Archie Gray has decided on his Tottenham Hotspur future as the club fights to save their Premier League status.

Many of Tottenham’s best players are expected to be poached if the club gets relegated, but the club also run the risk of losing some of their key men even if they stay up.

One of those is Archie Gray, who is reportedly of interest to the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Over the last week, reports have indicated that Real Madrid are also turning their attention to the 20-year-old Spurs midfielder, having been impressed by his growth since his switch from Leeds United.

Archie Gray is ready to stay at Tottenham even if they get relegated

A new report in Sports Boom has confirmed the interest of Madrid and Bayern in the youngster, and alleges that the two European giants are confident they could tempt the Spurs star away with a £55m offer.

However, it is revealed that Gray has reassured Tottenham that he will not push for a move this summer.

The 20-year-old is thought to be ready to stick with Spurs even if they were to be relegated for the first time in nearly 50 years.

The Leeds academy graduate is said to be prepared to lead the fightback for Tottenham to get back to the Premier League if the worst-case scenario materialises.

Gray is emerging as an unlikely leader at Spurs

Gray has spoken like a captain amidst Tottenham’s recent struggles, urging his teammates to accept responsibility for the club’s current situation and to get them out of trouble.

Dominic Solanke has highlighted the 20-year-old’s growing influence in the Spurs dressing room, and the former Leeds man is going to be crucial for the Lilywhites’ hopes of staying up.

A very interesting update has emerged about Mauricio Pochettino’s chances of returning to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Tottenham may be forced to appoint another interim option to succeed Igor Tudor after the Croat presided over four defeats in his first four matches in charge.

However, there is one leading candidate for the permanent managerial role in the summer, with reports claiming that the Tottenham hierarchy has already reached out to Pochettino regarding returning to the club.

It has been six and a half years since the Argentine left the club, and he is expected to be on the market this summer as his contract with the United States runs out after the World Cup.

Man United expect Mauricio Pochettino to end up at Tottenham

Pochettino has refused to get drawn into the speculation regarding his future, but if a new report is to be believed, he may have already decided on his next destination.

It is being reported by ESPN that the former Tottenham manager is not regarded as an option to take over at Man United, even though the Red Devils have identified a whole host of candidates.

This is because the senior United figures expected Pochettino to return to Spurs when his contract with United States runs out.

Could relegation threaten Spurs’ chances of re-appointing Pochettino?

Tottenham are battling for their life in the Premier League, with just a point separating them from the drop zone heading into the final nine league matches.

Some reports have claimed that Pochettino may even be open to returning to Spurs if they get relegated.

However, one would think that the Man United challenge will be far more appealing to the Argentine rather than taking over Tottenham in the Championship, despite his soft spot for the North London club.

Liverpool are no longer interested in signing Micky Van de Ven from Tottenham this summer amid a rumoured £100m price tag.

Over the past couple of weeks, Spurs Web has relayed several reports suggesting that Van de Ven could leave Tottenham even if they stay up this season.

The 24-year-old is thought to be eager to swap Spurs for a club that competes regularly in the Champions League.

In fact, some sources have said that Van de Ven’s head has already been turned ahead of the summer due to interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe. His price tag is rumoured to be £100m.

Liverpool are not likely to make a move for Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven

Over recent months, several outlets have said that Van de Ven is seen as a ‘very attractive’ option by Liverpool, who are keen to strengthen their backline this summer.

However, journalist Dominic King has now revealed that the Tottenham Hotspur centre-back is currently not on the Reds’ wishlist.

When asked about the speculation linking Van de Ven with a move to Anfield, King told talkSPORT: “From what I’ve heard, I don’t believe they’re in for him. I would never say anything definitively about a football transfer because things can change.

“I would believe that he would want to come to Liverpool. That’s from what I’ve heard, but I’m not sure that the feeling is totally mutual at this moment in time.”

Real Madrid may also not prioritise a move for Van de Ven

Real Madrid are another club that has been linked heavily with a move for the Netherlands international over recent weeks.

In fact, it has even been suggested by Spanish outlets that Van de Ven is waiting for Los Blancos to call and is keen on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has revealed a shocking reason why Tottenham Hotspur are yet to pull the plug on Igor Tudor’s stay at the club.

Calls for Tudor to be sacked have hit a fever pitch following Tottenham’s debacle at Atletico Madrid, which was the club’s fourth loss in a row since the Croat arrived through the door.

In fact, according to reports, the Spurs players have already lost faith in the Croatian coach, with many in the dressing room shocked by his approach and his decisions.

