Spurs Web

Mathys Tel, who had a touchy relationship with Thomas Frank, has now spoken about the impact Igor Tudor’s arrival has had at Tottenham.

They say a week can be a long time in football, and Tudor has experienced that first-hand at Tottenham.

The Croatian coach’s days at Spurs appeared to be numbered following the 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid last week, but things have suddenly changed at N17 after two good performances and results.

The win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, despite coming in a losing cause in the tie, came as a big boost to not just the squad but also the fans, with pundits now calling for Tottenham to stick with Tudor.

Mathys Tel reveals how Igor Tudor’s arrival at Tottenham has impacted him

Mathys Tel may have been the most pleased in the Tottenham squad to see the back of Thomas Frank, given his touchy relationship with the Dane.

Reports indicated in January that Tel was ready to leave Spurs if Frank had stayed at the club after the former Tottenham boss left the 20-year-old out of the Champions League squad and was generally reluctant to start him.

The France Under-21 international picked up an assist on Wednesday and was menacing in the final third, and he has now revealed that Tudor has given him ‘confidence’ that he did not get before under Croat’s predecessor.

Tel said (via The Mirror): “I can feel the manager put confidence that was needed before. So we can see on the pitch, I have got more confidence, I can create situations. So, yeah, I mean, he gave me some things that I didn’t have before.”

Tel calls on Spurs fans to be the 12th man on Sunday

The forward echoed the sentiment of many of his teammates by stressing the importance of having the fans behind the team at Tottenham Hotspur.

He suggested that Spurs can replicate their last two performances if the supporters push the team on from minute one on Sunday.

Tel said ahead of the clash against Nottingham Forest: “We can do everything on the pitch, but we need plus one. And the plus one is the fans. We need them all the time. So we can do everything, but we need people pushing you every time, every minute. So this is what they did. And we won. Liverpool is the same. So I hope we will do the same thing on Sunday.”

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a highly-rated Bundesliga forward but face two big hurdles in their effort to secure the player.

Most Spurs fans will agree that the squad is crying out for firepower upfront, with Heung-min Son and Harry Kane’s world-class quality in attack yet to be replaced.

With reports indicating that Tottenham are prepared to make some ambitious moves in the summer, one would expect the club to prioritise adding an elite forward to their squad.

However, Spurs will not have an easy run at a 23-year-old forward who has been on their radar for a while.

Tottenham battling London rivals and European giants for Fisnik Asllani

Tottenham’s interest in Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani first came to light last summer, and the speculation has not gone away since.

The 23-year-old’s reputation has further grown due to his exploits this season, with the versatile forward scoring nine times and registering eight assists in 27 outings so far this term.

According to BILD, Tottenham still remain interested in Asllani and are considering a move for the youngster next summer.

However, the outlet reveals that the Lilywhites will face competition from Bayern Munich as well as Chelsea, who are both fans of the Kosovo international.

The entry of the Bavarian giants and London rivals potentially serves to complicate Tottenham’s pursuit, but he will not cost a fortune this summer due to a clause in his contract.

Spurs can sign Asllani for a discount

It was reported earlier this month by Fussball Daten that Spurs are on the lookout for a striker in Harry Kane’s mould, and the search has led them to the Hoffenheim star.

The outlet asserted that Tottenham see Asllani as a missing piece of the puzzle in their attack and are fans of him due to his ability to play a ‘dual role’ as a playmaker and an elite finisher.

The same update also revealed that the striker has a release clause of just €30m (£26m) in his Hoffenheim contract, with the report describing the deal as ‘the bargain of the century’.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to poach an experienced centre-back from a club that they beat in the Champions League this season.

There is a lot of uncertainty over the futures of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, who are both of interest to several big clubs around Europe.

There have even been rumours suggesting that Luka Vuskovic could leave Tottenham for a bigger club this summer, without playing a single competitive fixture for the Lilywhites.

Spurs may thus require some top-class reinforcements at the back, and they have set their sights on a 29-year-old Bundesliga star.

Tottenham eyeing summer move for Borussia Dortmund’s Waldemar Anton

According to Sports Boom, Tottenham have set their sights on Waldemar Anton, who has emerged as a vital part of the Dortmund backline since arriving from Stuttgart in 2024.

