The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League struggles persist, with the team positioned 11th in the table following a 2-2 draw against Wolves.

At the season’s halfway mark, the Lilywhites have managed just 24 points from 19 matches, highlighting their inconsistent form.

Despite these challenges, Spurs’ leadership remains committed to Ange Postecoglou, showing no intent to part ways with the Australian manager.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the club continues to back Postecoglou, acknowledging the difficulties he has faced during a turbulent campaign.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano said:

“It’s obviously a difficult situation, but what I’m hearing is that Tottenham keep supporting and trusting Ange Postecoglou.

“The January window is going to be important. Obviously, they need to do something.”

Key injuries have significantly impacted Tottenham’s performances this season. First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been out since November following ankle surgery, while defenders Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Ben Davies have also been sidelined, leaving Spurs’ defence stretched thin. Postecoglou has been forced to adapt, often fielding a makeshift pairing of Radu Dragusin and summer recruit Archie Gray in central defence.

The injury crisis extends beyond the backline. Forward Richarlison, winger Wilson Odobert, and academy talent Micky Moore have all been unavailable, further limiting the manager’s tactical options. (Premier Injuries)

However, Tottenham’s performances in other competitions offer a glimmer of hope. The Lilywhites are in 9th in the Europa League group stage, looking to secure their spot among the 36 teams advancing to the knockout phase. Additionally, a memorable victory over Manchester United propelled Spurs into the Carabao Cup semi-finals, where they will face Liverpool, keeping alive their ambitions of ending a 17-year trophy drought.

While tactical inconsistencies and defensive issues remain areas of concern, Tottenham’s decision to stand by Postecoglou suggests a long-term vision for the club. The January transfer window will be crucial for addressing weaknesses and bolstering the squad.

For now, Spurs are entrusting Postecoglou to guide them through these difficulties, with the hope of stabilizing their season and laying the groundwork for future success.

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon appears set for a January departure as reports from Cadena Ser reveal the Spaniard is eager to leave North London and revive his faltering career.

With his contract entering its final months, Spurs are expected to facilitate the move to avoid losing him for free next summer.

Reguilon, 28, has endured a torrid campaign at Tottenham, struggling to find a place in Ange Postecoglou’s plans. Having been included in the matchday squad only three times this season and making just one appearance—a brief cameo against Wolves after Destiny Udogie’s injury—Reguilon’s future at the club has looked increasingly uncertain.

A host of clubs, including La Liga sides Sevilla, Getafe, and Real Valladolid, are reportedly monitoring his situation. Sevilla, where Reguilon enjoyed a stellar loan spell during the 2019/20 season, are believed to be leading the race for his signature. Getafe, meanwhile, are reportedly preparing a free transfer offer, while Valladolid have also emerged as potential suitors.

Reguilon joined Spurs in September 2020 for £27.5 million following a breakout loan stint at Sevilla, where he played a pivotal role in their Europa League triumph. He made an immediate impact in North London, delivering an assist on his debut against Chelsea in the League Cup. However, his performances have since waned, and injuries, coupled with changes in management, have further curtailed his progress.

A move in January would provide Reguilon with the opportunity to reignite his career with consistent playing time, while Tottenham could free up space in their squad for players better suited to Postecoglou’s high-energy system.

With Sevilla and Getafe reportedly ready to open negotiations, the coming weeks will likely determine Reguilon’s next destination—and whether he can escape what has been described as his Spurs “nightmare.”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the PSV Eindhoven attacking midfielder Malik Tillman.

According to a report from Daily Mail, Tottenham fancy a January move for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, but it would not be easy securing an agreement with his club.

The Dutch outfit do not want to sell the player midway through the season and he is a key member of their starting lineup. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can submit a lucrative proposal and change their stance. He could cost around €30-40 million.

Tillman has been a reliable performer for PSV this season and he has 10 goals and four assists to his name in all competitions. He could prove to quality acquisition for the North London club. Tottenham needs to add more goals and creativity to their midfield. The 22-year-old is capable of operating as the number ten as well as a central midfielder. He could push James Maddison for the starting spot. The England international can be quite unreliable at times and he will need to iron out the inconsistency from his game in order to hold down a regular starting spot.

The opportunity to move to Tottenham could be quite attractive for the 22-year-old midfielder, and he will hope that the two clubs can finalise a deal soon. The American international is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future. He could develop into an important first player for Tottenham, with the right guidance. The player has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League if the move goes through.

The player has been linked with top-four rivals Aston Villa as well. Spurs must look to act quickly if they want to get the deal done.

Tottenham are hoping to improve the defensive unit during the January transfer window.

According to a report from the Times, they have identified a left-sided defender as their top priority heading into the transfer window next month. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right reinforcements.

