the latest to suffer such a gut-wrenching injury when he went down in the clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Initially thought to be nothing serious, the Dutchman, who attempted to run off the blow, was eventually stretchered off.

Recent reports have now confirmed that Simons – after suffering an ACL injury – is expected to miss the rest of the season and the World Cup, with a return pencilled in for next year.

Taking to social media, the heartbroken Spurs number seven wrote: “They say life can be cruel and today it feels that way. My season has come to an abrupt end and I’m just trying to process it. Honestly, I’m heartbroken. None of it makes sense.

“All I’ve wanted to do is fight for my team and now the ability to do that has been snatched away from me… along with the World Cup. Representing my country this summer… just gone. It will take time to find peace with this, but I will continue to be the best team-mate I can be.

“I have no doubt that together we will win this fight. I will walk this path now, guided by faith, with strength, with resilience, with belief, as I count down the days to getting back out there. Be patient with me. TTP. COYS.”

Tottenham injury crisis sparks Tim Sherwood response

Spurs will now have to continue their battle for Premier League survival without the Dutchman, who was starting to find some form under Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi had claimed that he and Simons were beginning to build a connection, but the 23-year-old now remains unavailable for selection.

The latest blow, with Simons going off after Dominic Solanke appeared to suffer a hamstring injury, leaves Spurs with 11 players sidelined ahead of their crucial trip to Villa Park this weekend.

Tottenham looked to have been down to five players ahead of their trip to Wolves, but their injury crisis has continued to worsen.

Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has now called for the club to investigate the situation, explaining his concerns about the nature and frequency of the injuries while speaking to Sky Sports.

He said: “Injuries have derailed Tottenham all season, and it cannot be bad luck. They need to review and have a good look at what is happening to their players because we can all get injured from contact, but a lot of these injuries are not contact.

“They are twists and soft tissue injuries. And ultimately, it looks like they might have to pay the price for it, the ultimate price, which is relegation.

“If you are a manager, you are going in, your players – some of your best players – keep getting injured and you cannot get them back to fitness.

“Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, it has been a long time since they have been injured. So they are going to need a good look at that in the summer.”

Spurs must find solutions amid growing injury list

De Zerbi will need to get creative as he searches for solutions to his injured stars with four games left this season.

Sadly for the Italian, the three players he had looked to rely on have since picked up injuries, with Mohammed Kudus the first to go down.

In the last two weeks, De Zerbi had demanded more from both Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons, and now both are injured. Club captain Cristian Romero is also out for the rest of the season, which is a major blow.

De Zerbi had made it clear that he wanted a more consistent line-up, but with players continuing to drop out, that now looks increasingly unlikely.

Tottenham Hotspur head into the weekend knowing they must build on their last outing, but with a tougher test awaiting, there are still reasons to believe they can edge the contest.

Tottenham Hotspur simply need to build on their 1-0 victory over Wolves when they take to the pitch again this weekend.

However, standing in their way will be a fiercer opponent in terms of league standing and overall quality – Aston Villa.

Unai Emery’s side currently finds themselves in fifth place in the league standings, while Spurs remain in the bottom three, fighting for their Premier League survival with four games to go.

The victory against Rob Edwards’ side was certainly a step in the right direction, but one of the things learned from that match-up with Wolves was that Spurs simply need to play better against Aston Villa if they are to get a result.

Nonetheless, we believe there are three key reasons why Tottenham hold the advantage over Villa this weekend.

Tottenham can exploit Aston Villa’s poor form

Coming into this match-up, Aston Villa’s form has not been the most impressive, and that could work in Tottenham’s favour.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Of course, Spurs’ form is not any better, as they are sitting in the bottom three and have struggled to pick up wins in their previous 15 outings in this calendar year before triumphing over Wolves last weekend.

However, Villa’s dip can give Tottenham encouragement, as they are no longer as formidable as they were at the start of the season, when they went several games unbeaten.

In their last outing, Unai Emery’s side suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Fulham, leaving their form across the last five matches at LWDWL – a return of seven points from a possible 15.

Across their last 11 games, Villa rank among the poorer sides in the division, sitting 15th based on that run, having picked up 12 points from a possible 33 and conceding 17 goals in that period.

Only Chelsea, Newcastle, Wolves, Spurs and Burnley have fared worse from gameweek 24 to date. If Roberto De Zerbi gets his tactical set-up right, his side could come away with all three points.

Tottenham could benefit from Aston Villa’s Europa League focus

Unlike Spurs, who have only the Premier League to focus on, Aston Villa have their attention split as they continue their European campaign.