Many may have expected the 47-year-old to leave immediately after the embarrassing loss in Madrid, and it has now been suggested that there is only one reason why the former Juventus boss is still in the job.

Managers have turned down Spurs job

Miguel Delaney has now revealed that Spurs are not sticking with Tudor because they have faith in him to turn things around.

Instead, the club simply do not have an obvious choice to turn to after several managers made it known that they are not keen on taking on the Tottenham challenge.

Delaney wrote in his Inside Football newsletter for The Independent: “If there’s considerable surprise that Tottenham Hotspur haven’t replaced Igor Tudor yet, multiple sources now insist it isn’t down to any debate about the decision. It is largely because the club have no obvious choice as to who to replace him with.

“I have been told that a number of managers have made it known that they do not want to take on the challenge. There are a range of reasons for this, but one of the biggest is that they don’t want the potential stigma of taking such a huge club down. Some are doubting whether it’s worth it. They see the risk and pressure as far too great.

“Sean Dyche has been raised as an option but, as reported in The Independent, he is understood to be reluctant to take a short-term role, and there may even be complications from his settlement with Nottingham Forest. As it is, there is nothing obvious for Spurs. Sources insist they are reluctant to go down the route of club legends – such as Glenn Hoddle or Harry Redknapp – but might their hand be forced?”

Who are the Igor Tudor replacements Tottenham have in mind?

Apart from the Dyche rumours mentioned by Delaney, it has also been reported over recent days that Tottenham have contacted Robbie Keane about replacing Tudor.

It has even been suggested that Ryan Mason could also be in line to take over as Spurs’ interim boss for the third time after he departed from West Brom.

Manchester City are reportedly discussing a possible move for a Tottenham defender as uncertainty grows around a potential relegation.

Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in unfamiliar territory as they battle relegation this season after a dismal last eight months in the Premier League.

You would have to go back 49 years for the last time Spurs lost their top-flight status and were relegated to the second division.

This season, though, it remains a painful reality and one that could hurt the club in more ways than one. A fair few Tottenham players have been linked with moves away from north London as relegation looms large.

Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie linked with Manchester City move

Football Insider is now reporting that Destiny Udogie is another Spurs man considering his future in north London.

It is claimed that Manchester City have rekindled their interest in Udogie, and are weighing up their options should Tottenham go down this season.

This is not the first time Man City have been linked with a move for Udogie. Last year, ahead of the summer window, a similar report emerged, but no deal materialised.

Guardiola’s side have since signed Ait Nouri from Wolves, but it is claimed they are still in the market for another full-back.

Commenting on the situation, scout Mick Brown said: “Destiny Udogie has shown he’s a top Premier League player,” Brown told Football Insider.

“He’s long been linked with Man City, and this is what will be happening now.

“Man City are looking for a new left-back, so they will be sitting down and assessing, who are the best left-backs in the Premier League and in Europe?

“It’s not just thinking who might be available, they will have done their homework on a number of options, and I expect Udogie will be among those.

“So Man City are holding conversations about Udogie, what will he cost, what are his wages likely to be, how does he fit into our team?

“Then, if Tottenham get relegated or he wants to leave because of how the season has gone, they’ll know all about him and be ready to make a move – or not, if that’s what they decide.”

Spurs defenders attracting interest amid Tottenham uncertainty

Udogie is not the only Tottenham full-back to have been linked with a move away from north London.

We have since reported that his team-mate on the opposite flank, Pedro Porro has also been linked with a move away from Tottenham.

Interest in Porro is coming from Spain, where Real Madrid are said to be keen on securing his services, and Spurs could receive a decent amount should he depart.

Tottenham Hotspur are still pushing to sign Andy Robertson after a failed January move, but this could become more difficult due to a new update.

Back in January, Tottenham Hotspur were keen on signing Andy Robertson, but a deal never emerged to bring in the experienced left-back.

Instead, Spurs completed the signing of Souza, who has made three appearances since arriving from Brazil.

However, with Destiny Udogie prone to picking up injuries, it would not be surpising if Tottenham decide to add another left sided defender to their ranks this summer.

Tottenham still want to sign Andy Robertson

According to Football Insider, Spurs have not given up on signing Robertson, despite failing to do so in the mid-season transfer window.

The Scottish international has already turned down a move to North London, but Tottenham are once again planning to entice him with an offer.

Despite this, Liverpool are prepared to offer Robertson a new contract before his current one expires this summer.

