Tottenham Hotspur remain without a win in the Premier League three months into 2026 after suffering a 3-0 loss against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, thereby putting their survival in the top division into jeopardy.

Igor Tudor’s men lead 18th-placed West Ham United by only one point and with the run of fixtures they have between now and the end of the season, it is difficult to foresee Spurs picking up too many points considering current form.

Nonetheless, the board is preparing for a productive transfer window which could see radical changes in the squad. A goalkeeper’s signing is expected to be key considering Guglielmo Vicario’s poor form for much of the campaign.

According to Caught Offside, Tottenham are keen on signing Crystal Palace shot-stopper Dean Henderson, who is valued at £25 million on Transfermarkt, after an impressive few years at Selhurst Park under Oliver Glasner.

Spurs’ PL continuity could hold key

Dean Henderson would be a solid signing for Tottenham Hotspur and an upgrade compared to what Guglielmo Vicario has brought to the table in recent months. With Oliver Glasner departing Crystal Palace, other players may also consider their futures.

Having said that, there will not be a shortage of suitors for the Englishman and for Tottenham Hotspur to stand any chance of being able to secure his services, it is absolutely vital that they manage to stay in the Premier League.

Should they be relegated, there is practically no chance a mid-table side’s goalkeeper would want to join them, while their ability to spend in the transfer market could also be significantly impacted if Spurs are to drop into the Championship.

While activity is being planned for the transfer window, the immediate focus should rather be on avoiding the relegation by winning whatever games the team has left and regrouping to focus on a major rebuilding project ahead of next season.

Manchester United are reportedly battling with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool over a deal to sign Brentford defender Nathan Collins, as per TEAMtalk.

Since moving to the Gtech Community Stadium from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2023, the 24-year-old has established himself as an undisputed starter.

This season, he has been showcasing his qualities, making five goal contributions and keeping seven clean sheets in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Moreover, he has been helping his side to push for a European place finish in the Premier League, sitting only three points behind sixth-placed Chelsea.

Having proven his worth in the English top flight, Collins has secured his place in the Republic of Ireland national team’s starting line-up.

Now, TEAMtalk claim that after being impressed by Collins, Man Utd have started showing ‘genuine’ interest in signing him. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham are in this race as well and have been monitoring his development closely before making a potential swoop.

However, Man Utd are planning to accelerate their efforts to finalise the operation, with Jason Wilcox valuing the defender’s consistency, physical presence, and leadership qualities.

Brentford usually play hardball to sell their big assets, and they aren’t in any rush to sell Collins, with his existing deal set to run until 2029. The Bees have slapped a £55m price tag on his head if they are forced to cash-in on him this summer.

Battle

The report state that Man Utd are ‘strongly considering’ reinforcing multiple areas of the defensive department and are looking for a new left-back as well as a CB.

Collins is a 6ft 4in tall right-footed centre-back. He is quick, strong, good in the air, comfortable playing out from the back, and efficient in defensive contributions.

The Brentford star has shown glimpses of his qualities in the Premier League in recent years and isn’t a finished article yet. So, he would be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd, Liverpool, or Tottenham with a view to the long-term future should any of those clubs purchase him.

However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club, the Merseyside club, or the North London club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his service during the offseason.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly battling with Manchester United over a deal to sign Anderlecht star Nathan De Cat, as per a recent German report.

After coming through the Belgian giants’ youth system, the 17-year-old made his first team debut last year before establishing himself as a key starter this campaign.

In 33 appearances across all competitions, the midfielder has netted three goals and registered five assists. He has been in excellent form in recent weeks, making six goal contributions in the last six matches.

Now, as per a recent report (via TEAMtalk), De Cat’s recent eye-catching performances haven’t gone unnoticed as he has started attracting a lot of attention ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Man Utd have registered their interest in the youngster and have been monitoring his development closely. Moreover, Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion are also in this race.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have intensified their efforts to sign De Cat after being impressed by him and believe he would be an ‘ideal’ deep-lying playmaker for their system.

The report claim that apart from the Premier League clubs, Bundesliga teams are in this race as well, with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen showing interest.