Unai Emery has guided his side into the semi-final of the Europa League, offering a rare chance to end a 30-year trophy drought.

Their semi-final opponent is fellow English side Nottingham Forest, making it a far from straightforward tie. For Tottenham, this could prove beneficial both in this clash and in their fight for survival, as Emery may opt to go full strength on Thursday, which could leave his players fatigued heading into Sunday’s encounter.

Spurs, by contrast, will have had a full week’s rest, and if they play with intensity from the start, they could capitalise and push for back-to-back wins.

Spurs can take advantage of Aston Villa’s league position

Another factor that could work in Spurs’ favour is Aston Villa’s position in the Premier League table.

Villa currently sit fifth and are eight points clear of Brighton with four games remaining, meaning their place in the Champions League is almost secured.

They also have the opportunity to secure qualification by winning the Europa League, and a strong result against Nottingham Forest would further strengthen that path.

With less at stake domestically, this situation could play into Tottenham’s hands, as Spurs are fully focused on survival. However, it will be up to the Lilywhites to make it count by starting fast and preventing Villa from settling into the game.

A Belgian international, who Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing, has once again showcased why he could be a generational talent.

There is a lot of uncertainty at Spurs ahead of the summer window, with the club still not assured of their place in the Premier League next season.

Spurs Web has relayed reports suggesting that Tottenham are making two distinct plans for the summer window, depending on whether they avoid relegation or not.

The Lilywhites will likely want to reinforce their attack in the summer. One of the names on their wishlist is a Belgian international who has scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists this term.

Mika Godts shows why Tottenham want him with world-class goal

It has been reported that Ajax’s Mika Godts has been scouted by Tottenham on multiple occasions this season, and the North London club would have undoubtedly been impressed by the 20-year-old’s progress.

The left-winger has emerged as one of the standout players in the Eredivisie this season, tearing defences to shreds with his dribbling and his quality in the final third.

Godts has now served another reminder of his quality by scoring a goal of the season contender in Ajax’s 2-0 win over NAC Breda, which would not have gone unnoticed at the North London club.

The youngster picked up the ball in his own half, before dribbling past three defenders, who he beat twice, before also rounding the goalkeeper to finish into an empty net. Watch Godts’ recent solo goal below:

Will Ajax increase their asking price for Godts?

It was reported in the January window that Ajax valued the 20-year-old at £40m amid interest from Spurs.

The update added that should such an offer arrive from the North London club or any of Godts’ other suitors, the Eredivisie club ‘will of course immediately say yes’.

However, the Belgian international has continued his excellent run of form since then and looks set to play a big part in this summer’s World Cup, which could potentially lead to Ajax increasing their asking price for their star man.

Tottenham Hotspur may miss out on a deal to sign Andy Robertson this summer despite suggestions that they have an agreement in place with the Liverpool star.

Liverpool blocked the 31-year-old’s switch to Spurs during the January window, but the Lilywhites have done some groundwork for a summer deal after the left-back confirmed he will be leaving Anfield when his contract runs out.

It was reported by Fabrizio Romano earlier this month that Robertson had already verbally agreed to join Spurs in the summer as long as the Lilywhites remain in the Premier League.

However, the Tottenham target has also allegedly held talks with Celtic, and another club has now joined the race for his services.

Atletico Madrid looking to beat Tottenham to Andy Robertson

According to The Daily Record, Atletico Madrid have reignited their interest in the Liverpool star after hearing of his plans to leave the Merseyside club.

The report explains that the La Liga club explored a move for Robertson during last summer’s transfer window, and they are now set to revive their pursuit 12 months on.

Manager Diego Simeone is a fan of the Scotland international and has told the Colchoneros hierarchy to bring the experienced full-back to the Metropolitano Stadium.

However, the report adds that while Atletico have the financial muscle to offer Robertson a lucrative deal, the move would need to suit the 31-year-old and his young family.

A move to Celtic is deemed unlikely for Robertson

The Daily Record back up what other sources have reported by stating that Tottenham are ‘already at the table’ for the Liverpool star, but a move to N17 would be contingent on the club remaining in the Premier League.

The outlet points out that Robertson has always said that he would love to play for Celtic, having supported the Glasgow giants growing up.

However, it is suggested a move to Celtic Park is ‘looking less likely’ for the Scotland international, who is generating plenty of interest from Europe’s top-five leagues.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make an ambitious move to beat one of the biggest clubs in Europe to a Manchester United forward.

It has been widely reported that Spurs are ready to undertake an ambitious rebuild of the squad this summer if they stay in the Premier League.

Roberto De Zerbi has been handed plenty of power to shape the Tottenham squad ahead of his first full season in charge in North London.

