The Boy Hotspur

Sergio Reguilon is still looking for a way out of Tottenham, but he could be forced to stay and fight for his place.

Sergio Reguilon was an important part of Tottenham’s first-team plans following his £32 million move from Real Madrid back in 2020. But, he has been surplus to requirements for a while now and has been out on loan for the past two seasons.

The Spanish full-back was keen on securing a move away from the club in the recently concluded transfer window but things haven’t gone according to plan so far.

While speaking on GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs said: “Reguilon will be looking at the Turkish market and hoping that something materialises. But if it doesn’t, then he’ll sit tight at Spurs with the belief that, like Djed Spence, there might be an unlikely way back into the first team.”

Reguilon is not a part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans and Spurs were expected to sanction his departure with his contract running out in less than 12 months. Lille were keen on signing him on a temporary basis. But, it didn’t go through as Spurs were pushing for the loan deal to have an obligation to buy or at least a suitable buy option.

The North London club’s demands were beyond Lille’s reach and the move fell through. While the transfer window in Europe’s top five leagues is over, it still remains open in Turkiye and Reguilon is hoping he can secure a move away before their 13th September deadline. But, if things don’t go according to plan he will have to sit on the sidelines hoping for a chance to revive his career at the North London club.

Tottenham Hotspur’s active summer transfer window saw them spend €148.85 million on players like Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert, Archie Gray, and Lucas Bergvall.

However, fans hoping for additional reinforcements via free agent signings might be disappointed, as journalist Alasdair Gold has indicated that such moves are unlikely.

During a Q&A on football.london, Gold addressed speculation surrounding potential free agents like Adrien Rabiot.

He explained that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is not inclined to sign players just to fill gaps, emphasizing that new arrivals must fit his tactical vision for the club’s long-term development.

Gold suggested that unless Tottenham face significant injuries before the Premier League squad registration deadline, the club is unlikely to pursue short-term options through free agents.

Postecoglou’s approach has been consistent, particularly when it came to strengthening the defence, with the manager holding out for players that align with his system.

Gold responded to questions by saying:

“Unless there are any injuries… I’d be surprised if there was a free agent signing. Mainly because Postecoglou is always talking about not signing short-term, stop-gap players… He only wants players that fit his very specific system.”

Names like Memphis Depay, Anthony Martial, and Turkish international Yusuf Yazici have been linked with various clubs, including Spurs, but unless unexpected squad issues arise, Tottenham are unlikely to make any last-minute signings.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall faced tough criticism following his performance for Sweden in their 3-1 win over Azerbaijan.

Despite his strong pre-season form with Spurs, the 18-year-old struggled to make an impact during his substitute appearance in the Nations League opener.

Bergvall, who joined Tottenham earlier this summer in an £8.5 million transfer, had quickly caught the eye of Spurs’ coaching staff with his pre-season performances.

His promising development earned him a call-up to the Swedish national team, where he made his second international appearance.

Substituting Alex Douglas in the 72nd minute, Bergvall was expected to make a difference, but his short time on the pitch left much to be desired.

Swedish media outlet Fotballskanalen was particularly harsh, stating that the young midfielder “tried to deal with the ball and be fearless” but ultimately “failed at everything.”

The criticism pointed to his inability to make a meaningful contribution during his brief cameo, resulting in negative reviews.

Despite this setback, Bergvall’s talent is clear. Last season, while on loan in the Allsvenskan, he made 19 appearances, scoring six goals and providing five assists—demonstrating his potential.

Tottenham remains optimistic about his future, and the coaching staff will be focused on helping him overcome this transition to top-level football in Europe.

As Bergvall continues to mature, both Spurs and the Swedish national team will be hopeful that the experience will help him develop and deliver improved performances going forward.

A supercomputer has made a bold prediction about Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League campaign, suggesting the Lilywhites will reach the semifinals before being eliminated, as reported by Football London.

The AI analysis, provided by Grosvenor Sport, sees Spurs putting up a strong fight but ultimately falling short of securing the trophy.

With the new Europa League format featuring eight group-stage matches (four home, four away), the forecast suggests that Spurs will finish 11th overall, which would force them into a two-legged playoff round.

