The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered another major injury blow in what has already been a difficult season.

Spurs’ key attacker Dejan Kulusevski is set to be sidelined due to a foot injury, as reported by Daily Mail.

Tottenham injury woes: Dejan Kulusevski sidelined with injury

As per the report, the Swedish international is currently undergoing medical evaluations to determine the severity of the issue, but it has been confirmed that he will miss the upcoming Europa League fixture against AZ Alkmaar as well as the weekend’s Premier League match against Bournemouth.

Kulusevski has been a key creative force for Tottenham this season, making his absence a significant blow for Ange Postecoglou’s side as they push for European progression and look to improve their domestic standing.

It remains uncertain whether the 24-year-old will return before the international break, leaving Spurs with a void in their attacking setup.

Kulusevski has been an outstanding signing for Tottenham

Kulusevski initially joined the Lilywhites on an 18-month loan from Juventus in January 2022 and quickly established himself as a key player. In his first half-season, he registered five goals and eight assists, prompting the club to make his move permanent in the following year, securing his contract until 2028.

This season, he has been one of Tottenham’s standout performers despite the team’s inconsistencies, contributing 10 goals and 10 assists across 42 appearances in all competitions.

His impact is further reflected in his underlying statistics, as he ranks among the Premier League’s top playmakers. He sits in the top 10 for Expected Assisted Goals (6.1), Key Passes (63), and Shot-Creating Actions (122), highlighting his influence in the final third.

With Tottenham still in contention for Europa League success and aiming to climb the Premier League table, having Kulusevski back as soon as possible will be crucial.

Postecoglou will be hoping for a swift recovery, as the Swede’s creativity and attacking presence are vital for Spurs’ ambitions in the latter stages of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Rayo Vallecano defender Andrei Ratiu at the end of the season.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, the 26-year-old right back is on their radar and he will cost around €25 million at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an offer to sign him in the summer.

They have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal and signing another right back would be quite surprising. Tottenham should look to invest in a quality central defender instead. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Ratiu would be a quality acquisition. He has shown his quality in La Liga and he has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.

Apart from being a reliable defender, he is exceptional going forward and he could add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Ratiu is highly-rated in La Liga

Borja Jimenez from Leganes has previously claimed that the 26-year-old is “one of the best” full backs in the league and it is no surprise that top clubs are keen on securing his signature. Tottenham are not the only ones keen on signing the Romanian and they will face competition from Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen.

The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his talents, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs decide to pay up. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.

The defender could be excited about a potential move to the Premier League as well. It would be the ideal step up in his career right now. He will look to prove himself at the highest level and the opportunity to join a big club like Tottenham could be hard to turn down for him.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Sporting CP defensive midfielder Morten Hjulmand.

The 25-year-old has done quite well for the Portuguese outfit and he is a key player for his country as well. His performances have attracted the attention of top Premier League clubs, and journalist Ekrem Konur has now revealed that Manchester United are interested in signing the player as well. He has also claimed that the midfielder is keen on a move to England.

It is no secret that Tottenham need a quality defensive midfielder, especially with Yves Bissouma linked with a potential exit in the summer. Hjulmand could be the ideal replacement for the Mali International. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League and he could be a key player for Tottenham in the coming season.

Hjulmand could fancy a big move

The player is entering the peak years of his career and he will want to compete at the highest level. The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite exciting. Tottenham have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly.

The midfielder has an €80 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up. Sporting CP are unlikely to let a key player like him leave for cheap.

Meanwhile, Manchester United need a quality alternative to Casemiro, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the Denmark International. Ruben Amorim knows the player well from his time at the Portuguese club, and a reunion with him could be attractive for the player.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 28-year-old will be in the final year of his contract at the end of the season and multiple clubs are reportedly keen on securing his signature.

Sources have informed TheBoyHotspur that the player is on the radar of clubs like Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton. Clubs in France are keen on the player as well, and they could test Tottenham’s resolve with an offer of around €25-30 million.

Meanwhile, the North London club are keen on the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, and Tottenham are planning to sell the Mali International and invest the proceeds from his departure on a move for the 21-year-old Premier League midfielder.

The former Brighton star has done reasonably well since the move to Tottenham, but he can be quite inconsistent. Given his contract situation, this could be the right time for Tottenham to cash in on the player. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.

Bissouma set for talks over his future

Meanwhile, a report from football insider has claimed that the player is set for showdown talks with the north London club regarding his future. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to let the player leave at the end of the season.

The midfielder has not been a regular starter for Tottenham in recent weeks, and he will want gametime assurances from the club before deciding on his future.

