The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Croatian International midfielder Luka Sucic.

The 23-year-old has done quite well for La Liga outfit Real Sociedad, and his performances have attracted the attention of top teams. As per Fichajes, he is valued at €25 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up for him.

Spurs could use Luka Sucic

They need more quality in the middle of the park, and the 23-year-old will add control, composure and drive to the side. Tottenham could use more physicality in the side as well, and the Croatian would be the ideal fit. He has been described as a “very powerful” player in recent months. He has the qualities to thrive in the Premier League, and he could be an asset for Tottenham.

The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his potential. He could easily justify the investment and prove to be a bargain in future.

Sucic could be tempted

The opportunity to join Spurs will be exciting for him. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level. Regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. It remains to be seen whether Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.

Sucic is a young player with a lot of potential, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. Thomas Frank might be able to bring out the best in him. Tottenham have a talented squad, and they will be hoping to win major trophies. Adding more depth to the side would be a wise decision.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 28-year-old Brazilian is not an indispensable asset for the club, and former Tottenham scout Mick Brown believes that he could be sold in January.

Richarlison has not been able to live up to the expectations since the big-money move from Everton. It would be ideal for Tottenham to cash in on the player and bring in an upgrade. They could use another reliable goal scorer who can find the back of the net regularly. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals regularly, and Richarlison has been very inconsistent as well.

The South American could use a fresh start, and a move away from Tottenham could be ideal for him as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Richarlison exit likely

“I think the time has come for Richarlison to move on,” he told Football Insider.

“He’s never been a player who the club are completely prepared to put their faith in, they know what he can do at his best, but too often he won’t be at that level.

“With Solanke out injured, he’s had a good start to the season, but they don’t see him as the long-term answer to their issues leading the line.

“So if a good offer comes in for him in January, then I expect Tottenham will be ready to let him go.

“Given everybody’s fit, I’m not sure he would have a regular place in Thomas Frank’s team.”

Where will Richarlison end up?

The striker has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months. Clubs from the MLS, as well as those in Brazil, are thought to be monitoring his situation. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

He will look to join a competitive team, but he will be able to compete at a high level and fight for trophies. Despite the performances at Tottenham, he remains a quality player, and he could be an asset for the right team.

Good morning, all, and welcome to another instalment in this series of daily shorts from The Boy Hotspur himself, sharing opinions on and insights from behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

Salacious gossip reaches me that we haven’t heard the last of Daniel Levy, and reports of his demise being ‘on the cards for some time’ and so forth are wildly off beam.

Look at the facts; bundled out the door after an internal enquiry, all corporate electronic devices recaptured, including his phones.

I’m advised there’s more to come.

Well, Spurs’ midfielder, Yves Bissouma, has suffered what appears to be a serious ankle injury during a World Cup qualifying match for Mali against Madagascar on Sunday.

He came on as a substitute around the 66th minute; this was his first competitive appearance since the end of the previous Premier League season, but he was stretchered off the pitch just seconds later after a challenge, looking visibly distressed.

This incident occurred shortly after Bissouma had returned to training with both Tottenham and Mali following a long-term injury that had kept him out of action for the start of the 2025-26 season. Mali went on to win the match 4-1, but no immediate updates on the severity of Bissouma’s ankle issue or his expected recovery timeline have been confirmed as of today.

Before this, Bissouma had been working his way back to full fitness and was potentially in contention for Tottenham’s upcoming Premier League game against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Another day, another goal for Mohammed Kudus. The Spurs man scored again for his country yesterday.

Mohammed Kudus’ clinical finish just after half-time, as he tapped in a precise square pass from Thomas Partey in the 47th minute, proved decisive in a tense 1-0 victory over the Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The win capped off a strong performance from teams in Group I, with 25 points from 10 games, six clear of second-placed Comoros, securing Ghana’s spot as the fifth African nation to qualify for the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order at the Spanish club, and he’s no longer the first choice for them.

According to Football Insider, he could be shown the door in the coming months. However, an exit in January seems unlikely. Perhaps a move in the summer is more feasible. The report further claims that Tottenham are keen on the experienced German goalkeeper.

Barcelona to sell Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Pete O’Rourke said: “It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the summer if Ter Stegen continues to find himself out of favour at Barcelona. I’m sure Barcelona would prefer to probably sell him rather than potentially loan him, just to help with their financial situation and obviously get his wages off the wage list at the club.”

The fact that Barcelona are willing to get rid of him will come as a huge boost for the north London outfit. They need more quality and depth in the goalkeeping department and could compete with Guglielmo Vicario for the starting spot. The Italian can be quite inconsistent, and he has struggled when it comes to dealing with aerial balls.

Ter Stegen would be a superb addition

The German goalkeeper has proven himself at Barcelona over the years, and he is certainly one of the finest goalkeepers in Europe. He possesses the necessary qualities and experience to help him improve. He has won several major trophies during his club career, and his winning experience could prove to be invaluable as well.

The 33-year-old could be available for a reasonable amount of money, and Spurs would do well to secure his signature. He has been labelled as an “unbelievable” goalkeeper in the past, and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the Premier League quickly and make an instant impact.

