Spurs Web

Jack Wilshere has now named the one person at Tottenham Hotspur he loves as the Lilywhites continue their fight against relegation.

With relegation still very much a possibility for Tottenham Hotspur, the Lilywhites know that the margin for error is very slim.

It is crunch time now for Spurs, as they are required to grind out results in whatever way they can while continuing to fight for a Premier League spot with West Ham United.

The Lilywhites certainly have new boss Roberto De Zerbi to thank for their latest upturn in form, as before his appointment Spurs looked destined to go down.

The former Brighton manager has turned Tottenham’s fortunes around since coming in, losing just once in his first five games.

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi earns Jack Wilshere praise amid Spurs survival push

Four more points in his final two matches, and safety will be Spurs’, which will spell delight for fans across the world.

Spurs Web has since relayed Jack Wilshere’s prediction on whether Spurs will remain a Premier League side next campaign. The former Arsenal midfielder gave a shock prediction, backing Tottenham to just about secure their status.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Wilshere has now spoken highly of Roberto De Zerbi, claiming that he loves the Italian’s style of management.

Wilshere said, in reference to De Zerbi’s impact and influence at Spurs: “One thing about Tottenham, Spurs now is I love De Zerbi. I love him as a coach and as a young coach like looking at an influence a coach can have on a team and the way they play. I love him. I do. I love him. So I think they have got a chance with him.”

Spurs prepare for Chelsea test as Roberto De Zerbi looks to extend unbeaten run

Up next for Tottenham is a clash against Chelsea in the Premier League. The Blues are fresh from an FA Cup defeat and are winless in their last seven league outings.

With their poor form, they can surely be beaten by Spurs, who have looked like a much better team under De Zerbi.

The Italian delivered a tactical masterplan against Aston Villa, helping Spurs secure a shock win, and now fans will be hoping he can mastermind another tactical victory over Chelsea, a side Tottenham have only beaten once in their history.

Tottenham Hotspur’s relegation battle remains finely poised with just two games left, but fresh financial rules emerging from the Championship could have significant consequences should the Lilywhites drop out of the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League season is far from over as the Lilywhites remain in a relegation scrap despite the league being in its penultimate round.

Spurs are just two points clear of 18th-place West Ham United after missing a golden opportunity to go four points clear following their 1-1 draw with Leeds United, after the Hammers lost to Arsenal.

A victory for the Hammers and a defeat for Spurs in matchweek 37 would make relegation a very real possibility for Roberto De Zerbi’s side heading into the final day, leaving them a point behind West Ham United.

Tottenham face new Championship spending rules if relegated as Championship clubs vote for change

Relegation to the Championship would have major implications for Tottenham as a club. Financially, Spurs would lose significant revenue, while in the transfer market, they would find it harder to attract top players.

A new rule has now been voted in by Championship clubs ahead of next season regarding how club finances will be managed, and this could affect Spurs.

According to The Mirror, Championship clubs are understood to have backed a proposal to replace the current profitability and sustainability (P&S) system with a squad cost ratio model (SCR) from next season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The new rules are set to align the division more closely with the Premier League’s framework, capping spending on football costs at 85 per cent of total revenue.

SCR expenses are directly linked to the first team, including player wages, manager salaries, agent fees and the annual amortisation of transfer fees, all consolidated into a single budget that reflects the true cost of the squad.

If clubs in the Championship fail to comply, a non-negotiable sporting penalty will be applied in the season the breach occurs.

Exceeding limits will trigger an automatic six-point deduction, with additional penalties increasing depending on the scale of the overspend, including one extra point for every £6.5m spent beyond the ceiling.

Spurs financial challenge under new Championship spending model

If Tottenham were relegated to the Championship, they would definitely enter a league operating under strict financial alignment with the Premier League, but with far lower revenue levels.

The most significant challenge is the revenue drop. Premier League income of around £550m+ would fall dramatically in the Championship, where TV revenue drops from over £100m to roughly £8m, even with parachute payments included.

Under the 85 per cent SCR cap, Tottenham’s spending limit would be tied directly to this reduced revenue, meaning their wage structure would immediately come under pressure as well.

In practical terms, compliance would require significant cost reductions, with high earners likely to be impacted as clubs must align spending with revenue or risk immediate points deductions under the new system.

Tottenham’s parachute payments would still place them above most Championship clubs in terms of allowable spending, but the new rules would remove the ability to rely on external funding to sustain Premier League-level wages in the second tier.

Tottenham Hotspur could once again turn their attention towards Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush this summer, although growing interest from elsewhere in Europe may complicate any potential move.

During the winter window, Tottenham Hotspur were in the market for a forward and explored the signing of Manchester City star Omar Marmoush.

