The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye.

The Senegal International has done quite Everton and his performances have attracted the attention of clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool as well. According to a report from Footmercato, Tottenham have ‘made inquiries’ to sign the 25-year-old, and it will be interesting to see if they follow it up with an official offer.

Spurs could use Iliman Ndiaye

They need more cutting-edge in the final third, and signing the versatile Everton star could prove to be a wise decision. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at the London club.

He has been labelled as “absolutely fantastic”, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for bigger clubs. The opportunity to join Tottenham will be exciting for him. He will want to compete in European football with them and fight for trophies.

However, he is highly rated at Everton. They will not want to lose a quality player like him. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can offer a lucrative sum to convince them.

Can Spurs sign Ndiaye?

Tottenham have a talented squad at their disposal, but they need more depth in order to fight across multiple competitions. Ndiaye will add goals and creativity to the side. He is young enough to improve further and develop into a top-class player.

Tottenham should look to move quickly in order to beat the competition for his signature.

The north London club started the season well, but they have lost their way in recent weeks. They need to get over the inconsistency problems if they want to finish high up on the table. They will hope to fight for trophies as well.

To my mind, you pay your money, you take your choice. Football isn’t a religious cult; it’s a sport. Fans are paying through the eyeballs, and they quite rightly expect more. I’d charge supporters £10 a head for all games, and you watch the atmosphere improve.

The press has firmly sided with Frank

The Athletic Praised Frank’s criticism as “unacceptable” booing, noting Vicario’s post-match grace (“it’s part of football”). Highlighted the growing fan-manager disconnect. Their tone was supportive of Frank; empathetic to Vicario.

Over at the BBC, Sutton defended Frank, saying fans should back him. Which is neutral-reporting with pro-unity punditry. Meh.

The Guardian described Frank’s anger as justified, quoting him on ‘supporting each other when you’re on the pitch,’ and noted a rancorous atmosphere with half-time/full-time boos.

The Daily Mail’s Live blog called Frank “right to feel like that”; and a later article emphasised his hit back at “UNACCEPTABLE” boos. Speculates on his future amid “breaking point” with fans. Which was a little more balanced but leaned toward validating Frank’s frustration.

Football London detailed every word of Frank’s “irritated” presser; clarified he targeted Vicario-specific booing as the issue (“You can’t go after one player”). This typifies the ‘don’t bite that hand that feeds you’ attitude of the press room boys.

The incident underscores Tottenham’s mid-season crisis, with Frank’s comments risking escalation in fan tensions but also rallying calls for unity.

Vicario downplayed the boos as “part of football,” but the episode has fuelled speculation about Frank’s tenure—only Wolves have a worse home record this season.

Frank’s passion is admirable, but results must improve to heal the divide.

Our view on the fan reaction

Fans are a vital part of the story; if you don’t want the audience participation, then lock them out.

It is condescending to demand that supporters who, generally speaking, have spent fortunes on travel, food and accommodation, have to react like opera goers.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, they will face competition from Brighton and Aston Villa as well. The 17-year-old is highly rated in Belgium and has a bright future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham.

Nathan De Cat would be a quality addition

He can operate as a deep-lying playmaker as well as a defensive midfielder. Tottenham could use more depth in that area of the pitch, and the 17-year-old could develop into an important player for them.

According to the report, the player will cost around £30 million. Johan Lange is reportedly pushing hard to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an official proposal in the coming weeks. The player is likely to be on the move in January, and Tottenham should look to act quickly in order to beat their rivals to his signature.

De Cat could fancy a move

The opportunity to join the North London club will be quite exciting for the young midfielder. It would be a major step in his career, and he will look to test himself in the Premier League. He might not be a regular starter for Tottenham right now, but they could groom him into a first-team player in the near future.

If the player manages to fulfil his potential with them, the £30 million investment could look like a masterstroke in the long term.

De Cat is already an important player for Anderlecht, and he has the maturity to compete at the highest level. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can get the deal across the line during the January transfer window.

The legacy of Levy has put us in this mess, and moaning about Frank is academic at best. Yes, you are allowed to be disappointed; we all are, but clucking like wet hens will achieve the square root of nothing. Today is unlikely to improve your mood.

Tottenham sit 9th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 12 games (5 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses), boasting a +6 goal difference but plagued by inconsistency.

We’ve won just two of their last eight across all competitions, including a 4-1 thrashing at Arsenal on November 23 and a 5-3 loss to PSG in the Champions League on November 26, where they conceded 11 goals in three matches.

Our only home league win this season came on the opening day against Burnley; since then, they’ve earned just five points from six home games—the second-worst record in the division.

Thomas Frank faces a defensive crisis with vice-captain Cristian Romero suspended (five yellows). Kevin Danso is likely to partner with Micky van de Ven at centre-back.

Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke remain sidelined until late December, but Richarlison is fit after scoring against Arsenal. Pape Matar Sarr could return from illness.

Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Johnson, Simons, Kudus; Richarlison.

Tottenham’s front line, led by Richarlison (in red-hot form with goals in back-to-back games) and supported by Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons, will test Fulham’s solid back three. But Spurs have conceded in 80% of their last five games—expect Jiménez to exploit that.

João Palhinha’s tenacity for Tottenham could neutralize Fulham’s creative duo of Iwobi and Harry Wilson, but Spurs’ “continental fatigue” from midweek Europe might blunt their press.

Both sides are vulnerable to set pieces; Tottenham have scored from corners in three of their last five, while Fulham’s Andersen is an aerial threat.

Fulham’s counter-attacking style under Silva suits this matchup, especially against Tottenham’s high line. Spurs will most likely push for width through Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, but their home woes (only 1.2 goals per game at the stadium) suggest a low-scoring grind.

The Lewis Family need to do more and give fans something to be cheerful about.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Manchester City attacker Savinho.

The Brazilian has struggled for regular opportunities at the Premier League club, and he needs a fresh start. He is highly across Europe, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Tottenham. They need more cutting-edge in the final third, and he could provide that.

He is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. Regular football at Spurs would be ideal for his development as well. Sitting on the bench at Manchester City does not benefit him.

Thomas Frank might be able to get the best out of the player.

Tottenham backed to close January deal

Keith Wyness has claimed on Football Insider that a deal might be possible in January. He expects Tottenham to get the signing done for €50 million.

“There are a lot of City fans complaining about him, et cetera, et cetera. But I do think he’s a quality player.

“I think a change of scenery would obviously do him the world of good. And I think it’ll give Spurs a chance to get a better deal with City.

“And I do expect something like this to happen in January. So I do expect probably a bit of not so much cut-price, but certainly lower than expected, maybe around a 50 million mark even with bonuses for a player of that quality.

“And I think a fresh start with Spurs under Thomas Frank with do him the world of good and with these Spurs, the world of good as well. So I expect that will happen. I think it’ll work for both parties.”

Can Spurs seal Savinho signing?

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done. They have the resources, and they need more quality if they want to do well this season. They have lost their way after an impressive start to the season, and they will look to bounce back strongly in the second half.

Signing the right players could help them finish in a respectable position and push for trophies.

Tottenham Hotspur signed Randal Kolo Muani on loan during the summer transfer window.

The French international has had his fair share of injury problems, but he showed his quality against PSG recently.

Tottenham will hope that he can stay fit and score goals consistently in the coming months. According to Dean Jones, they could look to sign him permanently if the loan deal works out.

It is no secret that Tottenham need more depth in the attacking unit. Kolo Muani could be the ideal acquisition for them. The 26-year-old French International is looking for regular gametime at Tottenham will be able to provide him with that platform. A permanent move might be ideal for all parties.

Tottenham to sign Randal Kolo Muani permanently?

“Tottenham were so happy to sign Kolo Muani, and now we are starting to see his true qualities,” Jones told TEAMtalk.

“They always felt that when he was back to his usual sharp self, they would have one of the best goal scorers in the league, and his finishing in Paris this week was a sign of that.

“They think there is so much more to come from him, and there is still every chance that this could turn out to be a longer-term signing.

“He’s looking for somewhere to thrive and feel happy, and Spurs need someone they can rely on for goals. This loan spell suited everyone, but I know that Spurs do have an eye on trying to make it permanent if it works out.”

Kolo Muani is a top talent

Kolo Muani was highly rated during his time in Germany. He has not been able to hit top form in recent seasons due to injury problems, and he will look to get back to his best once again. There is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and his performance against PSG will certainly give Tottenham great hope.

It remains to be seen whether he can perform at a high level and earn a permanent move to the London club.

Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing Manchester City attacker Savinho during the summer transfer window.

However, Manchester City decided against selling him. So far, the Brazilian has not had regular opportunities and a report from TEAMtalk claims that Tottenham could make a new attempt in January. The report claims that Tottenham will iron out their transfer plans for the January window over the next week.

Tottenham set to spend in January

A budget of around £100 million has been made available, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right addition. They could use more quality and depth on the flanks. The Brazilian would be a quality addition. He has shown his quality during his cameo with Manchester City and in the La Liga before the move to England.

He will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the Tottenham attack. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Savinho would improve Spurs

The Brazilian is highly rated across Europe, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has previously claimed that he is “on the precipice of being world class”. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are willing to sell him in January.

There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition for Tottenham, and they could groom him into a key player. He needs regular opportunities, and the north London club can provide them.