They are looking to sign a quality backup option for Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie. Van de Ven has been exceptional since joining Tottenham, but he has struggled with persistent injury problems. On the other hand, Udogie has been quite underwhelming this season after impressing initially.

Spurs clearly need more depth in the defensive unit, and it is no surprise that they have set their transfer priority accordingly.

Tottenham open Itakura talks

Meanwhile, a report from TBR Football claims that Tottenham want to sign Ko Itakura from Borussia Moenchengladbach next month. The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the past.

Ange Postecoglou knows the player well having looked at him closely during his time as the Celtic manager. The Australian manager wanted to sign the Japanese international for the Scottish club as well.

The report states that Tottenham have already held talks with intermediaries regarding a move for the 27-year-old. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player. The Japanese international could be tempted to move to the Premier League and try out a new challenge at the stage of his career.

He has shown his quality in the Bundesliga and he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. He could be the ideal backup option for Tottenham and he is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money as well.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add more depth to the goalkeeping department and they have identified Alex Remiro as a target.

According to a report from the Times, they have watched the Real Sociedad goalkeeper in recent weeks and they are hoping to sign him next month. It will be interesting to see if the La Liga out are willing to sign on his departure next month.

Remiro has shown his quality in La Liga and he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. Spurs need a reliable backup to Guglielmo Vicario, who is injured. Fraser Forster will be out of contract in the summer and Remiro would be the ideal acquisition. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be attractive for the goalkeeper as well. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham come forward with an offer to sign the player.

Tottenham have an exciting project and a talented squad at their disposal. The La Liga goalkeeper would be attracted to the idea of joining them. It will be interesting to see if Real Sociedad are willing to accept a reasonable fee for his services. Spurs need to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well, and they might not be able to pay a premium for Remiro.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham if the move goes through. Vicario has been criticised for his vulnerability while dealing with set pieces and the Spanish goalkeeper will certainly fancy his chances of dislodging the Italian from the starting lineup, even when he is fit. The competition for places could help both players improve.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal across the line.

Brennan Johnson has given a candid response when asked about the current predicament Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in.

The Lilywhites are in dreadful form with their recent 2-2 draw against Wolves meaning they’ve now won just three of their last 13 matches across all competitions.

That run has seen Spurs slip to 11th in the Premier League, 11 points adrift of the Champions League places.

And it doesn’t get any easier for Spurs, who host in-form Newcastle next before taking on Liverpool in their EFL Cup semi-final first leg. There is also a North London derby at the Emirates Stadium on the horizon.

Things need to turn around quickly for Spurs, with manager Ange Postecoglou coming under increasing pressure from supporters and pundits.

Brennan Johnson gives honest verdict on Spurs situation

The boos rang out around the stadium after Tottenham surrendered a 2-1 half-time lead late on to draw 2-2 against Wolves on Sunday.

Johnson — who scored Tottenham’s second of the game — has given an honest appraisal of Spurs’ current predicament, which has not been helped by a chronic injury crisis that has left them without a host of key players.

“Yeah, exactly [we’re giving everything]. I’m not going to lie and say that we’re all buzzing, but it’s been tough and the minimum we can do is give our all, and I think that’s what we are all doing, to be fair,” said Johnson (via Football.London). “I don’t think I can doubt anyone’s belief and work rate to the cause. So, obviously, we want to work hard, but yeah, it’s just disappointing when results like that happen so late on.”

He added: “It was a tough game, they’d come in off a really good result against Man United, but I think we showed enough to get through the game. I think we weren’t at our best as we have been in this season, but we definitely created enough chances to win that game, so it’s disappointing.

“It’s a massive kick in the teeth. To get ourselves from behind, back in front the way we did and definitely had enough chances to maybe get another, but it’s just in those games where we have to really grit our teeth and get a result and it’s sickening when that goal goes in because it’s like everyone’s worked so hard and we haven’t been at our best, but I think we’ve really worked hard to get a result and for them to score at the end just, yeah, it’s a massive blow.”

Gary Lineker believes Tottenham Hotspur may have an unlikely advantage in their upcoming EFL Cup semi-final clash with Liverpool.

Spurs host the Reds a week on Wednesday in the first leg of their final-four clash, with the second leg to follow at Anfield in February.

The Lilywhites will be desperate to make it to Wembley as they seek to win their first major trophy since 2008.

However, they don’t come into the clash against Liverpool in good form.

Spurs have won just three of their last 13 matches across all competitions and none of their last three.

What’s more, they must face a Newcastle side on a run of five straight victories by a 16-1 combined scoreline this Saturday before they can even think about their EFL Cup exploits.