It is not entirely surprising, given the injuries Tottenham had in attacking areas at the time. Right now, Spurs remain short in attack, with Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all out.

No doubt landing a player of Marmoush’s quality would have given Spurs more options and greater firepower.

Tottenham could revisit Omar Marmoush transfer as Manchester City assess future

We are now approaching the summer window, and Tottenham could once again revisit their interest in Marmoush.

The Egyptian has struggled for game time at the Etihad, featuring just eight times from the start in the Premier League.

CaughtOffside have now shared the latest on the Egypt international. According to the publication, Manchester City are understood to be considering Marmoush’s future.

The versatile forward is not currently pushing for a move, but City are said to be reassessing his role in the squad and market value ahead of a potential sale this summer.

Spurs face Barcelona competition for Omar Marmoush

Barcelona are among the clubs linked with a move for the City forward as they look for a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

It is claimed that Julian Alvarez is one of the players on their radar, but his high price tag could force Hansi Flick’s side to pursue the Manchester City star instead.

That would represent major competition for Tottenham should they reignite their interest. While City are not actively pushing for a sale, it is reported they are open to offers in the region of £51m-£55m (€60m-€65m).

Interest from the Bundesliga also remains a possibility, given Marmoush’s success at Eintracht Frankfurt; clubs in Germany will likely consider a move should he become available.

Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of strengthening their squad through the free-agent market could yet face complications, with growing interest from several Premier League rivals threatening to disrupt Spurs’ move for Marcos Senesi.

Spurs Web have since highlighted the opportunity available in the free-agent market, one that Tottenham Hotspur could explore.

If Spurs were to dip into the free-transfer market and make a few shrewd additions, it could free up funds for investment in other areas of the squad.

Spurs Web have since reported on Tottenham and Marcos Senesi reaching an agreement, with the defender out of contract in the summer, while Robertson is also said to have reached a verbal agreement to join Spurs when his contract expires this summer.

Both arrivals, though, depend on Tottenham securing Premier League football next season, which is still not guaranteed as they are just two points clear of 18th place with two games to play.

Tottenham face Chelsea and Manchester United battle for Marcos Senesi

Despite his agreement with Tottenham, journalist Cesar Luis Merlo is now reporting that Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool remain in the race for Senesi.

All three clubs could do with defensive reinforcements, with Chelsea possessing a relatively inexperienced backline and potentially needing a player with Senesi’s experience.

Liverpool could soon need to plan for life after Virgil van Dijk, while Senesi would represent a cost-effective signing for the Reds.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are back in the Champions League and can offer the Argentine European football, while Michael Carrick’s side could also benefit from greater squad depth.

Spurs still relying on Premier League survival

Bournemouth only recently confirmed Senesi’s departure at the end of the season after four years at the Vitality Stadium.

Tottenham’s focus, in the meantime, will be on securing their own Premier League status as they could still lose it should West Ham United outperform them in the final games of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for another summer rebuild after a disappointing domestic campaign, and attention has now turned towards Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to end their 2025/26 campaign without a single trophy despite ending their nearly two-decade wait for silverware last season by winning the Europa League.

Real Madrid are also in the same boat as Spurs and will finish this season without any silverware, although their league position is far more respectable.

It has not been smooth sailing for Los Blancos, especially with dressing-room issues and managerial changes, and they will be looking to improve next season.

Tottenham could now be about to shop from the Spanish side as they also aim to improve on their poor domestic showing.

Tottenham join race for Eduardo Camavinga amid £50m transfer talks

According to TeamTalk, Tottenham are now in the race to sign Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

It is understood that the Frenchman is considering his future in Spain after being left out of the France national team squad.

Camavinga has seen his game time reduced for Los Blancos this season after making just 16 league starts, while Madrid are open to moving him on as they continue their evolution ahead of next season.

Spurs face Liverpool and Manchester United battle for Eduardo Camavinga

Camavinga has reportedly been considering his options ahead of the summer window and is said to be open to a move to the Premier League.

As things stand, Tottenham will have to compete with Liverpool and Manchester United for the Frenchman’s signature, while Chelsea is also in the race.

TeamTalk reports that sources believe Real Madrid will demand a fee in the region of £50m to sanction a sale – a figure not expected to deter Premier League interest given the player’s age, pedigree and experience.

Camavinga can play in multiple positions, including as a defensive midfielder, box-to-box operator, left-sided midfielder and even at left-back when required. He will be a great addition to any side.

Manchester United are also interested in Aurelien Tchouameni. However, after the recent high-profile training-ground fallout involving the midfielder, there is a growing feeling he is unlikely to become genuinely available this summer, which has only increased the appeal of Camavinga.

