Tottenham loanee Luka Vuskovic is enjoying his time at HSV Hamburg in the Bundesliga this season

Tottenham made the right decision by allowing Luka Vuskovic to leave the club on loan last summer until the end of the season. The Croatia international has impressed during his spell at HSV Hamburg, emerging as one of the standout players in the Bundesliga this season. His stock has risen significantly in recent months, and the 18-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down. The Lilywhites recognised that he needed valuable experience to break into the starting eleven in the coming years, which is why they opted to give him exposure to regular first-team football elsewhere.

Vuskovic was sent out on loan last summer after it became clear that he would not receive sufficient first-team opportunities at N17 this season. Experienced players such as Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, and Radu Dragusin were all ahead of him in the pecking order. It is fair to say that the decision to loan him out has worked out well for all parties involved.

Despite being just 19, the talented defender has displayed remarkable composure and maturity this season, helping HSV Hamburg maintain their top-flight status, and is already worth a staggering €60m. He has made a significant impact at both ends of the pitch in recent months, drawing comparisons to some of the game’s greats due to his commanding presence. German football legend Lothar Matthaus also predicted a bright future for Vuskovic following his Man of the Match performance against Bayern Munich earlier last month.

Tottenham could end up losing Luka Vuskovic in the summer

Tottenham are enduring a difficult campaign in the Premier League this season. They have been knocked out of all cup competitions and are on the brink of relegation from the first division. The Lilywhites are struggling to return to winning ways under Igor Tudor and are the only team in the league yet to register a victory since the turn of the year. As a result, there is a strong possibility that they may need to cash in on some of their most valuable assets in the coming months.

One such player with a high resale value is Luka Vuskovic. The North Londoners are fighting to retain him in the upcoming transfer window given their poor league position. Recent reports suggest that Barcelona are monitoring the Croatia international’s progress at HSV Hamburg, with Hansi Flick keen on signing a new centre-back. As a result, the Blaugrana believe that an offer in the region of €40m could be enough to tempt the Lilywhites to part ways with the talented defender.

However, there is a new twist in the transfer saga involving Vuskovic. As per TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in signing the 19-year-old in the upcoming transfer window. Both clubs believe that the Croatia international is the next big thing in football and possesses all the attributes needed to become one of the best defenders in the world. They are pushing hard to win the race for his signature, with Vuskovic also open to taking on a new challenge if the right opportunity arises.

Spurs cannot afford to lose Luka Vuskovic in the summer. With Cristian Romero facing an uncertain future at N17, the Lilywhites believe the Croatia international could seamlessly step in as his replacement in the starting eleven next season. He could potentially form a strong partnership with Micky van de Ven at the back, helping Spurs compete at the top end of the Premier League table once again.

Will we see Luka Vuskovic permanently head for the exit at Hotspur Way before making a first-team appearance for Spurs? Only time will tell.

old former Celtic Youth star from Scotland signs first professional contract with Tottenham

17-year-old former Celtic Youth star from Scotland signs first professional contract with Tottenham - To The Lane And Back
Description

The North Londoners have officially secured the future of a gifted teenage winger in a move that offers the N17 faithful a rare reason to smile today.

Tottenham Hotspur faces a terrifying fight to stay in the Premier League, but the boardroom remains focused on long-term growth. The club announced today that Conall Glancy has signed his first professional contract at the £1 billion valued stadium. This news arrives just as the atmosphere around the training ground reached a boiling point. The North Londoners are currently sitting just 1 point above the drop zone following that 0-3 home humiliation against Nottingham Forest.

Glancy turned 17 years old last month, and his rise through the youth ranks is a genuine bright spot. He originally joined the Academy last summer after being plucked from the youth system at Celtic. His record in Scotland was incredible. He managed to bag 15 goals for a treble-winning Celtic Under-16 side before making the move south. Many in Glasgow were reportedly gutted to lose such a clinical finisher to a Premier League rival.

The winger has since become a fixture for the Under 18 side managed by Jamie Carr. He has already racked up 12 appearances across all competitions during the current 2025–2026 campaign. His transition to life in London has been impressive despite the chaotic atmosphere surrounding the first team today.

Conall Glancy offers Igor Tudor a different profile as the Lilywhites battle to avoid the drop

He finally opened his league account for the youth team during a recent 4-1 demolition of Birmingham City away. Glancy showed great composure to find the net and justify the faith shown in him by the scouts. He also gained massive experience in the UEFA Youth League against Paris Saint-Germain in November.