Battle

Although De Cat’s existing deal is set to run until 2027, Anderlecht have no intention of letting him leave in a cut-price deal and have slapped a £30m price tag on his head.

De Cat is a 6ft 3in tall right-footed box-to-box midfielder. Moreover, he can provide cover in the defensive midfield position if needed. The youngster is composed with possession, technically sound, can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas, and is also efficient in defensive contributions.

He is a highly talented player and possesses the necessary attributes to flourish in the Premier League. So, he might be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd or Tottenham should either club purchase him.

However, the Lilywhites have surprisingly found themselves in a relegation scrap and need to keep hold of their top-flight status to sign top-class talents like De Cat in the summer.

Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether the North London club or the Old Trafford club will eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting an audacious swoop to sign Borussia Dortmund centre-forward Serhou Guirassy next summer, according to Fussballdaten.

Talk about consistent goalscoring form that spans at least five years, and not many centre forwards in Europe’s top five leagues boast the goalscoring record of Guirassy across different leagues.

Having netted 13 goals in his first season for French side Amiens, he secured a move to Rennes in 2020, where he showcased another strong run of form, netting 25 goals.

However, it was in Stuttgart that his blistering goalscoring record drew keen attention from several clubs after netting 44 goals and providing five assists for Die Schwaben. He also played a key role in helping them secure a historic UEFA Champions League berth for the first time in 14 years in the 2024/25 campaign.

Guirassy joined Dortmund in a big-money move last season and has proved to be one of the Bundesliga’s most lethal finishers, and what a first season it was for the 30-year-old, who netted 47 goal contributions in 50 games.

In the ongoing campaign, he has provided 23 goal contributions in 38 games across all competitions, sparking keen interest from several clubs.

One of the clubs looking to sign Guirassy is Tottenham, according to Fussballdaten, which claims that the North London club are the ‘most active’ club in the race to sign the 6ft 1in centre-forward.

Prolific hitman

The report adds that Spurs are looking to reinforce their attack and have earmarked the Guinean, citing his physicality and goalscoring prowess, and that the club’s scouts are now closely monitoring him ahead of next summer.

It appears Igor Tudor’s side are already accelerating their efforts to sign Gurassy, as Fussballdaten claims Tottenham have contacted his agent to discuss a possible transfer and are preparing an audacious offer for his signature.

Although Dortmund have placed a non-negotiable price tag on the France-born Guinean international, who is also of keen interest to AC Milan and Barcelona, the German club will only consider offers of £64-69m to sanction his departure, according to the report.

Tottenham claimed a valuable point in their bid to stay in the Premier League as Richarlison’s goal clinched a 1-1 draw after Dominik Szoboszlai had netted the opener for Liverpool.

The North Londoners will hope to avoid a late relegation tussle, as it could affect their ability to sign stars like Guirassy.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a swoop to sign Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Francis Onyeka next summer, according to Sports Boom.

The 18-year-old is the latest exciting talent to have risen through the ranks at Leverkusen, which includes the likes of Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz.

He made his first-team debut for Die Werkself, coming on in the 3-0 win over Elversberg in the DFB-Pokal on October 29, 2024.

This campaign, he joined Bochum on loan and has been a regular for Uwe Rösler’s side, featuring in 23 Bundesliga games, netting eight goals and providing one assist.

He has also been outstanding at the international level with the German U19 side, which he captains, netting eight goals in six games for the DFB-Elf.

Such a prolific form for Bochum and at the international level at just 18 will, without doubt, draw interest from several top European clubs, especially with the summer transfer window fast approaching.

According to Sports Boom, Tottenham have expressed interest in signing Onyeka to reinforce their attack next summer.

The report adds that Spurs’ scouts have been impressed by the attacking midfielder, citing his composure and finishing as strengths.

Exciting prospect

However, the North Londoners are set to face stern competition for Onyeka’s signature, as Sports Boom adds that Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have also expressed interest in the German, who is valued at between £25m and £30m by Leverkusen.

Tottenham have shaped their recruitment approach in recent years around two objectives: reinforcing the senior squad with quality additions while also bringing in highly rated young prospects for the future.

One such talent is the towering 6ft 5in centre-back Ashley Phillips, who joined from Blackburn Rovers in 2024.

