It's time to check in on the club's large group of players out on loan across the UK, Europe and South America after another busy week
Tottenham Hotspur are in a perpetual injury crisis that began before the season even started. There are ebbs and flows even amidst this constant state of missing out on key players, and, right now, Spurs are entering another rough period on the injury front.
Martin Ho spoke to the media at Hotspur Way on Friday morning, ahead of our Barclays Women’s Super League clash against Leicester City on Sunday (12noon UK).
Here are some key points on what he had to say..
Martin on how Signe Gaupset has settled into the group…
Barcelona have Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven in their defensive target list.
That’s according to Sport, who report the La Liga winners aim to improve their defence and have identified a few targets.
Tottenham Hotspur have continued to trim their squad this winter, with another academy player set to head out on loan as the reshuffle gathers pace.
While Tottenham Hotspur are yet to see a flurry of incomings this winter window, there has been no shortage of outgoings so far.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur are ‘closing in on a deal’ to sign a new defender, though there is one ‘final detail missing’.
Spurs have been a shambles in recent months as they are on a dire run of only three wins in their last 13 matches.
The devastating rash of injuries that has plagued Tottenham Hotspur continued in the aftermath of the loss to Bournemouth this week. Spurs already came into the season with Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison out for an extended period, and those guys are still not anywhere near a return.
Personally, it felt like all of the Thomas Frank chatter was way too premature given that the new manager had been in North London for just a few months, but it does look more and more likely that this will not be a long tenure.
Tottenham's 3-2 defeat by Bournemouth on Wednesday added to the air of frustration surrounding Thomas Frank's team.
The result left Tottenham languishing in 14th position in the Premier League table with just seven wins from 21 league matches.