The defender’s power and his tactical discipline have brought him to the attention of some Premier League clubs, whose recruitment departments are looking for ready-made leaders at the back.

One of those is Tottenham Hotspur, who are particularly attracted by Anton’s recovery speed and see him as the ‘modern-day centre-back’, who could fit a high-defensive line.

It is suggested that Spurs may be ‘looking for a full factory reset in defence’, given the speculation over Romero and Van de Ven, with the Dortmund man emerging as a tempting option for the Lilywhites.

Spurs’ Premier League rivals plotting early offer for Anton

Sports Boom say that Anton is also on the wishlist of Aston Villa, who are looking to make key additions to their squad to maintain their status among the Premier League and Europe’s elite.

The Villa hierarchy views the German international style as being tailor-made for the Premier League, and with Unai Emery keen on signing a defender who can handle one-v-one situations, the 29-year-old has emerged as a ‘primary target’.

It is claimed that the Midlands club are prepared to test Dortmund’s resolve to hold onto Anton early in the summer window, while West Ham also view the former Stuttgart man as the ‘perfect candidate’ to upgrade their backline.

Tottenham Hotspur have shifted their sights to an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, but they could face a lot of competition from their Premier League rivals for the starlet.

The lack of creativity in the middle of the park has plagued Tottenham right since the start of the season.

While the returns of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski would solve some of the team’s issues, one would not be surprised if the Lilywhites also added another creative midfielder to their squad in the summer.

According to a new report, Spurs’ attention has been captured by a young German starlet, who is thriving in the second tier of German football this term.

Tottenham want Francis Onyeka but deal is dependent on crucial factor

Bayer Leverkusen’s Francis Onyeka has developed a big reputation with his performances on loan at Bundesliga 2 side Bochum, and that has not gone unnoticed in England.

According to Sports Boom, experts see Onyeka as a perfect fit for the Premier League’s physical intensity, with several clubs monitoring him and gathering data about the youngster over recent months.

One of those clubs is Tottenham, who have added the attacking midfielder to its transfer shortlist of ‘high-potential playmakers’.

It is revealed that Spurs are currently planning for two different scenarios this summer: one if they stay in the Premier League and another if they go down to the Championship.

The report reveals that the Leverkusen academy graduate is unlikely to greenlight a move to North London if they were to get relegated.

Three Premier League clubs could challenge Spurs for Onyeka

SportsBoom say that Onyeka’s elite metrics in running distance, key pass accuracy and ball recoveries have been flagged by Brighton, whose scouts have been closely tracking the youngster.

Additionally, the attacking midfielder is also on the wishlist of Aston Villa and Leeds United ahead of the summer window.

While RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund also hold an interest in Onyeka, it is revealed that the Leverkusen board may prefer selling the player to a Premier League club rather than a domestic rival.

Tottenham Hotspur have received a massive blow in their pursuit of a Serie A winger as Arsenal’s transfer intentions have now come to light.

Tottenham were pipped to the signing of Eberechi Eze by their North London rivals last summer, with the transfer saga leaving the Lilywhites with egg on their faces.

It now appears that Spurs could be beaten by the Gunners to their top target for a second summer running.

It was reported last month that Tottenham were leading the race to sign an AC Milan star, who has scored 10 goals across all competitions this season, but a deal may no longer be straightforward.

Arsenal ready to meet the asking price of Tottenham target Christian Pulisic

The player of interest is Christian Pulisic, who Arsenal are ready to challenge Spurs for, as per a recent update by Football Insider.

Italian journalist Marco Varini has now revealed that the Gunners have stepped up their pursuit of the former Chelsea man.

Varini claims that Milan wants €75 million (£65m) for Pulisic, which Mikel Arteta’s men have now expressed a willingness to pay.

In light of Arsenal’s willingness to meet the asking price, the Rossoneri have put talks over a new contract with the winger to the back burner, with the player no longer considered ‘untouchable’.

What is Pulisic’s transfer stance?

Varini adds that Milan are currently ‘making the evaluations’ on whether to keep the 27-year-old or sell him, with an official offer from Arsenal now ‘awaited’.