Facing elite European opposition is exactly what this talent needs to bridge the gap to senior football. Igor Tudor is currently desperate for goals and creativity in the final third. The Lilywhites looked totally toothless during the recent defeat to Forest. Injecting the fearlessness of youth might be the only way to save this season.

The N17 faithful are demanding a response from the board. Securing a player of this calibre is a sensible step toward a sustainable future. Fans want to see results today. Survival is the priority. Time starts now.

Gus Poyet confident about saving Tottenham if given the job

'I already did it at Sunderland' -Gus Poyet confident about saving Tottenham if given the job - To The Lane And Back

The 58-year-old is ready for the Tottenham managerial role.

The clock is ticking on Igor Tudor‘s tenure at Tottenham Hotspur. Appointed on an interim basis in February following the departure of Thomas Frank, the former Juventus manager has been unable to arrest the club’s alarming slide. With Spurs already eliminated from the Champions League and clinging to safety just one position above the Premier League relegation zone, a parting of the ways appears imminent, and the scramble to identify his successor is well underway.

Into that vacuum has stepped Gus Poyet, who wasted no time making his ambitions known. Speaking live on talkSPORT, the 58-year-old Uruguayan, who won the League One Manager of the Year in 2010/11, made clear he would not turn down the opportunity if ENIC came calling.

“I can’t say no, and I have to trust my ability, I have no doubt. But listen, me, I like when the clubs, they support the coach. I like it...I already did it at Sunderland.”

It is a characteristically candid statement from a man who built his reputation at White Hart Lane as a combative, influential midfielder in the 1990s before going on to manage Brighton & Hove Albion and Sunderland in England. His most recent post was with South Korean side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in 2025, making him available should Spurs decide to move quickly.

Gus Poyet to the rescue for Tottenham?

According to further reports from Teamtalk, Tudor’s exit will see itself handled carefully, with both parties aligned on a mutual consent arrangement. Senior members of the club hierarchy have engaged in discussions with Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham, and they have already made the decision to part ways. What remains is timing.

Tudor is also said to be personally ready to step away from the role following the recent passing of his father, Mario, which adds a deeply human dimension to what is otherwise a hard-nosed football decision.

That personal context makes the situation all the more delicate for Spurs to navigate publicly. The club will need to handle Tudor’s exit with sensitivity while simultaneously pressing ahead with a managerial search that is already in its advanced stages.

Despite Poyet’s public declaration of interest, ENIC have two other candidates higher up their list of preferred replacements. The indication is that the club’s owners are looking for a more established profile, possibly someone with recent top-level European experience.

Poyet’s candidacy is not without merit. His playing connection to the club carries weight with supporters, and his managerial career, while not without its bumps, has taken in stints across England, Spain, Greece, Russia, and South Korea. However, Spurs’ position in both the league table and the broader footballing landscape demands a candidate capable of making an immediate, transformative impact.

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for its first league win in 2026 continued as they were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest at home.

Tottenham Hotspur have entered the March international break without a Premier League win in 2026. As staggering as it may sound, Spurs are the only club to have not tasted a league victory this year.

The North Londoners were handed a 3-0 humiliation by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. With this win, Nottingham Forest leapfrogged Tottenham into 16th spot, piling more misery on Igor Tudor in the process. Igor Tudor has lost four and drawn one of his five league games in charge, failing to bring stability to the club after being appointed as the interim boss in mid-February.

Tottenham did enter the Nottingham Forest fixture on the back of a couple of positive results. They took a valuable point against Liverpool last weekend, which was followed by a 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie. Owing to these results, Spurs held an edge over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Peter Schmeichel left shocked after learning about Tottenham’s defeat to Nottingham Forest

Tottenham had a great opportunity to build on those results by beating Forest at home. Instead, they were outworked and outsmarted by Vitor Pereira and his men. They came up with a clear plan and executed it brilliantly.

Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel was shocked when he heard that he had lost to Forest. The big Dane insisted that it is unbelievable, given how well Tudor’s men played against Atletico Madrid last week, to then go down against Vitor Pereira’s side, given how high the stakes were.

“No, you’re kidding me”, Peter Schmeichel said on Viaplay.

