Tottenham’s challenging season has intensified speculation surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s future, with reports linking Fulham manager Marco Silva as a possible successor.

The North London side’s poor run of form continued midweek with a 1-1 Europa League draw against Rangers, extending their winless streak to five games in all competitions.

This stretch of disappointing results includes three defeats in their last five Premier League matches, leaving Spurs in 12th place and raising serious questions about Postecoglou’s ability to steer the team back on track.

Journalist Miguel Delaney has reported that Tottenham are monitoring Silva’s situation as they consider options for the managerial role. While chairman Daniel Levy remains publicly supportive of Postecoglou, the team’s recent struggles and wavering fan sentiment could push the club to evaluate alternative paths if results don’t improve.

Writing for The Independent, Delaney stated:

“Speculation is now swirling around Ange Postecoglou. Spurs are known to have been looking at Marco Silva… Daniel Levy however, is also aware of wider fan sentiment. There are issues with Postecoglou’s coaching but supporters generally want to try something different and persist.”

Silva’s coaching pedigree makes him a standout contender. The Portuguese manager began his career in his homeland with Estoril, achieving success before moving on to Sporting CP, where he claimed the Portuguese Cup, and Olympiacos, where he secured the Greek Super League title.

In England, Silva has carved out a reputation as a tactically adept coach with spells at Hull City, Watford, Everton, and now Fulham. Appointed in 2021, Silva has transformed Fulham’s fortunes, leading them to a historic Championship title and breaking records along the way.

In December 2023, he guided the team to their first-ever League Cup semi-final, further solidifying his credentials. Despite lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, Silva extended his contract at Fulham until 2026.

Although Levy remains optimistic about Postecoglou’s ability to turn things around, Tottenham’s ongoing struggles leave room for potential changes.

As Spurs prepare for a crucial clash against Southampton this weekend, Silva’s managerial track record and proven ability to drive progress position him as a viable candidate to rejuvenate the team if a change becomes necessary.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from the London club and a report from Brazilian publication Trivela claims that Tottenham would be prepared to provide him with an exit route.

Apart from them, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keen on signing the former Manchester United playmaker as well. The player was linked with Tottenham a few months ago as well.

Pereira can operate as a central midfielder as well as the number ten. He will add creativity, composure, and technical ability to the midfield. Spurs need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian could be a useful acquisition.

He is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact at the North London club. He is a proven performer for Fulham and the opportunity to move to Tottenham will be quite exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career and he would get to play in a better team alongside quality players.

Back in 2023, Erik ten Hag described him as a “really good player”.

Tottenham move would be ideal for Andreas Pereira

Tottenham could provide him with the platform to showcase his quality in European football and push for trophies as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a deal with Fulham for the player. The Cottagers are reportedly looking at Breno Bidon as a potential replacement.

Convincing Pereira to join Tottenham should not be difficult for the North London club, but they will need to agree on a deal with Fulham as well. It remains to be seen whether they are ready to sanction the departure of a key player in the coming months.

It is fair to assume that a move in January could prove to be tricky. Tottenham might have to wait until the summer transfer window to get the deal done. Clubs are often reluctant to lose important players midway through the season and Fulham could look to hold onto him until the summer.

Tottenham remain keen on signing the RC Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov.

According to Give Me Sport, Tottenham are seriously considering a move for the Uzbekistan international and they have made regular checks on him in recent months. They sent scouts to watch the player in action recently.

The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the finest young defensive prospects in the French league right now, and he could prove to be a quality long-term addition to the North London club. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit and Khusanov would be a superb addition.

Tottenham need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit and signing another central defender would be a wise decision. Players like Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven have had their fair share of injury problems, and Tottenham need more options at their disposal.

Khusanov might fancy Tottenham switch

Meanwhile, the opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for the 20-year-old defender. It will be a major step up in his career and he would get to test himself against world-class attackers in English football. Regular exposure to the Premier League could accelerate his development as well.

It will be interesting to see if Spurs can get the deal done. We have covered reports recently stating that the player is valued at around €20 million. Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to afford him. However, they might have to face competition from other Premier League clubs for his signature. They should look to act quickly if they want to get the deal done.

The player has the potential to justify the reported asking price as well, and the deal could look like a major bargain if he manages to fulfil his potential.

RC Lens midfielder Andy Diouf is reportedly on the radar of Premier League club, Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Give Me Sport, Tottenham would be willing to provide him with an exit route in January and it will be interesting to see if the clubs can work out a deal over the next few weeks.

The 21-year-old is capable of operating as a central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder. He will add goals, creativity, and composure to the Spurs midfield. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an exciting one for the player and Spurs could provide him with a platform to showcase his abilities in English football.

They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They will be hoping to push for trophies regularly, and they need to continue improving their squad to match up to the English elite. Diouf has the quality to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and Tottenham will be hoping to nurture him properly and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. It will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a reasonable deal for the player over the next few weeks.

Tottenham face competition for Andy Diouf

The North London club have been monitoring the highly talented midfielder in recent months and they sent scouts to watch the player in action earlier in August.

His versatility and technical ability have impressed manager Ange Postecoglou, but Spurs will face competition from the likes of West Ham and Crystal Palace as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an official proposal to sign the French under-21 international in the coming weeks. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.

Injury expert shares update on Tottenham striker Richarlison

Tottenham striker Richarlison’s season has been marred by a series of injuries that have severely limited his impact. Since the start of the campaign, the Brazilian international has missed nine games due to fitness issues and now faces an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury.