A former Premier League CEO has now accused Tottenham Hotspur of using a dangerous transfer strategy with Micky Van de Ven.

Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be hoping they can beat the drop to the Championship this season as they remain dangerously close to the relegation places.

There are two games left, but Spurs are far from safe as they only have a two-point cushion over London rivals West Ham United in 18th place.

Securing Premier League football will not only help Spurs financially but will also significantly impact the calibre of players they can attract in the summer.

Tottenham accused of using Micky van de Ven contract talks as distraction tactic

In the last few weeks, there have been a couple of positive reports surrounding certain Spurs players. Spurs Web recently reported that Micky van de Ven is now open to signing a new deal should Tottenham avoid the drop this season.

However, former Everton CEO Keith Wyness has now accused Spurs of using positive transfer stories as a distraction from their struggles on the pitch.

Speaking to Football Insider, Wyness suggested Tottenham are trying to give supporters hope during a difficult period.

He said, “Spurs are putting out a lot of press stuff right now. They’re getting themselves connected with all sorts of top players if they’re going to come in, if they stay up. Micky van de Ven is going to re-sign. They’re giving such a positive spin on everything that they’re going to stay up.

“It’s almost like a distraction tactic, and they’re giving people hope. It’s dangerous. Micky van de Ven, look, he may do because Spurs will have to pay big money to keep players like that.

“They can’t have a repeat of this season, but the way that they’ve been trying to distract the fans, in my view, is very dangerous because they’re going to have to follow through on this for next season.”

Tottenham still face fight to keep Micky van de Ven

While there have been reports of van de Ven being open to signing a new deal with Tottenham, there are still suggestions linking the Dutchman with a move elsewhere.

Spurs Web recently reported that Liverpool has earmarked van de Ven as their preferred replacement for fellow Dutchman Virgil van Dijk.

The report also made it clear that competition for the defender’s signature remains strong, highlighting the level of interest in the centre-back.

It remains very likely that van de Ven stays in north London; if he does, Tottenham will have to splash the cash to keep him.

Amid reports linking Jarrod Bowen with a summer move to Tottenham Hotspur, journalist Pete O’Rourke has revealed what his sources have told him about the West Ham star’s future.

Spurs and the Hammers are locked in a battle for survival, with the Lilywhites sitting just two points ahead of their London rivals heading into the final two league games of the season.

It has been revealed that if Tottenham do stay in the Premier League, they may hand Nuno Espirito Santo’s men another big blow ahead of next season.

After securing Mohammed Kudus last summer, Spurs are plotting a move to poach Jarrod Bowen from the London Stadium ahead of next season.

Newcastle and other Premier League clubs expected to challenge Tottenham for Jarrod Bowen

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now made it clear that it will not be easy for the Lilywhites to win the race for the Hammers winger this summer.

O’Rourke explained that the 29-year-old is likely to be a man in demand if the Hammers go down, revealing that Newcastle are one of several clubs keeping tabs on his situation.

When asked about the speculation linking Bowen with a move to Spurs, the journalist told Football Insider: “There’s no doubt West Ham’s top players will be in high demand if they are relegated, and Jarrod Bowen will be included in that. If he wants to stay in the Premier League, he won’t be short of options. There’s been talk of Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle being interested in him.

“He’s Premier League proven, he’s a player who obviously could have an impact for Newcastle as well. “He can score goals, he can assist goals which he’s proven again with 10 goals and 11 assists this season for West Ham.

“So if West Ham do suffer relegation and Bowen wants to stay in the Premier League, Newcastle are one of a lot of clubs who will be looking at him. He won’t come cheap because of his contract situation. He’s under contract at the London Stadium until 2030, and ideally, West Ham would like to keep hold of Bowen.”

Bowen may stay at West Ham even if they get relegated

However, not all sources are convinced that the West Ham captain is likely to jump ship this summer if the club go down to the Championship.

It was revealed by TEAMtalk a few days ago that Bowen is in no rush to exit the London Stadium and could remain at the East London club even if they get relegated.

Former Everton CEO, Keith Wyness, has reflected on what the Tottenham owners need to do this summer as the Lilywhites look to rebuild their squad ahead of their first full season under Roberto De Zerbi.

If Spurs do manage to avoid relegation, their supporters will be hoping that the club treat this season as a serious warning and ensures they never find themselves in this position again.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham’s owners are prepared to spend significantly to rebuild their squad this summer if they do manage to stay in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites certainly have a lot of work to do if they are to get themselves back up to the top end of the table, where they will feel they belong, but the Lewis family have been warned that they will have to loosen their purse strings.

Expert claims Tottenham’s owners need to inject £300m into the club

Tottenham’s accounts show that they have a major cash flow problem, which potentially makes the summer window tricky.