“Honestly, how can you go from winning against Atletico Madrid 3-2, in a game where they played well in the Champions League, a tournament that should be so irrelevant to any Spurs player, manager and coach and then go and lose 3-0 to Nottingham Forest?

“That’s embarrassing, really. And it shows you where they are now. They are on the way to the Championship.”

Spurs set to part ways with Tudor by mutual consent

It was a shocking performance from Tottenham against Forest. The Midlands outfit totally deserved the win, and the result on Sunday have left us just a point above the drop zone.

Spurs only have seven games left to save their season and avoid relegation. The key decision-makers of the club see the international break as the ideal time to make a managerial change. Reputed journalist Alasdair Gold has revealed that parting ways with Tudor by mutual consent is now the likeliest scenario. As the Croatian tactician lost his father, Mario, on Sunday, the N17 chiefs want to handle the situation very sensitively.

That said, Tottenham could very well have a new manager in place for the next game at Sunderland on April 12.

Tottenham offered chance to sign Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo

Tottenham has been linked with a shock move for Liverpool forward.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to bring in reinforcements when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

After a disastrous campaign, which could end up in the unthinkable relegation, the club bosses will have their task cut out to rebuild the squad. Relegation to the Championship could lead to a squad overhaul, where several international players end up leaving the club. They would not want to waste one precious year of their careers playing in the second tier of English football.

If Spurs end up retaining their top-flight status, they will still have an opportunity to attract some quality players from the Premier League and beyond. As the Lilywhites continue to struggle with creativity and goals from wide areas, the club bosses will certainly be in the market for a new winger in the summer.

Tottenham linked with shock move for Liverpool star

The club made a baffling decision to sell Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace at the start of the winter transfer window, and then failed to bring in a replacement. Johnson’s exit, coupled with long-term injuries to Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert, has left Tottenham with a lack of quality and depth in wide areas of the field. This is perhaps the reason why the N17 chiefs have started looking at wingers to improve the squad.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Cody Gakpo has been offered to clubs in the Premier League, including Tottenham, and around Europe as Liverpool attempts to gauge interest in their forward through third-party representatives.

The Reds are interested in signing Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon in the summer, and the exit of Cody Gakpo could make way for the England international. Gakpo has endured an up-and-down season in Merseyside, racking up eight goals and four assists in 42 appearances. Despite his questionable performances, manager Arne Slot continues to keep faith in his fellow Dutchman.

Considering his failure to produce consistent displays, even after getting a prominent role in the team following Luis Diaz’s exit to Bayern Munich, Liverpool bosses are now weighing whether a change would benefit their budding attacking setup. The likes of Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, Napoli and AC Milan are monitoring Gakpo’s situation closely, while Tottenham are an option, as long as they successfully manage to stay in the Premier League, the report adds.

Perhaps we have seen glimpses of Gakpo’s potential at Anfield, but that has not been enough, given how much Liverpool fans expect from him. In addition to his Premier League and European experience, the Netherlands international can create something out of nothing and score all kinds of goals. Truly, he’d be an adequate replacement for Johnson, raising the Lilywhites’ quality and depth in the attacking unit.

That said, if Tottenham preserve their top-flight status, our bosses must try testing Liverpool’s resolve for Gakpo in the summer.

Igor Tudor might be on the verge of leaving Tottenham soon.

Tottenham Hotspur’s relegation prospects became serious after they lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest at home on Sunday.

Spurs went into the relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest on the back of a couple of good results. They claimed a draw against Liverpool at Anfield and a win over Atletico Madrid in their second leg last-16 clash, but were eliminated from the Champions League. This was perhaps the first time in a long while that the fans were confident of their side getting the better of the opponents.

However, Nottingham Forest pulled Tottenham back to earth, with goals from Igor Jesus, Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi inflicting pain on Igor Tudor and the fans. The defeat to Forest saw Tudor’s side drop to 17th in the table- just one point above the relegation zone with seven games to play in the Premier League.

Former Spurs midfielder makes desperate plea to the club’s board to re-appoint Ange Postecoglou

Totally devastated with the result against Vitor Pereira’s side, former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara has suggested that the club needs to make a ‘desperate’ move to replace the beleaguered Tudor. As the North Londoners are in crisis, he is ready to take back Ange Postecoglou to save the club from getting doomed.

“Right now, in the desperate measures that we’re in, I probably would take Ange [Postecoglou]. I probably would,” Jamie O’Hara said on the talkSPORT show.