Despite the challenging path, the AI predicts victories for Tottenham against Rangers in the playoffs, followed by triumphs over Midtjylland and Union SG, setting up a semifinal showdown.

However, the supercomputer forecasts that Manchester United will be Tottenham’s undoing, with the Red Devils advancing to the final.

Manchester United are expected to finish in the top eight of the group stages, which would grant them a direct route to the last-16, and they are tipped to ultimately win the competition by defeating Athletic Club Bilbao in a dramatic final, settled on penalties.

While the AI has Tottenham coming close to Europa League glory, fans will hope the prediction underestimates their chances of going all the way under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance.

Bournemouth defender Ilya Zabarnyi has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 22-year-old central defender has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, but the player has revealed that he is focused on succeeding with Bournemouth and he has not spoken to his agent regarding a potential move away from the Cherries.

When asked about Tottenham’s interest, the player has revealed that he is not concerned about the transfer links for now and he is focusing on his football.

He said to Dynamo.Kiev.Ua: “There have always been rumours, but I haven’t talked to my agents about it and I’m focused on playing at Bournemouth. And then we’ll see, I don’t know anything yet.”

It is no secret that Tottenham need a central defender and the 22-year-old could prove to be a quality addition. He has proven his quality in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact at the North London club.

Tottenham currently have three quality central defenders in Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin. They could use another central defender and Zabarnyi would complete their defensive unit for the foreseeable future.

The opportunity to join Tottenham can be quite attractive and the 22-year-old could be tempted to secure a move to the North London club if there is a concrete proposal on the table.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official proposal in January. They need more quality and depth in the side if they want to secure Champions League qualification and fight for trophies this season.

He said to Football Insider: “Surely there’s only Daniel Levy that can construct a deal like that, isn’t there? It’s one of the strangest deals that I’ve ever seen, it’s an incredible deal for Tottenham to have.

“Actually, first rights over the player, and if I’m led to believe right what I’ve read, they get a sell-on clause if it’s not them.

“How can you have a piece of a player that’s never played for your club and a sell-on clause?

“If that’s not a Tottenham Hotspur contract I don’t know what is, it’s a great option all around.

“He’s a very, very good player, I think to have first refusal on the player, it’s a really good deal for Tottenham.

“He’s a first-class player, he would do well but there’s a lot of ifs and buts that can happen in the next 6 -12 months.

“The manager at Tottenham may have changed, the system may have changed, the player’s form may have changed.

“But to have basically Daniel Levy’s covered all bases he can bring a really, really good player in if he keeps developing in the same way as he does and the manager, whoever’s in charge at that time, wants him.

“If not, if they get outbid by a bigger and better club around Europe say a European giant, a Real Madrid, a Barcelona, they get a sell-on.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea continue to monitor Patrick Dorgu and they could return for him next summer.

The North London club have only managed four points in their first three league outings. It hasn’t been an ideal start for Tottenham but they surely did some great work in the recently concluded transfer window. While they significantly bolstered their squad, Ange Postecoglou’s team didn’t make any new additions to their backline despite being linked with quite a few stars.

Spurs were interested in the services of Danish defensive sensation Patrick Dorgu but they couldn’t go ahead with the move because of Lecce’s high asking price. They might not have succeeded in securing his services this summer but according to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are still keen on his signature and will continue to monitor him ahead of a potential move in the future.

The Italian transfer expert said via YouTube: “He was first of all in the list of Tottenham. One of the players Tottenham considered for the full-back position was Patrick Dorgu. Really appreciated by the club but not a deal to make this summer.

“Why? Because Patrick Dorgu was also on the list of Blue Co, so Chelsea, Strasbourg. The idea was to sign the player for Strasbourg and then potentially move to Chelsea.

“But for both Tottenham and Blue Co, Chelsea, Strasbourg group the deal was considered too expensive because Lecce asked more for than £30m-£35m more than this to get the deal done.

“Lecce believe that Dorgu is a super talent, so Chelsea, Tottenham, several clubs follow him and monitoring him but is still considered too expensive.

“They want to make an investment on him still not spending crazy money because the player still has to develop but Lecce always say more than £30m-£35m for the player this summer and he stayed at the club.

