(Photo by Adam Davy/PA Images via Getty Images) Bournemouth’s 19-year-old defender Dean Huijsen delivered a pivotal moment at the Vitality Stadium, heading in Marcus Tavernier’s curling corner in the 17th minute to seal a 1-0 victory over Tottenham. Left inexplicably unmarked at the back post, Huijsen’s goal exposed Tottenham’s perennial vulnerability at set-pieces, leaving manager Ange Postecoglou shaking his head on the touchline. The result propelled Bournemouth above Tottenham in the Premier League standings and deepened the north London club’s mounting frustrations as their struggle...

Spurs reject enquiry from Sevilla for teenager

Archie Gray of Tottenham Hotspur during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between Tottenham Hotspur and AZ at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 24, 2024 in London, England. According to a fresh report out of the Spanish media, Spurs have rejected an enquiry from Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta, to bring in Archie Gray on loan in the January transfer window. Orta was previously sporting director of Leeds United, and whilst Gray’s proper breakthrough into the first team came the season after he departed the club in the summer of 2023, there is no doubt the 46-year old will be aware of Gray from his time at the Yorkshire club. The report suggests that Orta saw an opportunity due to the teenagers “lack of game time” at Spurs so far. Whilst he perhaps hasn’t playe...

Son Heung-min to miss Spurs’ League Cup tie against Manchester City

Son Heung-Min of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur FC and West Ham United FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 19, 2024 in London, England. Tottenham Hotspur will remain without captain Son Heung-min for their League Cup fourth-round tie at home to Manchester City on Wednesday. Son returned after a three-match absence due to a hamstring injury to score against West Ham earlier this month, but then reported “soreness” after the October 19 win and has missed subsequent matches with AZ Alkmaar and Crystal Palace. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said Tuesday the South Korea star will miss the visit of City but should return for the Premier League match with Aston Villa on Sunday. “Sonny, no. Well he is almo...

Man Utd held, Spurs sneak home in Europa League

Christian Eriksen of Manchester United in action with Dusan Tadic of Fenerbahce during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between Fenerbahce SK and Manchester United at Ulker Stadium on October 24, 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey. Manchester United's box office reunion with Jose Mourinho has lived up to the billing, with their former manager sent off as his Fenerbahce side denied Erik ten Hag a first Europa League win of the season. The Red Devils have made a stumbling start to the new-look competition, with a shock home draw with FC Twente followed by an added-time goal saving them from defeat in Porto. Christian Eriksen temporarily silenced Fenerbahce's febrile support but old foe Youssef En-Nesyri secured a 1-1 draw against a United side that have now won just one of their...

Lopetegui admits he admires Tottenham man ahead of West Ham showdown

West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui during the Premier League match between West Ham United FC and Ipswich Town FC at London Stadium on October 5, 2024 in London, England. West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui believes Ange Postecoglou has made Tottenham one of the best teams in the Premier League. The Hammers are preparing to make the short trip to North London to face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 19 October. It is clear that the Spanish head coach has plenty of respect for his opposition boss, as shown by his kind prematch comments to The Mirror on 18 October (Page 57). He said: “They are one of the best teams in the Premier League. They have a big intensity and very good players. We have to be ready with an answer. “I think Ange changed a lot of things in their tea...

Spurs creep past Ferencvaros in Europa League

A much-changed Tottenham side ground out a 2-1 win away to Hungary’s Ferencvaros in the Europa League on Thursday. Goals either side of half-time from Pape Sarr and Brennan Johnson were enough to get Spurs their second win in two games in the competition this season despite a late Barnabas Varga consolation for the home side.

Spurs confirmed team vs Ferencvaros as Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear start

Ange Postecoglou has named Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear in his Tottenham Hotspur side to take on Ferencvaros on Thursday night in the Europa League. Spurs have plenty of players missing in Hungary, travelling without the injured Son Heung-min, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison, while Radu Dragusin is suspended and Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon, who flew over to train with the team, were both left out of the club's Europa League squad as there was no space for them.

Spurs expected team vs Qarabag – Mikey Moore decision amid Postecoglou changes

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou must decide how many changes he makes to his team to face Qarabag in the Europa League Ange Postecoglou has to balance his changes for Tottenham's Europa League clash against Qarabag on Thursday evening. The Spurs boss made eight changes to his starting XI for the Carabao Cup tie against Coventry and the disjointed performance almost cost the north London side their place in the fourth round. With that in mind, Postecoglou will be wary of making as many alterations for the visit of the Azerbaijani side to N17 even though it is only the first of eight matches at this stage in the large new league format. Postecoglou could hand minutes to Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr and he might also decide to hand 17-year-old Mikey Moore hi...

Tottenham reportedly preparing bid for Valencia midfielder

As per Spanish outlet Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur are prioritising the signing of Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra and are ready to push ahead with an offer in January. They report that the midfielder's performances over the last 18 months have caught the attention of numerous clubs in Europe, and Spurs are now ready to 'step up their pursuit'. They explain that Spurs are keen on adding to their midfield engine room, which marries up with several previous reports and links to other players. Spurs are expected to send a bid for the midfielder during the January transfer window. Valencia are said to be asking for 35 million Euros, which equates to around 29 million pounds - a fee that is described as an "obstacle" for the club, but there is belief that a "middle ground" can be agreed. Tottenh...

PSG Urged to Pursue Chelsea and Tottenham Target to Boost Consistency in No. 9 Role

Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres is attracting considerable attention, especially with his strong start to the 2024-25 season. Moreover, one pundit notes that the Swedish striker is a player Paris Saint-Germain should be pursuing. Over the summer, the Parisians were linked to strikers but opted to bet on Gonçalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani. Ramos injured himself early on this campaign, so Kolo Muani is the only No. 9. In the 1-0 UEFA Champions League win over Girona FC, the capital club’s lack of goal-scoring reared its ugly head as it had difficulty finishing its chances. As a result, the reigning Ligue 1 champions’ ability to finish is a topic of discussion. Canal+ pundit Samir Nasri notes that Gyökeres must be on the French giants’ radar because the player has consistently scored goals....

Tottenham expected to make offer for Ligue 1 star soon

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a last-minute addition to their squad, with Monaco's Vanderson emerging as a potential target. According to French outlet L'Equipe, Spurs are prepared to make a late bid for the Brazilian defender, who could add further depth to their already well-stocked right-back position. Tottenham’s interest in Vanderson comes as somewhat of a surprise, given that the club currently has several options at right-back. With Pedro Porro as the first-choice starter and Djed Spence poised to serve as his understudy, the position seems well-covered. Additionally, new signing Archie Gray has shown versatility by being able to fill in on the right side of the defense if needed. However, despite these options, the rumors surrounding Vanderson’s potential switch to...

Tottenham lose final pre-season friendly

Tottenham fell to a 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in an entertaining affair, or at least the first half, in North London. New signing Dominic Solanke, who was announced earlier in the day, was at the game, and was presented to the fans before kick-off. Former Spurs stalwarts Eric Dier and Harry Kane were both gifted commemorative awards pre-match for their service to Spurs over the years. Spurs starting line-up was; Vicario, Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma; Johnson, Maddison, Son; Kulusevski. The good vibes all around pre-game continued after Dejan Kulusevski gave the Spurs the lead from close range within the first minute. It was downhill from there, however - Bayern started to create chances and were rewarded for their perseverance as Dayot Upamecano tapped home a rebo...