Gary Lineker talks up Spurs EFL Cup chances

With all that in mind, the odds don’t exactly look good on a Spurs win.

However, Lineker has a theory that could see the semi-final swing unexpectedly in Tottenham’s favour.

“Particularly, probably the cup game because it’s been so long since Spurs have won something. It’s hard to see him getting past Liverpool. The only thing I would say is that Liverpool will probably rest quite a few,” the former Tottenham, Everton and Leicester striker said (via TBR).

“I know it sounds mad in a semi-final, but there’s Champions League games coming up, although they’re in pretty good shape there. But with them being so far ahead in the league, that would take absolute priority for Liverpool.

“So I’d be surprised if they didn’t mix it up a little bit, which might help the chances of Spurs.”

Tottenham have identified Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov as a key target for the upcoming January transfer window as they aim to bolster their backline amidst ongoing challenges this season.

Latest report from TBR Football suggest that Spurs have initiated talks to secure the services of the talented 20-year-old centre-back, who Newcastle United is also pursuing.

With defensive frailties and injuries hampering Tottenham’s form, Khusanov’s profile aligns well with the club’s immediate and long-term needs.

The report claims that both Spurs and Newcastle have done their homework on the player valued at £25m and see him as someone who will fit straight into the Premier League.

Previously, the Uzbekistan international showcased his potential at Energetik-BGU Minsk, earning recognition as one of the promising young defenders. His transition to Lens has further cemented his reputation as a composed and dynamic presence at the back.

This season, Khusanov has made 16 appearances across all competitions, starting 13 of those matches. His experience on big stages includes becoming the youngest Uzbek player to feature in both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, highlighting his readiness to compete at the highest level.

While Newcastle also have their sights on the Uzbek talent, Tottenham remain optimistic about Khusanov’s suitability for Ange Postecoglou’s system. His blend of speed, composure, and defensive awareness could provide immediate reinforcement and long-term stability to Spurs’ backline.

Tottenham are currently undergoing a massive injury crisis, in particular at the back with both centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero out injured. Ben Davies, a backup utility defender is also out injured with a hamstring injury while Radu Dragusin who has filled in at the back has been struggling with an injury as well with the club forced to field him despite his injury vs Wolves

The need to sign at least one defender in January is perhaps considered a top priority for the club at the moment.

Tottenham Hotspur will have to overcome two major hurdles if they’re to land the signing of Jack Grealish, according to reports.

Grealish has been with Manchester City since his £100m move from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021.

Tottenham submit €45 million offer to sign South American prodigy

Since then, he’s registered 14 goals and 20 assists in 143 appearances across all competitions, helping City to three Premier League titles and a Champions League among a host of other major honours.

However, Grealish hasn’t always been a nailed-on starter for Pep Guardiola. In fact, he’s started just 16 Premier League matches since the start of last season, with a further 17 appearances coming from the bench.

Can Spurs overcome Jack Grealish hurdles?

Tottenham — who are currently 11th in the Premier League — are among a number of clubs linked with Grealish heading into the January transfer window, with Ange Postecoglou keen to strengthen his injury-hit squad.

But according to TBR, one of the first stumbling blocks is Grealish’s huge salary at the Etihad Stadium.

TBR report that Grealish is among City’s highest earners and, indeed, the England international brings home a whopping £300k per week according to Capology, with only Erling Haaland (£375k) and Kevin De Bruyne (£400k) paid more.

But even if Spurs can cough up Grealish’s wages, find a compromise with Man City on a loan, or convince the player to take a pay cut, that still may not be enough.

TBR also report that Grealish is ‘more than settled and happy’ in the north-west, making a move to Spurs an even harder sell.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brighton and Hove Albion attacker Facundo Buonanotte.

The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Leicester City and he has impressed with his performances. According to Fichajes, Tottenham are looking to get a deal done and they have submitted an offer of around €45 million for the player.

The 20-year-old is capable of operating as the number ten as well as a winger. He will help create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates with his passing, vision and flair. He is capable of chipping in with goals as well.

Buonanotte is quite young and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a future star for Tottenham if they can nurture him properly. The London club have already acted on their interest and it will be interesting to see if Brighton are prepared to sanction his departure.

Tottenham need to improve their squad to do well. They have been quite mediocre this season and the right additions in January will help them bounce back strongly.

Meanwhile, the report states that Brighton will not let the player leave easily, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince them. The Argentine attacker has a bright future of himself and joining a big club like Tottenham will be quite attractive for him. It could be the ideal next step in his career.

James Maddison has not been at his best this season and Spurs need more competition for places. Signing Buonanotte will help share the creative burden with the England international. The 20-year-old could push Maddison for the starting spot and the competition will help both players improve.

It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds over the next few weeks.