It will be interesting to see whether the 28-year-old ends up staying at Tottenham beyond this season. It would be ideal for all parties if he moves on in search of regular playing time. Tottenham need a younger alternative with more potential.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze in recent months.

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has established himself as a key player for the Eagles in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he could be a quality acquisition for Tottenham as well.

Eze is versatile enough to operate in the attacking midfield role as well as in the wide areas. He has six goals and seven assists to his name in all competitions this season. His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players. The move to Tottenham could be ideal for him at this stage of his career.

Tottenham need more cutting edge in the final third, and the England international would be the ideal addition for them.

Romano confirms Tottenham interest in Eberechi Eze

Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that the player has been on Tottenham’s radar since 2023, and he is highly rated at the club. However, any deal could be difficult to pull off. He is likely to be an expensive acquisition and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay a premium for him.

He said to GMS: “He’s on Spurs list since 2023, he’s always been highly rated at the club. But the release clause is very expensive and the payment for the clause is not allowed in 3/4 years as usually happens, so that’s what makes the deal difficult – and there are more clubs also keen.”

Eze is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could hit the ground running at Tottenham if he joins the club. He could improve them going forward and add some much needed unpredictability to their attack.

The player is at the peak of his power, and he will want to compete at high-level. The move to Tottenham could be quite attractive for him.

Tottenham Hotspur have several key squad decisions to make ahead of the summer transfer window, with multiple players facing uncertain futures at the club.

One of the biggest question marks surrounds Timo Werner, whose loan spell from RB Leipzig is set to expire at the end of the season.

Despite having the option to sign him permanently, Spurs have reportedly opted against making the move long-term, signalling that the German forward will likely return to his parent club.

Bryan King: Timo Werner is not Tottenham material

Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has offered a blunt assessment of Werner’s time at the club, stating that Spurs are making the right choice in parting ways with the 28-year-old.

King believes that Werner has never truly fit into Ange Postecoglou’s system and lacks the quality needed to be a long-term asset for the team.

He added that while the forward will likely remain in the squad until his loan deal concludes, his departure will not be a significant loss for the club.

Speaking to Tottenham News, King said:

“I think he will be part of the squad until the end of the season.

“That is the agreement that Spurs have with Leipzig. However, I’m quite pleased that Spurs have made this decision, I would have made the decision in the winter transfer window.

“He certainly isn’t going to be a miss for me, he isn’t a Tottenham player, he never has been. He is not good enough for the club. Therefore, I would imagine he will remain as a squad player until the loan is finished.”

Werner has continued to struggle in the Premier League

Werner initially arrived at Spurs in January 2024 on loan and made an immediate impression by assisting Rodrigo Bentancur’s equalizer in a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

However, despite a promising start, his overall contributions have been underwhelming. He has managed just one goal and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions this season, with most of his game time coming from the bench.

This is not the first time he has failed to make a mark in the Premier League. He spent two years at Chelsea between 2020 and 2022, scoring just 10 goals in the league in 56 appearances.

Tottenham’s attacking depth has also strengthened significantly, with the arrival of Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich earlier this year. The 19-year-old forward has already shown glimpses of his potential, making it increasingly unlikely that Spurs will retain Werner.

Additionally, the return of Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson from injury has further reduced Werner’s role in the squad.

With Spurs focusing on younger talents for the future, all signs point to Werner’s time in North London coming to an end this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have endured a difficult campaign, currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League and suffering early eliminations from both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. However, despite the challenges, one of the positives to come out of this season is the resurgence of Djed Spence.

Spence, who returned to Spurs earlier this season following loan spells, was initially not part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans.

However, due to a defensive injury crisis, he was given opportunities and has since delivered impressive performances, forcing Ange Postecoglou to change his stance on him.

His strong form has now sparked speculation about his long-term future, with reports suggesting that Tottenham are considering extending his contract beyond its current expiration in 2028.

Tottenham could reward Djed Spence with a new contract

Spurs insider John Wenham has hinted that a new deal could be in the pipeline, potentially keeping Spence at the club until 2030 or 2031.

Wenham also highlighted Spence’s increasing value, estimating that the full-back is already worth over £30 million, with his price expected to rise even further due to his versatility and homegrown status.

Speaking to Tottenham News, the pundit stated:

“He has got a contract with the club until 2028.

“Based on his current form, I wouldn’t be surprised if another contract extension is being lined up for the summer which would see Spence extend until 2030 or 2031.

“I just think he is reaching new heights now, and he is easily worth £30million-plus already, and that value will only continue to skyrocket. He is homegrown and he can play on both sides of the pitch.”