Richarlison made his first start of the season in Spurs’ UEFA Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar, where he scored in a 2-0 victory. However, his return to form was short-lived. During Tottenham’s recent 4-1 Premier League win over Aston Villa, the striker replaced Heung-min Son in the second half but was forced off later in the game due to a hamstring injury.

Initial reports suggested that Richarlison would be out for four weeks, but Brazilian outlet Trivela later claimed the injury was more serious than anticipated.

Renowned injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar has now provided an update on the 27-year-old’s condition. According to Dr. Brar, Richarlison appears to be dealing with a high-grade muscle tear—likely Grade 2 or Grade 3—rather than the more severe Grade 4 tear initially feared.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he explained:

“This sounds like a high Grade 2 or Grade 3 muscle tear and not a Grade 4 tear as first feared based on the timeline thus far.

“If the timeline of a mid-January return holds, I would expect a return to training around the New Year.

“I do not see him returning to first-team football until the start of January either.“

Richarlison’s recurring injuries and inconsistent form have sparked speculation about his future at Tottenham.

Brazilian side Fluminense have reportedly made initial contact with the player, signalling their interest in bringing him back to his homeland. Additionally, Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation, with journalist Ben Jacobs confirming their admiration for the forward.

Since joining Tottenham, Richarlison has struggled to replicate the form that saw him shine at Everton. With just seven appearances this season and a solitary goal to his name, his time in North London has been marred by setbacks.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to bring Ashley Phillips back to the club during the January transfer window.

The 19-year-old defender is currently on loan at Stoke City, but a report from the Standard claims that Tottenham are now considering bringing him back to the club because of their current injury crisis.

The 19-year-old could be a useful option for Tottenham during the second half of the season. Radu Dragusin is currently the only fit central defender at the club with the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven sidelined with muscle injuries. Welsh international Ben Davies has a hamstring problem as well and Tottenham are clearly depleted at the back.

It remains to be seen whether they can make the necessary adjustments in the coming weeks. There is no doubt that they need to add more depth and quality to the defence. Apart from bringing Phillips back to the club, they should look to sign a quality central defender as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Phillips could fancy Tottenham return

The opportunity to return to Tottenham could be an interesting one for Phillips, especially if they are prepared to provide him with ample first-team opportunities. Regular exposure in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help the 19-year-old improve immensely.

The defender is highly rated around the country and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He will look to establish himself as a key player for Spurs in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if he can impress with the first team if he is brought back in January.

The report claims that there is a clause in his contract, allowing Tottenham to bring him back in January and it remains to be seen whether the North London club decide to trigger it.

Getafe defender Omar Alderete is reportedly a target for Tottenham Hotspur.

According to reports from Paraguayan outlet D10, the 27-year-old central defender is ‘reportedly in negotiations’ to join the North London club. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get a deal done.

They need a quality central defender and the La Liga player could be the ideal acquisition. He could complete the defensive unit alongside Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin. They have been linked with multiple defenders recently.

The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting for the Paraguayan international and he would get to test himself against top-class attackers in the Premier League.

The defender is at the peak of his powers and he will look to take the next step in his development. Joining the Premier League could be ideal for him right now. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal across the line.

The 27-year-old has shown his quality for club and country, and he is certainly ready for the step up in his career. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham.

It remains to be seen whether the North London club can agree on a reasonable fee for him. They need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and they cannot afford to pay over the odds for the South American. The player is at the peak of his powers right now, and he will look to hit the ground running in English if the transfer goes through.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign the Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi during the January transfer window.

According to Give Me Sport, Johan Lange will lead negotiations for the North London club and they are hoping to be Chelsea and Manchester City to his signature. The 22-year-old central defender has done quite well in the Premier League and he has attracted the attention of the top clubs.

Tottenham need another central defender and the Bournemouth star would be the ideal acquisition. The report states that he will cost over £50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up for him. They have been keeping tabs on him for a while.

He is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham. They have the financial resources to pay a premium for him. However, they might need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and they will probably hope to sign the defender for a more reasonable price. It will be interesting if they can get the deal done.

The 22-year-old has shown his quality with the Cherries, and he will look to compete at a higher level now. Tottenham could provide him with that platform. He might be able to compete in european competitions with them. Also, they have an exciting project and a talented squad. They could be pushing for trophies in the coming seasons and Zabarnyi will certainly be excited to join them.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham submit an offer to sign the defender in the coming weeks. They have made a mediocre start to the season and quality signs in January could help them bounce back strongly. They will be expected to secure a top-four finish this season.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the highly rated attacker Mason Melia.

According to Football Insider, they are in advanced negotiations to sign the 17-year-old attacker in a deal worth around €1 million. The Republic of Ireland under-19 international is reportedly a target for clubs like Everton, Crystal Palace and Brighton as well.

Manchester United and Chelsea are keeping tabs on him as well.

Tottenham are looking to steal a match on their rivals and get the deal done now. However, the 17-year-old will only join the Londoners next September when he turns 18. Melia is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future. He could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.

Tottenham could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit and the 17-year-old would be a long-term prospect for them. He could be a useful squad player for now, and he will eventually look to hold down a regular starting spot at the North London club.

The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him, and it would be a major step up in his career. He would get to test himself in English football and compete against top-class defenders.

The player has seven goals and two assists in 2024, and he has already established himself as an important player for St Patrick’s Athletic. He is unlikely to get regular gametime at Tottenham right away, and it will be interesting to see if the Londoners decide to loan him out so that he can gain regular first-team experience in the coming months.