Every dog has its day, and every dog has its dinner. For fan favourite Lucas Bergvall, this was his dog’s dinner of a touch, against Switzerland.

During a crucial FIFA World Cup 2026 European qualifier at the 3Arena in Dublin (a neutral venue due to renovations at Sweden’s home stadium), Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall had a nightmare moment for Sweden against Switzerland.

In the 43rd minute, with the score still 0-0, Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak delivered a pinpoint through-ball into the box, setting up Bergvall for what should have been a tap-in with the goal gaping. Instead, the 19-year-old inexplicably stepped on the ball, stumbled, and fell over it, allowing Swiss defender Fabian Schär to recover and clear the danger.

This miss epitomized Sweden’s frustrating performance, as they ultimately fell 2-0 to goals from Breel Embolo (59′) and Ruben Vargas (77′). The result leaves Sweden in a precarious position in Group F, five points behind leaders Switzerland with only four matches remaining, seriously threatening their automatic qualification hopes.

Bergvall, who was making his fourth senior international appearance and played 85 minutes before being substituted, later took full responsibility for the blunder and a second missed chance in the second half, telling reporters: “Two chances – two misses. I take the responsibility, not the team.”

Despite the error, he showed pace and promise in other moments, earning praise for his overall involvement.

Lucas achieved a 78% passing average, made two key passes, and made 4 recoveries.

I take Ian Wright’s view on such matters, and it is better for Spurs fans that players get these errors out of the way before wearing the Lilywhite.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Seemenyo, and they will face a lot of competition for his signature.

The 25-year-old African has been outstanding in the Premier League this season, and several clubs are monitoring his situation. His price tag has increased a lot because of his performances, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can afford him.

It would not be a surprise if Bournemouth demanded in excess of £100 million for him.

Spurs could use more quality and depth in the wide areas, and Semenyo would be an exceptional acquisition. However, they will not want to pay over the odds for him.

Antoine Semenyo is a player in demand

Pete O’Rourke said on Football Insider: “Yeah, well look, there’s no surprise that some of these biggest clubs in England are looking at Semenyo.

“Liverpool, we know their links with Bournemouth through Richard Hughes, and Manchester United showed some interest in Semenyo in the summer.

“Tottenham also showed a bit of an interest during the summer, and I’m sure Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal would all consider Semenyo.

“The thing is for all those interested clubs, his price tag’s going up week by week and Bournemouth could put it up beyond £100million if his performances continue.”

Semenyo deserves a big move

The 25-year-old will want to compete at the highest level as well. The move to Tottenham could be the ideal next step for him. He would get to test himself in the Champions League with them and fight for trophies. He has proven himself with the Cherries, and he deserves to take the next step in his career.

Any move in January since highly unlikely. Bournemouth will not want to lose their best player in the middle of the season. They will not be able to replace him properly. Tottenham might have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to get the deal done.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the FC Nantes defender Tylel Tati.

The 17-year-old is already a part of the first team squad at the Ligue 1 club, and his performances have attracted the attention of six other Premier League clubs. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him in the coming months. They have already sent Scouts to watch the player in action, as per CaughtOffside.

Tylel Tati is a player in demand

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Brighton, Brentford and Aston Villa are also keen on him.

The defender is capable of operating in multiple roles, and his versatility will be a huge bonus. He could be a long-term asset for Tottenham if they can secure the deal. The French outfit will not want to lose a player of his potential any time soon. The increased interest in him could also lead to a bidding war in future. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham is prepared to pay over the odds to secure his signature.

Tottenham have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players. They are looking to build for the future, and the 17-year-old would be an exceptional acquisition. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England, and he could develop into a reliable Premier League defender with the right guidance.

Tati could fancy a move

The move to Tottenham would be a step up in his career, and he could be excited to join them. Tati will look to test himself at the highest level in future, and joining the north London club would be ideal. They could provide him with Champions League football and the platform to fight for trophies.

A quality manager like Thomas Frank could unlock his true potential as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Porto striker Samu Aghehowa.

The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in European Football, and top clubs are keeping tabs on him. Spurs could use another quality striker, especially with the way Dominic Solanke has performed. The Spanish goal scorer could prove to be the ideal long-term investment for them.

He scored 27 goals across all competitions last season, and he has established himself as a key player for the Portuguese club. He impressed with the Spanish national team during the Olympics in 2024 as well.

There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive at the highest level, and the move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. However, he has a £86 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up.

Can Tottenham sign Samu Aghehowa?

Pete O’Rourke claimed on Football Insider: “So I think he’s a top young player, 21 years old, Spain international. It’s no surprise that Tottenham and all these other big clubs in the Premier League are looking at him.

“He’s a player with huge potential and could really develop into one of the best strikers in Europe, if he continues his rise. I think that’s why these Premier League clubs are looking at him.

“He has got a release clause in his contract at Porto of around £86million, which is a big price tag on his head.”

Spurs could use Aghehowa

Tottenham need to improve their attacking unit if they want to win major trophies. Signing a reliable striker could make a big difference. The physically gifted 21-year-old could be the ideal fit for Tottenham in theory, and it remains to be seen whether they can bring him to England in the coming months.