With the World Cup next summer, the Brazilian will look to cement his place on the national team. He needs to play regularly for that to happen. The move to Tottenham would be ideal for him. It remains to be seen whether he decides to force an exit in January.

Tottenham fell to a thrilling 5-3 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, with Randal Kolo Muani starring for Spurs in a two-goal, one-assist performance.

Despite leading twice, defensive errors from Cristian Romero and Pape Matar Sarr proved costly, allowing Vitinha to bag a hat-trick for the hosts.

Guglielmo Vicario 4 The history books will simply add another 5 goals conceded to his page. His passing or distribution, as we find ourselves calling it, is shocking at 59%; he should be replaced.

Djed Spence 4 Another one that has difficulty with the basics, like ensuring the ball only ever goes to teammates, 71% passing accuracy isn’t bloody good enough. Pressed well, but clearly thinks he’s a superstar.

Micky van de Ven 4 Another duff showing, is everything alright at home? Offered little defensively, failed to close down shooters, and provided minimal recovery with his pace. Poor overall in a chaotic backline.

Cristian Romero 3 Whose side was he on? I published this critique on him yesterday, and nobody read it. This fan base needs a check-up from the neck up. Sloppy passes led directly to two PSG goals, plus a handball penalty concession for the fifth.

Pedro Porro 4 two accurate crosses from 7 attempts, and a passing accuracy that was on par with The Vicar at 58%. Not good enough.

Pape Matar Sarr 5 A touch of the old Harry Winks – with most of his passing achieving the square root of nothing. Not good enough.

Rodrigo Bentancur 4 See Pape Matar Sarr. Lacked authority in deeper roles.

Lucas Bergvall 6 A 76-minute cameo, Yes, it was a good one, yes, he’s recovering from a head injury, but we were shortchanged.

Richarlison 7 ‘Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.’ Let’s get him sold before he gets sectioned again.

Muani 8 Outstanding. Who saw that coming? More, please.

This result leaves Tottenham in 16th in the Champions League standings with two wins from five games, highlighting attacking promise but defensive fragility under Thomas Frank.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a mixed start to the season under Thomas Frank so far.

They have impressed in some games, but they have been very inconsistent. According to a report from The Telegraph, some of the Tottenham players believe that Frank has made too many changes too soon, and that has resulted in the inconsistencies.

Thomas Frank has made too many changes

The same report has outlined that only Wolves and Chelsea have made more changes to the starting 11 this season in the Premier League. Tottenham have made 29 changes in the Premier League matches so far. They are clearly lacking in stability under the new manager. It will be interesting to see if Frank can address that problem and pick a team and stick to it in the coming weeks.

Tottenham will need stability if they are to perform consistently at the highest level. Making too many changes will only unsettle the players.

Meanwhile, the manager retained the faith of the club hierarchy. They believe that it is a long-term project and they are prepared to back the Denmark manager. However, Frank cannot afford to lose the dressing room. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.

Can Frank deliver a successful season?

Tottenham have a talented squad, and they should be pushing for Champions League qualification. They should look to do well in the competitions as well. They managed to win the UEFA Europa League after a difficult season last year, and Frank will be expected to deliver another trophy this season.

They have spent a substantial amount of money during the summer transfer window, and missing out on a top-four finish would be a devastating blow. It will be interesting to see if Frank can get his team firing on a consistent basis in the coming months.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Porto striker Samu Aghehowa.

The 21-year-old Spanish international is highly rated across Europe, and clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United are interested in the player as well. He is reportedly valued at €90 million according to a report from CaughtOffside.

Samu Aghehowa is an elite prospect

Tottenham are currently leading the race for his signature, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. He is highly rated across Europe, and the official FIFA website hails him as a talent who could dominate the sport like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland in future.

“You might prefer to have a forward who gets involved in the build-up or who makes runs in behind, like Samu does,” former Spanish striker Jonathan Soriano told FIFA.

“We need forwards like him because that’s the direction football is heading in. It’s a quicker, more physical game nowadays. Players like him are extremely valuable. Samu is still very young and there’s massive scope for him to improve, but that’s no bad thing. He has so much potential, so much room to develop and a bright future ahead of him.”

Tottenham need Aghehowa

It is no secret that Tottenham need more quality in the final third, and the technically gifted attacker could prove to be an excellent addition. He has an imposing physique as well, and he could be the ideal fit for Premier League football.

He has been a prolific goal scorer for Porto since joining the club, and he has the quality to do well in English football. He could prove to be an upgrade on Dominic Solanke, who has not been able to score goals consistently. Aghehowa has 36 goals in 60 matches for Porto.

Spurs need to improve in that area of the pitch if they want to fight for major trophies. A quality striker could make a big difference for them. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal for the 21-year-old attacker across the line.

Aghehowa will certainly hope to test himself at the highest level, and moving to the London club will be attractive for him.