Spence’s journey at Tottenham since signing in 2022

Spence’s journey at Tottenham has had its up and downs. After signing with the club in 2022, Conte made it public that the player was not his preferred signing. He struggled to break into the first team and was sent on multiple loan spells. However, he returned to North London ahead of the ongoing season and has since taken full advantage of his opportunities.

The 24-year-old has made 20 appearances across all competitions thus far, contributing two goals and two assists. He has also impressed by playing as a left-back, despite being a natural right-back.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently praising him following Spurs’ narrow 1-0 defeat to City.

With his continued development, Tottenham may see Spence as a crucial part of their defence, making a contract extension a logical step in securing his long-term future.

Tottenham Hotspur made some necessary additions in its squad in the winter transfer window by securing the loan signing of highly-rated French forward Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.

The 19-year-old arrived at Spurs for the remainder of the season, with the club holding an option to make the move permanent in the summer for a reported fee of £50 million.

Signing him was no easy task, as Tel initially refused to join Spurs despite the two clubs agreeing a deal. However, a call from Ange Postecoglou helped him change his mind as a last-minute loan transfer was completed.

Since joining the North London side, Tel has been gradually integrating into Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Wasting no time in making an impact, Tel scored his first goal for the club in stoppage time during a 2-1 FA Cup defeat against Aston Villa. And while, he has not scored since, he has looked threatening whenever he has been on the pitch.

Mathys Tel eager to get close with Bissouma, Sarr, Odobert and Son

In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Tel expressed his excitement about getting to know his new teammates. He highlighted Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Wilson Odobert, and captain Heung-min Son as the players he is most eager to connect with.

When asked by the presented about which Tottenham teammate he is most excited to get to know, Tel said:

“The French player like Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Wilson Odobert and specially (Heung-min) Son.”

Tel, who developed through Rennes’ youth system before earning a move to Bayern Munich in 2022, has already built a strong reputation as one of the brightest young attacking prospects in Europe.

During his time with Bayern, he became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer in both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. He also showcased his ability in the Champions League, netting decisive late winners against Manchester United and Copenhagen during the 2023–24 campaign.

However, with limited opportunities under Vincent Kompany at Bayern, Tel sought regular first-team football, prompting his loan move to Tottenham.

As Tel looks to settle in and forge connections with his teammates, it remains to be seen whether the club will try signing him on a permanent deal in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked for the move away from the club, and Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on securing his signature.

According to a report from Give Me Sport, Tottenham are prepared to let the player move on in the summer. Although there is no doubt that the former Brighton midfielder has shown his quality in the Premier League, he can be quite inconsistent, and he has had his fair share of injury problems as well.

Tottenham could certainly use a more reliable defensive midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if they can replace the Mali international adequately.

Crystal Palace need more quality in the side and Bissouma would be a superb acquisition. He is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Selhurst Park.

His teammate James Maddison described him as a “ridiculous” player earlier this season.

Meanwhile, OGC Nice and Marseille are keen on the player as well and he would be open to a move to Ligue 1. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops, and where the player ends up.

Crystal Palace are expected to follow up on their interest with an enquiry for the midfielder soon. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer to sign the player. Tottenham paid £25 million for the midfielder when they signed him from Brighton, and they will probably look to make a profit if they are to sell him.

The 28-year-old midfielder will look to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football. He needs to join a club where he will play regularly, and the likes of Crystal Palace could be the ideal destination.

Johnny Cardoso has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season, and the Real Betis midfielder has not responded to links with the Premier League club.

In an interview with AS via SportWitness, the midfielder has explained that he is not concerned about any potential move at the end of the season, and he will let his father and agent sort out his future in due course of time. The midfielder is enjoying his time at the Spanish club, and he is focused on his performances for now.

“I don’t think about it; it’s in the hands of my father and my agent. I try to enjoy myself and to evolve. Things will happen if my performance in the team is good,” he said.

Tottenham can sign the player on a bargain

Tottenham secured a first refusal option on the player when they sold Giovani Lo Celso to Real Betis. They can sign the midfielder for a fee of around €25 million at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward and exercise that clause in the summer.

The 23-year-old has been quite impressive in La Liga and he has the ability to do well in the Premier League as well. He could be an important player for Tottenham and he will add some much needed quality and depth to the side.

The midfielder has a €80 million release clause in his contract, but Tottenham have an opportunity to sign him for a reasonable amount of money. They should look to take up the option and get the deal done.

The United States international is a quality player and he will help Tottenham improve. For €25 million, his signing could prove to be a bargain in future.