The club also secured the services of Luka Vušković from Hajduk Split. The young defender has been widely tipped to play an important role in the senior side next season following a series of impressive performances in the Bundesliga while representing Hamburger SV.

In addition, Tottenham completed deals for Yang Min-hyeok, Lucas Bergvall, and Archie Gray, who recently featured in midfield during Sunday’s 1–1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.

Standing at 6ft 2in, Onyeka would be another standout addition to the club, as he possesses the qualities to instantly slot into the first team while also serving as an exciting prospect for the future.

Chelsea are reportedly ‘confident’ of signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall, as per Football Insider.

After dismissing Enzo Maresca, the Blues decided to appoint Liam Rosenior as the new manager in January. They enjoyed a promising start under the former Strasbourg boss, winning six out of the first seven matches.

However, they have been showcasing inconsistent performances in recent weeks, losing three and drawing two of their last nine matches across all competitions.

Chelsea’s 5-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16 first leg has left them on the verge of elimination unless they can produce a miraculous turnaround in the second leg at Stamford Bridge next week.

On the other hand, the West London club are currently fifth in the Premier League table with 48 points from 29 matches, sitting three points behind third-placed Manchester United.

Meanwhile, with the summer window edging closer rapidly, Chelsea have seemingly started exploring options to further strengthen the squad.

Football Insider state that Rosenior’s side are planning to sign a new midfielder and have identified Bergvall as a serious option. They previously attempted to buy him in the winter window, but Spurs didn’t allow his departure.

Bergvall to Chelsea

Still, Chelsea haven’t given up hope of sealing the deal and are ‘confident’ of signing him during the offseason. With Tottenham finding themselves in a relegation scrap this season, they would be forced to sell several top-class talents if they eventually fail to stay in the top flight.

Moreover, considering they are set to miss out on European football next season, they are resigned to losing several stars this summer.

However, the report claim that purchasing the Swede won’t be straightforward for Chelsea as Aston Villa are also weighing up a move.

The 20-year-old is valued at around £35m by Transfermarkt and still has a contract until 2031. So, Tottenham are in a strong position to demand a big fee if they are forced to let him leave.

Bergvall is a versatile midfielder as he can play anywhere across the middle of the park and possesses high potential. So, he would be a shrewd acquisition for Chelsea should they eventually manage to secure his service.

Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on matchday 30 of the Premier League at 17:30 local time, as they look to add three more points on the board in their quest for a place in the Champions League next season.

Arne Slot’s men will be the favourites to secure all available points owing to Spurs’ poor run of form, which has seen them lose six matches on the trot. With that said, here is how the home side might line-up for the fixture.

Goalkeeper – Giorgi Mamardashvili could continue in goal for the Reds as Alisson Becker’s fitness is unlikely to be risked ahead of next week’s Champions League round of 16 second leg clash versus Galatasaray.

Defenders – £30 million summer signing Jeremie Frimpong could be drafted into the team at right back at Joe Gomez’s expense, but Milos Kerkez might continue to play on the left side of the back four over Andy Robertson. Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are expected to round off the defence by pairing with one another at centre back.

Mac Allister rested, Gakpo starts

Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister’s form has not been great in recent weeks and so he may be given a rest against Tottenham Hotspur. That might see Dominik Szoboszlai feature in a double pivot next to Ryan Gravenberch, with Florian Wirtz covering the number 10 position which the Hungarian took over against Galatasaray in the last match.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah could play on the right wing and Cody Gakpo is likely to be back in the side on the left flank.

Forward – Hugo Ekitike is expected to lead the line for the Reds once more.

Here is how the team might look on paper.

Tottenham Hotspur are on the road for a second match in a few days’ time as they take on Liverpool at Anfield on matchday 30 of the Premier League, hoping to end a six-match losing run and desperately pick up all three points.

Igor Tudor has yet to oversee a win as their manager having taken over from Thomas Frank, and with the threat of relegation looming over their heads, here is how the Lilywhites are expected to line-up.

Goalkeeper – Antonin Kinsky had an outing to forget away at Atletico Madrid midweek, so Guglielmo Vicario could come back into the eleven in between the sticks.