Keith Wyness has now suggested that the owners have to inject equity of around £300m into the North London club if they are to build a competitive squad for next season.

The former Everton and Aston Villa chief told Football Insider: “There’s going to have to be some seriously big investment in Spurs. Spurs right now, cash-wise, have got some question marks. The ownership are going to have to put in a very, very big chunk of cash, in terms of equity, to be able to do this.

“They’re going to have to put in something like £300m, at least, to try and turn things around and deliver a squad that can go forward. It’s difficult times, and they’ve got to get through the next two games. So let’s just focus on that.

“Spurs are using every bit of good news they can get to try and keep the fans positive, and give them a thread to hang on to. But we all know the reality. The next two games are where it’s at.”

Spurs could raise significant funds from player sales

Reports indicate that Tottenham have already decided to cash in on several of their senior players this summer as part of their rebuild.

A quartet, who Spurs paid £184m for, are expected to be put on the shop window, with Cristian Romero among the players who are on the chopping block.

The Lilywhites would hope that player sales can help add to De Zerbi’s transfer kitty as the Italian looks to put his own imprint on the squad he inherited.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to reignite their interest in Maghnes Akliouche, but a deal for the Monaco star will not be straightforward for the Lilywhites to complete.

Tottenham explored a move for Akliouche until the final days of the January window, but were not able to get it over the line.

Reports indicate that the Monaco star remains near the top of Spurs’ wishlist in the lead-up to the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old’s stock continues to rise, with the attacking midfielder having seven goals and 11 assists to his name across all competitions so far this term, and there has now been an update on his future.

Tottenham are keeping tabs on Maghnes Akliouche but they face one roadblock

Football Insider have now reported that the France international is ‘edging closer’ to an exit from Monaco this summer as he remains in Tottenham’s sights.

The outlet spoke to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who confirmed that the Lilywhites are fans of the Monaco man but suggested they may struggle to win the race for the player after failing to qualify for Europe.

O’Rourke told the website: “Maghnes Akliouche is obviously a player who’s been on their radar for a long time. Tottenham will be keeping tabs on him, and they are looking to be kept informed on his future.

“Monaco are well aware of the growing interest in him and probably would sell at the right price. For Tottenham, I’m sure they’ll be looking to be in that race for him.

“But I think it’ll be difficult for them just due to that lack of European football and because of the probable rival interest from other clubs.”

Man United ready to challenge Spurs for Akliouche

Football Insider says that while Monaco rebuffed interest in their star man in January, the Ligue 1 club’s stance is expected to change this summer as they want to sell their star man and raise funds.

However, the outlet claims that Spurs are not the only ones interested in the 24-year-old, with Man United also joining the race for Akliouche after sealing Champions League qualification.

Monaco are expected to demand around £40m for the lanky left-footer, with a number of clubs around Europe ‘an altert’ as they see the Frenchman as an ‘affordable’ option.

A player who arrived at Tottenham in January is still waiting for his first-team debut, but he may be set to win his first international cap soon.

Roberto De Zerbi has chosen to rely on experience rather than youth in Tottenham’s relegation battle so far.

The Italian has put his trust in the likes of Joao Palhinha and Conor Gallagher in the middle of the park over the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

One young Spurs forward has trained with the first-team under De Zerbi, and he has now received an international call-up.

Tottenham star Mason Melia may be in line to win his first cap for Ireland

Spurs signed Mason Melia from St Patrick’s Athletic for £1.6m plus add-ons back in February of 2025, and he linked up with the Lilywhites during the recent January window after turning 18.

The teenager had an injury setback during his first couple of months at Spurs, but he has impressed for the U21s since his return.

Melia has scored three times in six matches in Premier League 2, and the forward has now been called up to the Republic of Ireland national squad.

It thus appears that the 18-year-old may get a taste of senior international football before he makes his bow for the North Londoners.

Ireland have been keeping an eye on Melia’s performances at Spurs

Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson has confirmed he will name the 18-year-old in his squad for the next two friendlies at home to Qatar on May 28 and away to Canada on June 5.

He revealed that Ireland U21 boss Jim Crawford has been keeping a close eye on Melia’s performances over the last couple of months.

Football.London quote Hallgrimsson as saying: “Mason is in the next camp. I have to be honest, I haven’t seen him play for Tottenham’s U21s in their last games, but our U21s manager Jim Crawford has.

“Obviously, I saw him last season in Europe for St Pat’s, and he played really well there. He has the qualities that we are looking for in a sense of his running behind, he’s a hard-working kid, he will fight for every scrap. All of those things he has we saw last year in the League of Ireland and Europe.