It has now emerged that the Lilywhites are ready to reinforce their forward line by making an experienced wide-forward, who has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists across all competitions this season.

Tottenham could take advantage of Barcelona’s indecision to sign Marcus Rashford

According to Sport, Spurs are showing an interest in securing the services of Marcus Rashford if they remain in the Premier League.

The 28-year-old has thrived on loan at Camp Nou this summer, but his future remains up in the air ahead of the summer window.

Barcelona have an option to sign Rashford permanently for £26m from Old Trafford this summer, but the Catalan club’s hierarchy has not yet decided if they will activate it.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Spurs’ interest in the England international is described as ‘genuine’, with the Premier League side looking to take advantage of the La Liga club’s indecision to push through a deal for the forward.

Why Spurs may struggle to secure the services of Rashford

The 28-year-old’s current deal is worth £300,000-a-week, and if he demands that Tottenham match that salary, he would become far and away the highest-paid player in Spurs’ books.

While reports indicate that Tottenham are ready to remove their self-imposed wage cap this summer, it remains to be seen if they would be able to reach an agreement with Rashford.

Additionally, Spurs will not have any European football next season, and may thus not find it easy to convince the Man United man that he can fulfil his ambitions at N17.

Tottenham Hotspur head to Villa Park looking to build on a crucial win, with past visits offering a hint of encouragement ahead of another high-stakes clash.

Tottenham Hotspur will be glad to have secured their first win of 2026 in their last Premier League outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It was a 1-0 victory that came from a late Joao Palhinha strike – one that ensured Tottenham remain two points away from 17th-place West Ham United.

However, with four games still to play and Spurs still in the bottom three, Roberto De Zerbi’s men need to secure more victories if they are to keep their Premier League survival hopes alive.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa head-to-head record at Villa Park

Up next for Tottenham is another away trip, this time to Villa Park, where they will take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.

The last time these two met in the league, back on matchday eight, Aston Villa claimed all three points despite Spurs taking the lead inside five minutes, with goals from Emi Buendía and Morgan Rogers turning the game around.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Now, with Spurs at risk of relegation, they cannot afford any more slip-ups, making it vital for them to get a result against Unai Emery’s side this weekend.

Nonetheless, a look at the head-to-head record when Tottenham have visited Villa Park suggests that victory is possible, with Spurs winning eight of the last ten meetings, while Villa have managed just two wins in that period.

It is worth noting, however, that Villa’s victories have come in more recent meetings.

Spurs must capitalise as Forest and West Ham face tough fixtures

While the head-to-head record offers some encouragement for Tottenham, Spurs will still need to keep an eye on results involving their relegation rivals.

West Ham United are set to take on Brentford away from home, while Nottingham Forest face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

These are significant fixtures for both sides, who are up against teams chasing European spots. Should either slip up, Tottenham must be ready to capitalise, making a victory on Sunday even more important.

Journalist Mark Brus has revealed how much progress Tottenham Hotspur have made in their efforts to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer.

Tottenham are reportedly making two distinct plans for the summer window, as the club are still not sure if they will be in the Premier League next season.

In fact, they have already started working on some deals ahead of the window. It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Tottenham had moved into pole position to land Senesi after holding talks with his representatives.

The centre-back’s deal at Bournemouth runs out in June, and Florian Plettenberg even claimed last week that Spurs had reached an agreement in principle with the Bournemouth centre-back, subject to them remaining in the Premier League.

Marcos Senesi has not agreed a move to Tottenham despite ‘advanced talks’

Mark Brus has revealed in his column on CaughtOffside that a deal to take the Argentine to N17 is far from agreed just yet.

He confirmed that Tottenham have indeed touched base with Senesi’s representatives and has held ‘advanced talks’ with the player after he informed Bournemouth that he will not sign a new deal at the Vitality Stadium.

However, the centre-back has not agreed a deal with any club yet, and he will not greenlight a move to Tottenham until the club secures its place in the Premier League.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The journalist revealed that one source told him about the Cherries star’s future: “It’s not agreed yet. Spurs are in advanced talks, they’re really keen on the player, but no final decision yet.”

Two Premier League giants are also eyeing moves for Senesi

Brus goes on to explain that the centre-back may be leaning towards a move to North London if Roberto De Zerbi’s men stay up, but other Premier League sides are still in the race.

Liverpool want to add a centre-back to their squad, even if Ibrahima Konate stays and signs a new contract, and the Bournemouth star is on their wishlist.

Man United are also keen to reinforce their backline this summer, and they are also keeping an eye on Senesi’s situation.