The journalist claims that Pulisic is keen to return to the Premier League this summer, three years on from swapping Stamford Bridge for the San Siro.

It thus appears that Tottenham may have to move fast if they are to have any chance of securing the USA international’s services.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed the big news that his sources are telling him about Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham Hotspur.

Many of Spurs’ stars may be poached by bigger clubs if they go down to the Championship this summer, as they hover just a point above the relegation zone with eight league games left.

There is a lot of interest in Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, with Tottenham reportedly in a state of panic about losing both their first-choice centre-backs.

Romero, in particular, is attracting plenty of interest from the biggest clubs in Europe, and one journalist has now made a big claim about the Spurs captain’s future.

Christian Romero is expected to leave Tottenham even if they stay up

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed that the Argentina international could depart the North London club even if they stay in the Premier League.

He stated that Atletico Madrid, who were the front-runners to land the centre-back last summer, remain interested in the Tottenham man.

Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “Cristian Romero and Micky van der Ven are two players that are likely to leave Tottenham if they go down to the Championship, and in the case of Romero, there is a strong possibility, I’m told, that he and the club will look for a move away, even if Tottenham stay in the Premier League.

“Over the summer, Romero did a public interview in which he said that he’d like to move to La Liga one day. At that point, Atletico Madrid were viewed as the frontrunners, and they still hold an appreciation for Romero, so we’ll wait and see how that develops.

“Romero has some interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but is not particularly keen on either of those options. And I’m also told that Roma made an inquiry as well. So Tottenham and Romero could part ways, and that may happen even if they stay in the Premier League.”

There is a growing belief at Spurs regarding Romero’s future

This update comes just over a week after The Telegraph reported that Tottenham are now increasingly open to cashing in on the World Cup winner.

The outlet claimed that there is a growing belief at the club that it may be best for both Romero and Spurs to go their separate ways at the end of this campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a striker who has scored 17 times this season, but they face one complication in getting a deal over the line.

It has been widely reported that this season is expected to be Richarlison’s last at Tottenham, even though he is on course to end it as the club’s top scorer.

It has also been alleged that Spurs are not planning to pursue a permanent deal for Randal Kolo Muani at the end of his loan spell this summer, which means that the Lilywhites are likely to be in the market for a new number nine.

One experienced Bundesliga centre-forward is now in the North London club’s sights, and they may be involved in a bidding war for the player.

Serhou Guirassy’s release clause is not valid for Tottenham

Bild have now revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Borussia Dortmund star Serhou Guirassy as they look to rebuild their squad this summer.

The striker has scored 17 times and provided six assists for the German side this season, and Spurs allegedly see him as a key part of their restucturing after a poor campaign.

It is revealed that Tottenham officials made several trips to Germany to watch Guirassy in action this season and have already contacted the striker’s representatives regarding a transfer.

However, the outlet explains that the former Stuttgart man’s €50m (£43.2m) release clause is only applicable to select top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and not for the Lilywhites, who have to negotiate a deal with Dortmund.

Guirassy may not be able to make his preferred move this summer

Bild reveals that Dortmund are facing significant economic losses this season and may fill that financial hole by cashing in on the Guinea international this summer.

It is revealed that Guirassy would like to land a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia and has been exploring opportunities, but that now seems ‘increasingly unlikely’ due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Tottenham academy starlet Alfie Devine continues his rich vein of form in the EFL, netting a brace to help Preston North End emerge 3-1 winners in a crucial Championship clash on Friday.

Several of Tottenham’s youngsters are impressing out on loan this term, with many of them getting their first taste of senior football away from N17.

However, it is a 21-year-old, who is now in his fourth different loan spell, who has been turning heads with his performances over recent months.

Alfie Devine has showcased his quality in the final third regularly at Preston North End this term, and the attacking midfielder once again made the difference for his side on Friday.

Tottenham youngster Alfie Devine nets a brilliant brace for Preston

Stoke City travelled to Deepade on Sunday, and it was the away side that took the lead in just the fourth minute of the game.

The Tottenham Hotspur youngster levelled the scores just nine minutes later, running the length of the pitch after being played through before slotting it into the back of the net.