Tottenham chiefs must be debating whether another managerial change is needed. With the international break on us, they have to come to a quick decision, albeit one in a dignified manner as far as Tudor’s situation is concerned, after his father, Mario, passed away at the weekend.

Ange Postecoglou returning to Tottenham looks highly unlikely

Tudor’s failure to turn the fortunes around after replacing Thomas Frank has seen Tottenham firmly become a part of the relegation dogfight. It is a situation that former head coach Ange Postecoglou became all too familiar with during his spell in North London. The Greek-Australian tactician guided Spurs to its first piece of silverware in 17 years last season, with our boys defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final.

He stayed true to his promise of delivering a major trophy in his second season; however, a dismal Premier League season and a 17th-place finish culminated in Ange Postecoglou’s sacking. It was a baffling decision from former CEO Daniel Levy, especially given Ange appeared to be building something special at the club. Thomas Frank replaced Ange and only lasted nine months into the job, which proved how bad Levy’s decision to hire the Dane at first place.

A shocking revelation from the West Ham backroom has rubbed heavy salt into the wounds of the N17 faithful following a disastrous weekend in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur‘s horrifying reality as the club hangs by a thread following a catastrophic 0-3 defeat against Nottingham Forest. This result has left the club sitting a point above the dreaded relegation zone. Adding further misery to the situation is a revelation from the East End involving West Ham assistant Paco Jemez.

The outspoken Spaniard officially claimed he previously denied a formal offer to join the coaching staff to work alongside Nuno Espirito Santo. West Ham’s central account brought this to light on X recently, much to the delight of rival supporters. They posted, “Paco Jemez says he rejected an offer to join Nuno at Tottenham a few years ago.”

Jemez has since been credited with transforming the defensive resolve and fighting spirit of the Hammers since his arrival in January. His side recently secured a vital 2-1 victory in North London, which helped close a massive 12-point gap between the two clubs. While West Ham was easily beaten 0-2 by Aston Villa on Sunday, the gap remains just 1 point.

Paco Jemez and West Ham can send Tottenham packing to the Championship

Paco brings a wildly aggressive tactical approach and famously read the riot act to his own head coach on the touchline recently over substitutions. This raw passion has resonated deeply with rival fans while the Lilywhites continue to look completely bereft of confidence on the pitch. Igor Tudor is currently struggling to motivate his extremely fragile squad at the most critical stage of the season.

The North Londoners continue to search for any consistent form before a daunting trip to face Sunderland. Nuno Espirito Santo could officially dump Tottenham into the bottom 3 with a win over Wolves in their next outing.The board faces intense scrutiny today as relegation feels uncomfortably close for everyone involved. Survival remains the only priority for this football club right now as the clock continues to tick fast.

The gifted academy winger hints at extending his Scottish Premiership adventure following a humiliating weekend that pushed the Lilywhites closer to the Championship drop.

The atmosphere inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is growing increasingly hostile following Sunday afternoon. A humiliating 0-3 defeat against Nottingham Forest has dragged the North Londoners right back into the relegation mire. While the senior squad collapses under the guidance of Igor Tudor, a different story is unfolding elsewhere. Mikey Moore is currently enjoying a phenomenal loan spell.

The gifted winger, with a market value of €16m has thrived since Rangers appointed Danny Rohl and adopted a much more attacking philosophy. He is finally getting the regular minutes required to fulfill his massive potential. Naturally, the N17 faithful hoped their prized asset would return to bolster the ranks next season. However, the latest updates from Scotland suggest the teenager is heavily conflicted about his immediate future.

Speaking to Andy Newport of the Daily Record, the attacker kept his cards close to his chest regarding a return. Moore explicitly stated that he will “see how the season ends” and “who comes in” before finding the best solution. The starlet described the loan as “unbelievable” for his growth. He even suggested he would “love to stay” if the situation is right.

A massive wake up call for the boardroom as top prospects eye an exit

These comments serve as a devastating reality check for the boardroom. Joe Soriano of Hotspur HQ recently highlighted that choosing between European football in Glasgow and a Championship scrap in N17 is a no-brainer for the player. The North London institution can no longer guarantee the stability or the developmental platform that a young attacker desperately needs.

The hierarchy must take these warning signs seriously before a mass exodus begins. A talent of this magnitude should be the cornerstone of any future rebuild at the club. The board needs to present a clear roadmap to ensure Moore commits his long-term future to the Lilywhites. Time is rapidly running out to fix this broken project before the summer window opens.