Defenders – Pedro Porro is set to start as the right back, with Djed Spence the favourite to play on the left side. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven will not be available against Liverpool, so Kevin Danso is expected to retain his berth in the line-up and Radu Dragusin might come in as his partner in the heart of the back four.

Simons at number 10, Solanke down the middle

Midfielders – Joao Palhinha is out of the game with a concussion suffered in the Atletico Madrid match, so Pape Mata Sarr and Archie Gray are likely to continue in the double pivot for Tottenham Hotspur, whereas Xavi Simons may be the number 10.

Randal Kolo Muani may be picked as the right winger once more, and Richarlison may move to an out-wide position to feature on the left flank.

Forward – Dominic Solanke is expected to come back into the starting eleven for Tottenham.

Here is how the Lilywhites’ team is likely to look on paper.

Arsenal are reportedly ‘showing an interest’ in signing Tottenham Hotspur target and Brentford star Kevin Schade, as per Caught Offside.

Following Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, and Thomas Frank’s departure last summer, it was thought that the Bees would struggle this campaign.

However, Schade, Igor Thiago, and new summer signing Dango Ouattara have stepped up, and the West London club have enjoyed a promising campaign under Keith Andrews’ guidance this season.

Brentford are currently seventh in the Premier League table with 44 points from 29 matches, sitting only four points behind fifth-placed Chelsea. A seventh-place finish might be enough to qualify for European football next season.

Thiago is currently the Bees’ highest scorer with 18 goals this season, and only Erling Haaland has netted more than him in the Premier League.

On the other hand, Schade has scored seven goals and registered three assists this campaign, including goals against Liverpool and Chelsea.

Now, Caught Offside claim that Arsenal are considering replacing Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard this summer and have identified Schade as a serious option.

Battle

However, Tottenham have also expressed their interest in him, having been impressed by his recent eye-catching performances. Moreover, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keen on him as well.

Schade is ready to leave the Gtech Community Stadium to take the next step in his career, and having already signed David Raya and Christian Norgaard, Arsenal have a very good relationship with Andrews’ side. So, the Gunners have an advantage in this race.

The 24-year-old has a contract until 2028, so Brentford aren’t in any rush to sell him and have slapped a £52m price tag on his head.

With Tottenham battling relegation this season, Schade may prefer a move to Arsenal in order to compete at the highest level should the North London rivals face off for his signature in the summer.

Schade is a left-winger by trait and is comfortable with both feet. He has shown glimpses of his qualities in the Premier League in recent years and isn’t a finished article yet.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make a move to sign West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen, as per TEAMtalk.

Since joining the Hammers from Hull City back in 2020, the 29-year-old has established himself as a talismanic figure, winning a Conference League trophy.

He has made more than 20 goal contributions over the last four consecutive campaigns. However, he has displayed inconsistent performances this season, scoring eight goals and registering four assists in 29 appearances across all competitions. As a result, the East London club have been struggling, languishing in the relegation zone.

Now, TEAMtalk claim that Bowen is prepared to leave the London Stadium if Nuno Espirito Santo’s side eventually fail to keep hold of their top-flight status.

In that case, Man Utd are planning to make a move to sign him. However, Tottenham hold a long-standing interest in the Englishman as they consider him a ‘complete footballer’ and previously made contact to learn about the details of signing him.

So, they could make a concrete approach to sign him this summer. But the Lilywhites have surprisingly found themselves in a relegation scrap this season, so they would have to stay in the Premier League to sign Bowen.

The report state that Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Arsenal are also interested in him but are unlikely to make a move.

Battle

Bowen recently signed a long-term contract until 2030, and West Ham have no intention of parting ways with him for anything less than £52m. However, they would be forced to sell him in a cut-price deal if they suffer relegation.

Bowen is a left-footed, hard-working right-winger by trait, but is also efficient in the centre-forward position if needed.

With Dejan Kulusevski struggling with a serious knee issue, Spurs could do with signing a new right-winger to support Mohammed Kudus, who has also been out injured in recent months.

On the other hand, Man Utd currently have Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo as options to deploy on the right flank. So, the Red Devils don’t have to spend more money to add further depth to this position.

Therefore, Bowen would be better off joining Tottenham instead of Man Utd if he eventually leaves in the summer.