Whether the defender puts pen to paper on a new deal could depend on if he is happy to remain a squad player. If this is not the case, a move to Spurs could actually make more sense.

Liverpool have been reminded of Robertson’s importance

Robertson landed on the scoresheet last weekend when Liverpool defeated Wolves in the FA Cup, reminding Arne Slot of his value to the team.

Milos Kerkez has not been performing well this season, which has left Liverpool wondering if they can really afford to part ways with the 32-year-old.

Ultimately, it is up to the player to decide on what he does next and with Tottenham’s own future uncertain, perhaps it is too early to be discussing a potential summer move.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed who the Tottenham hierarchy see as the ‘ideal candidate’ to take over as the permanent head coach.

Tottenham fans have made it clear that they want Pochettino back at N17 once his contract with the USA ends after the World Cup.

The former Spurs manager has kept his options open ahead of the summer and has played down the speculation over his future.

Some sources have claimed that Tottenham have already begun working on bringing Pochettino back to the club, but it has now emerged that he might not be the club’s top target.

Roberto De Zerbi is reported to be Tottenham’s top managerial target

Several sources have claimed over recent weeks that Roberto De Zerbi is another manager admired by the Tottenham hierarchy.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Italian, who left Marseille last month, is Spurs’ ‘dream candidate’, with the Lilywhites seeing the former Brighton man as the ideal fit for the club.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “If there is a dream candidate now for Tottenham, it’s Roberto De Zerbi. The former Brighton and Marseille manager is seen as the ideal candidate for the Tottenham job.

“Tottenham would love to hire De Zerbi, but at the moment, again, obviously, these depend on several things, and it’s not something easy. But the name of Roberto De Zerbi is one we should always keep in the ‘dream’ targets for Tottenham.”

De Zerbi may prefer a move to Spurs’ Premier League rivals

It was reported last month that Spurs may face competition from Man United for De Zerbi, who is also one of the candidates topping the Red Devils’ wishlist.

In fact, some outlets have claimed that De Zerbi would prioritise a move to United over Spurs should the Manchester club come calling for him.

David Ornstein has revealed how close Igor Tudor is to getting the sack at Tottenham Hotspur, less than a month after he replaced Thomas Frank.

Calls for Tudor to be sacked have grown extremely loud after the Croat has lost all four of his games in charge.

Reports indicate that the Tottenham squad has completely lost faith in Tudor, and the players have been left shocked by his decisions and approach.

Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange are set to decide on whether to make another managerial change, with the Lewis family not expected to interfere, even though the Lilywhites appear to be sleepwalking towards relegation.

Tottenham are actively working on options to replace Igor Tudor

The Athletic’s David Ornstein now reports that Spurs are actively working on possible candidates to take over from the former Juventus boss if they do decide that another change is needed in the dugout.

With Tudor failing to have the impact he was bought in for, the North London side are said to be exploring a further alteration in management in an effort to secure their Premier League status.

Ornstein claims that Spurs are making contingency plans to bring Tudor’s reign to an end following the clash against Liverpool, should a depleted Tottenham side fall to another loss at Anfield.

Experienced Premier League manager in contention for Spurs job

A couple of days ago, it emerged that some at Tottenham view Sean Dyche as the ideal option to galvanise the squad, which is lacking in confidence.

According to a recent update by The Sun, Dyche is currently in pole position to take over at Spurs should Tudor depart the club.

However, the same update explained that Tottenham would have to convince the former Burnley boss about the attractiveness of the job, given the predicament the Lilywhites find themselves in at the moment.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made a key decision regarding Will Lankshear’s development, despite interest arriving from several Championship sides earlier in the season.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Will Lankshear is enjoying a productive spell in the Championship, having managed nine goals in all competitions for Oxford United.

Ironically, the U’s find themselves in a similar position to Lankshear’s parent club as they are fighting to avoid relegation this season.

The Spurs youngster is now looking to spearhead the U’s fight for survival as the Championship season continues to heat up.

Thus far, he has been making a good job of it, scoring two goals in their last three outings as Oxford won both games.

Tottenham loan decision on Will Lankshear revealed

Football Insider has now revealed that Lankshear’s situation at this stage of the season could have been very different.

The England Under-21 striker was a target for Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town in the winter window, two sides at the other end of the table battling for promotion.

Middlesbrough are said to have lined up a loan-to-buy deal worth around £15 million for the 20-year-old, dependent on them winning promotion to the Premier League, while Ipswich were also keen on the forward.

Spurs and Lankshear, however, ultimately felt his development would be better served by seeing out his time with Oxford.