Tottenham’s defensive lapses were punished ruthlessly by Nottingham Forest in the 3-0 win.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at home saw their opponents leapfrog them in the table. The pressure is building on Igor Tudor as he searches for his search for first Premier League victory as Spurs boss continued.

Nottingham Forest, led by Vitor Pereira, got their tactics absolutely spot on. After keeping the hosts at bay in the opening 20-25 minutes, they started getting more on the ball and threatening Igor Tudor’s side on the counter attack. The likes of Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White and Ibrahima Sangare bossed the midfield, disrupting any kind of rhythm of the Lilywhites. And moments before half-time, Nottingham Forest provided the first blow.

Igor Jesus leapt well to meet Nico William’s corner and bury his header past Guglielmo Vicario. Igor Tudor’s double substitution failed to stem the tide, as defensive lapses allowed Morgan Gibbs-White to double Forest’s lead after 62 minutes, before Taiwo Awoniyi sealed a vital win for the Tricky Trees three minutes from time.

Darren Bent slams Tottenham’s defending vs. Nottingham Forest

Tottenham have been woeful defensively under Tudor. They have leaked 20 goals in just seven games, which is quite worrying for a team battling relegation. The Croatian and his coaching staff have not managed to tighten their team’s defence, which was the need of the hour.

In the wake of Spurs’ defeat to Forest, Darren Bent slammed his former club’s defensive woes. He highlighted the Lilywhites’ failure to stem the flow of goals and keep clean sheets, especially at home.

“Defensively, that has been their problem. Can’t keep clean sheets, too easy to play against and awful at home,” Darren Bent said on the talkSPORT show (h/t Inside Futbol).

Spurs are easy to play against

Indeed, Tottenham have been very easy to play against at home. They have lacked the fear factor, with opponents not intimidated to face the Lilywhites at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fans have done their bit to create an atmosphere and make it difficult for the visitors, but the team has barely given them anything back this season.

Spurs’ soft underbelly has been one of the primary reasons for their awful record at home. Their last clean sheet in N17 came in January- a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. As for the Premier League, they have not kept a clean sheet in 12 games. Tottenham holding Brentford to a 0-0 draw at the Gtech Community at the start of January was the last time our boys managed to shut out the opponent.

For a relegation-battling team, having such poor defensive organisation is a mighty cause for concern.

Tottenham eye ‘this’ former Ligue 1 manager as replacement for Igor Tudor.

Tottenham Hotspur appear to have reached breaking point, with reports suggesting Igor Tudor stands set to see himself dismissed during the international break following yet another damaging defeat. A 3-0 loss at home to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest has not just deepened the crisis, it may well have sealed the manager’s fate.

There are bad results, and then there are results like this. Losing at home is one thing, but being comfortably swept aside by a side you are supposed to be competing with for survival is quite another. Forest, who arrived in North London with their own problems, made Spurs look worryingly short of both quality and fight.

Igor Jesus opened the scoring late in the first half, and from there it only unravelled further. Morgan Gibbs-White added a second before Taiwo Awoniyi completed the job after the break. Watching Gibbs-White stroll through their midfield to score will not have helped the mood inside the stadium, considering he sat on Spurs’ transfer radar for the longest time.

To dare is Tudor?

According to reports from Football365, club figures see the international break as the ideal moment to act. It gives them a window to reset and bring in a new voice. Maybe an attempt to salvage the two minutes that are left of the season. Tudor’s position, already under pressure, now looks untenable.

Attention has quickly turned to potential replacements, with Adi Hutter emerging as a serious contender. The Austrian is currently out of work, which makes him an appealing short-term option for a club that needs immediate change rather than a long negotiation process. His past success, including league titles and strong spells in Germany, suggests he has the experience to steady a struggling side, even if his recent stint at Monaco ended poorly.

Other names continue to circulate, including Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi, though those feel more like summer ambitions than realistic immediate fixes. Convincing a top-level manager to walk into a relegation battle at this stage of the season is no easy sell.

For now, the priority is survival. Tottenham need clarity, organisation, and above all, results. Whether a managerial change can provide that remains to be seen, but sticking with the current trajectory is no longer an option. More than the coaches, this has to be about the players feeling the heat too. Let’s see what the break holds. COYS.