Milutin Osmajic then put Preston in front with a header on 57 minutes before Devine added a third for the home side three minutes later, with the youngster producing a composed chipped finish after being one-on-one with the Stoke goalkeeper.

Watch the attacking midfielder’s second goal below:

Has Devine come of age this season?

Devine became Tottenham’s youngest debutant and goalscorer at the start of 2021, and there were big things expected of him at Hotspur Way.

The youngster’s development has stalled a bit over the last couple of years, but he is now showing signs of fulfilling the potential he has always had.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a friendly gesture to Nottingham Forest’s Evangelos Marinakis ahead of the big showdown between the two clubs on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest prevented Tottenham from landing Morgan Gibbs-White last summer, despite the Lilywhites activating his confidential release clause.

The man at the centre of the storm was Evangelos Marinakis, who threatened legal action against Spurs, alleging that the confidentiality of the clause had been breached.

In the end, it was the Forest owner who had the last laugh, with Gibbs-White signing a new contract at the City Ground last summer and staying put.

Evangelos Marinakis will be welcomed into Tottenham’s directors’ are

The Telegraph have revealed that even though Forest sent a threat of legal action to Spurs and complained to the Premier League, their owner will be welcomed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

The Spurs hierarchy insists that they have ‘no issues’ with Marinakis despite the fallout over the Gibbs-White saga in the summer.

A source close to the Tottenhma board told the outlet that the Forest owner “would be very welcome” in the director’s area during the game and that there are “no issues whatsoever”.

The report points out that Daniel Levy was the one calling the shots at Spurs when the transfer standoff occurred last summer, with the Lewis family since taking control of the North London club.

Spurs could have the last laugh against Marinakis

Marinakis threw shade at Tottenham last summer after stopping the Gibbs-White transfer, and Spurs have the opportunity to get revenge by offering a huge blow to Forest’s quest to stay in the Premier League on Sunday.

Additionally, reports indicate that Spurs may go back in for Morgan Gibbs-White this summer after their failed efforts to land him before this season.

One would think that the England international would want out of the City Ground if Forest fail to preserve their Premier League status, and in that case, Tottenham could even potentially eye a discounted deal for the midfielder.

Alasdair Gold has provided an update on Dejan Kulusevski’s rehabilitation and when Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to return for Tottenham.

Tottenham’s injury crisis has eased off a bit as they embark on the final stretch of the season.

However, Spurs have learned that they will be without Guglielmo Vicario for a month, with the Italian goalkeeper set to have a minor surgery on his hernia next week following Sunday’s clash against Nottingham Forest.

Things are also not looking rosy for a midfielder, who has been sidelined with an injury since May of last year.

Kulusevski has not kicked a ball yet this season, and it appears that the 25-year-old may not be as close to returning as it may have appeared.

A couple of days ago, Sweden boss Graham Potter revealed that the Tottenham man is not progressing as quickly as they had hoped.

Gold has now explained that it is a case of waiting until Kulusevski does not feel any pain in his knees, which makes it hard to put a timeline on the former Juventus star’s return.

The journalist on his YouTube channel: “The moment Kulusevski doesn’t feel pain in his knee is the moment that everything can start moving forward. And I’m guessing they will be so reluctant to push him to cause any further issues in what was such a complicated injury.

“It’s not like any of the other injuries that you can kind of easily put a prognosis on a return date and everything that we normally see in football. It is so different, and yeah, unfortunately, it’s just one of those where we’ll see when he comes back, and there’s no kind of way we can really estimate it. It’s just going to be a sudden thing.”

Gold reveals when Rodrigo Bentancur will return for Spurs

Speaking on Friday, Igor Tudor revealed that Rodrigo Bentancur is one of several Spurs players who are edging close to a return.

Gold has now revealed that Uruguayan has begun working on football-specific moments and predicted that we will see him lining up for Spurs towards the end of April.

He said about the 28-year-old: “He’s already returned to field-based work and they’re reintroducing football-specific movements. under the current timeline he should technically be ready by the end of March, but not returning to competitive matches. That’s more realistically towards the end of April. I think we were always told April, so that kind of makes sense.”