Spurs pleased with Will Lankshear loan progress

It is claimed that Tottenham are happy with Lankshear’s progress during his latest loan spell and have high hopes that he will return to challenge for a first-team spot next season.

The young forward will be hoping that he is at least fighting for a place in the Premier League as Spurs continue their battle to retain their top-flight status.

Alan Shearer has delivered a brutal assessment of Tottenham Hotspur under Igor Tudor, suggesting the club’s trip to Liverpool could end up triggering another major decision.

The coming weeks and months are absolutely vital for Tottenham Hotspur in their quest for survival.

For Igor Tudor, the next few games are crucial, especially with reports claiming that Spurs have set a short timeline for Tudor to turn things around or face the sack.

Up next is a mammoth clash against Liverpool in the Premier League, before Tottenham welcome Atletico Madrid to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the second leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie.

After both matches comes Nottingham Forest, another huge clash for Spurs in their quest to create some daylight from the relegation zone.

Tottenham told Igor Tudor era looks chaotic as Alan Shearer delivers verdict

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has been speaking to Betfair about the situation unfolding at Tottenham.

Shearer first described the club as a “complete and utter mess” under Tudor, pointing to a fractured dressing room and questioning whether the players are responding to the manager.

He said, “Spurs are a complete and utter mess under Igor Tudor. I know it has been a mess for a while, but I think Tudor was brought in to try and calm things down and bring a bit of stability, but it seems as if it is getting worse. It seems like a fractured dressing room and the players are not responding to him.

“They have got Liverpool away this weekend too, goodness me, there is a real live chance that Spurs could be relegated.

“When you look at the dressing room, even taking away the performances, look at what happened the other night with players going to protect the young goalkeeper. The manager is entitled to make a decision, but that decision was on him.

“He felt he had seen enough in the young goalkeeper to put him in ahead of Vicario, and Vicario has been poor as well, but he felt putting the youngster in was the right thing to do. So that is on him. I mean, it was not a nice thing to do.

“You have to feel sorry for the goalkeeper. We all make mistakes, but to make it of that magnitude and in that size of game when things are already going poorly, it is such a tough situation for him. And then for the manager to make the decision to bring him off after 16 minutes, when it was his decision to put him in in the first place… it had to be on him.

“It just looks a complete and utter mess at Spurs at the minute. And it seems to be getting worse because there does seem to be a fractured dressing room, and when that happens, you are in big trouble.”

Shearer also suggested Tottenham may turn to someone familiar with the club if they are forced into another managerial change. Many will remember that Newcastle United did exactly that in 2009 when they hired Shearer himself in a desperate attempt to avoid the drop. On that occasion, it ended in relegation for the Magpies.

He added, “The hierarchy at Spurs will be hammered if they make another change. Because of how fractured and messy it is, I think what they would do is go for someone who knows the club, whether that is an ex-player or an ex-manager. They would go down that line to try and get some harmony.”

Shearer then hinted that discussions behind the scenes may already be taking place if results continue to go against Tottenham.

He said: “It could be an interesting week for Harry Redknapp with his horse running in the Gold Cup as well!

“It could also be an interesting weekend if Liverpool beat Spurs. My guess is that they already may have sounded one or two out. If they have not, then they should have, because if what we expect happens at the weekend, I would expect a change.”

Spurs players must respond as pressure grows on Igor Tudor

The game against Liverpool is absolutely massive for Tudor if he is to keep his spot in the Spurs dugout.

A defeat on Sunday evening could send Tottenham below the relegation line should both Nottingham Forest and West Ham United get results in their respective clashes.

The Spurs players must also show some fight after their abysmal showing against Atletico Madrid, as a similar performance will see them well beaten at Anfield.

Shearer believes that a defeat at Liverpool could serve as the perfect reason for Tudor’s sacking, and his assessment is understandable given that a new manager could work with this group of players during the upcoming international break.

He added, “Well, it could be two of the biggest months in Spurs’ history. My guess is if they get beaten at Anfield at the weekend, that might be an excuse for them to get rid of him. I do not know, I am guessing.

“But looking at Spurs and looking at what is going on, you cannot realistically see them going to Anfield and getting anything. Then they have got Forest, and then there is an international break.

“I know they have got Atletico Madrid in between that, but my guess is that tie is done, and they might even have to accept they are out before that game and look forward to Forest rather than try and claw back that result.

“So yeah, if they get beaten this weekend, my guess is they might be looking for a new manager. In fact, it would not surprise me if they are already speaking to one.”