“But keep an eye on this player for the future because I’m sure Tottenham and Chelsea will keep monitoring him.”

Spurs already have Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie in their ranks. They do not really need another left-back but the North London club have preferred signing young players with huge potential and he seems to be an ideal fit as per their new transfer policy. Lecce’s £30-£35 million asking price was the major reason why Tottenham didn’t go ahead with the transfer in the summer and it still remains the biggest hurdle as he is still an unproven commodity in world football.

The North London club will continue to monitor him and could see him as an ideal long-term replacement for Ben Davies. While they haven’t been afraid of spending big bucks on young players, Lecce will have to lower their demands for the deal to go through. More importantly, Chelsea retain their interest in the 19-year-old and they won’t make it any easier for Tottenham.

Saudi Pro League clubs are eyeing a Bosman move for Tottenham Hotspur skipper Son Heung-min.

The North London club have endured a mixed start to the new season as they have only secured one win out of their first three league outings. While their overall form has been disappointing, skipper Son Heung-min has once again showcased his quality with two goals in the three outings.

The £190k-a-week South Korean international has been one of the mainstays since joining the club back in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen. While the 32-year-old still has a few years left in him, his long-term future at the club is uncertain with his contract running out in 2025. According to Fichajes, Saudi Pro League clubs are plotting a move for the Tottenham skipper.

Clubs in the Middle East have prepared a shortlist of high-profile names they will target in 2025 and Son is one of the names on their wishlist. They want to secure his services as a free agent and would be willing to table a massive financial offer to lure him away.

The South Korean superstar has contributed towards 248 goals (164 goals, 84 assists) during his time in North London. He remains an integral part of their first-team setup and Spurs are expected to offer him a new deal in the near future. However, the management chaired by Daniel Levy has strict policies regarding offering new deals to ageing players, as a result, clubs from Saudi Arabia can surely try and lure him away with a massive contract offer.

Lucas Bergvall could soon get his big break at Tottenham Hotspur with his first start on the horizon.

The North London club struck a deal with Swedish outfit Djurgardens at the start of the year to secure the services of Lucas Bergvall. While there was a significant amount of interest in the teenager’s services, they managed to beat the competition and he made the move to London in the summer.

The Swedish midfielder has had an impressive start to life at Tottenham. He was quite impressive during the pre-season and has been involved in all three of their Premier League fixtures so far. Bergvall has come off the bench to rack up 31 minutes so far and according to GIVEMESPORT, he is all set to make his first start of the season later this month.

Spurs are gearing up to face arch-rivals Arsenal after the end of the international break. While Bergvall could play a part in the North London derby, he is unlikely to star. But the teenager could get his first start in the Tottenham shirt in their Carabao Cup tie against Championship outfit Coventry City as they will most likely look to rest James Maddison.

The young attacking midfielder is desperate to burst onto the scene at Spurs after the international break and the cup fixtures could help him convince Ange Postecoglou about an even bigger role in the team. He has recently featured in his first competitive game for Sweden and the next few weeks could have a big say on how his debut season in England will pan out.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 18-year-old midfielder Lucas Bergvall recently shared a light-hearted story from his initiation into the team this summer.

After joining Spurs in July 2024 following an £8.5 million transfer agreed earlier in the year, Bergvall had to perform the traditional initiation song in front of the squad.

Opting for ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” the Swedish youngster’s performance wasn’t exactly a hit, as he humorously admitted to being playfully booed by his teammates.

Speaking to Aftonbladet, Bergvall said:

“I sang ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’. It was really, really bad. I was booed afterwards.”

Despite the teasing, the episode highlights the tight-knit camaraderie within the Spurs squad, showing the good-natured atmosphere among the players.

While his singing may have missed the mark, Bergvall’s performances on the pitch are anything but.

Bergvall has already made a positive impression at the club. His standout performances during pre-season caught the eye, and manager Ange Postecoglou has shown faith in the midfielder, bringing him off the bench in all three of Tottenham’s Premier League matches so far. His consistent contributions are a testament to his growing role within the team.

As the season unfolds, Spurs supporters will be keen to see how Bergvall continues to develop and assert himself further in the squad.
