Sergio Reguilon’s career at Tottenham Hotspur appears set to end in the summer

Tottenham Hotspur are having a season to forget. The club is sitting 15th in the Premier League and the league campaign is already a write-off for many Spurs fans. However, not all is doom and gloom as they are still competing in the Europa League after reaching the quarter-finals of the competition this month.

The Lilywhites have been dealt with numerous injuries this season and this has led to manager Ange Postecoglou relying on squad players and backup options. However, some players have still not got the game time they would have expected after so many injury blows in the squad. One of those players who has barely played is left-back Sergio Reguilon. The 28-year-old has not been relied upon by Ange at all, even though the defence has been depleted this season.

As per Sofascore, the Spain international has played just 121 minutes of Premier League football this season. It can even be said that the fans were not expecting the ex-Sevilla player to play a single minute for the club this season, but circumstances have led Ange to name Reguilon in the matchday squad.

Sergio Reguilon heading for the exit at Tottenham

Sergio Reguilon joined Tottenham Hotspur from Real Madrid in 2020 and was deemed to be an exciting signing. The Spain international has an impressive first campaign with the club as well under then-manager Jose Mourinho. However, things have gone downhill since then and Reguilon has just failed to make the left-back position his own.

According to the Sunday Mirror newspaper via Football.london , Sergio Reguilon is willing to head back to Spain in the summer on a free transfer. The 28-year-old only has three months remaining on his Spurs contract and it is being reported that Sevilla and Real Sociedad are taking an interest in signing the Tottenham outcast. The report also claims that Italian and Saudi clubs are also interested in signing the left-back.

It was also reported last summer by Fabrizio Romano that Ange Postecoglou was willing to offload Reguilon before the season started. However, with only a year left in his contract at that time, the Lilywhites failed to find a suitor and were stuck with the defender for the season.

Sergio Reguilon’s Tottenham Hotspur career will always be touted as a failure. The 28-year-old was an exciting prospect in his Real Madrid days and in an ideal world, could have made the left-back position his own at N17 for years to come. But it just hasn’t worked out for the player and his career seems to be at a standstill.

A move to Spain might just reignite his career and get him back to his best. La Liga also seems to be an ideal league for Reguilon as it matches his style of play and is a much slower league so it will be easier for the defender to settle down and get his game rhythm back.

Tottenham Hotspur are willing to offload Yves Bissouma this summer amid Aston Villa interest

Tottenham Hotspur are anticipating a busy summer transfer window after an underwhelming 2024/25 season.

The club chiefs have to offload some underperforming players and free up their wage bill in the summer to make new additions to their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. After a torrid, mentally and physically taxing campaign, it is obvious that they would look to make some radical changes to the squad and back the gaffer.

Spurs are reportedly considering offers for Yves Bissouma as he is on course to enter the final year of his contract. The Mali international has struggled to maintain the standards and consistency levels at White Hart Lane since arriving from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 2022—both on and off the pitch—the Lilywhites want to cash him in this summer.

Yves Bissouma is a Premier League-proven commodity and it is not surprising that clubs across the division would be interested in securing his services if made available for transfer. According to an exclusive report from GIVEMESPORT, Aston Villa could make a move for the Tottenham midfielder.

Bissouma has offers from England and France, where he previously enjoyed success with LOSC Lille before Brighton snapped him up. Aston Villa want to sign the African enforcer as they look to establish themselves as regular contenders for European football.

Unai Emery has already this season that he is able to rejuvenate the careers of players who are struggling with form. Both Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio are great examples, as they have been excellent since arriving at Villa Park on loan from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively.

Perhaps, Emery wants to create a similar trick by signing Bissouma on a cut-price deal, with Tottenham willing to sell him after Ange Postecoglou has grown frustrated with the central midfielder’s underwhelming displays this season. The Mali star has also had a few injury issues, adding to his lack of consistency in performance levels.

Postecoglou prefers the likes of Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison in the middle of the park, and that coupled with Bissouma set to enter the final year of his contract on July 1 ( Transfermarkt), means Aston Villa could take advantage of the situation. Plus, the Villans are in a good position to qualify for Europe again, which should be tempting for Bissouma rather than returning to France.

That being said, Tottenham must try to get a decent fee from Villa for Bissouma, who is not a part of Postecoglou or our club’s plans going forward.

Kevin Danso believes that Tottenham Hotspur have a high chance of winning a major trophy this season

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kevin Danso attended the pre-match press conference before their crucial knockout game against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. The Austrian international seemed very hopeful that Spurs would end the season on a high.

The English club is struggling in the Premier League this season, sitting in the bottom half. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has been heavily criticised for his side’s playing style and results have not gone their way at all.

However, Tottenham Hotspur are still in the Europa League knockouts and are one of the favourites to win the competition. The Australian manager has also said openly that he tends to win a trophy in his second season at a club, so his side will have to be at their absolute best if they want to make that possible.

Spurs defender Kevin Danso was asked about the hunger in the squad to win a trophy. The Austrian replied by saying,

“100% and I think it’s possible. I said before the United game with the week of training that we had with some of the injured lads coming back – it was a lot of positive energy around the place and we ended up with that game and kept a clean sheet.”

The 26-year-old went on to add,

“It’s the same feeling now with Mickey and Cuti back in the squad and everybody is wanting to finish the season strong. We know what a great team we have so now it’s down to us to prove it in every training session and game and try to make an impact.”

The wait for a trophy goes on for Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur’s name has been synonymous with “trophyless.” The North London club last won a major trophy back in 2008 when they beat Chelsea to win the Carling Cup. It has been a long 17 years since that memorable day and the club has been through a lot since then.

Spurs have come close to winning the Premier League, the Champions League and the Carabao Cup since then. But every time, the fans have had to head home in disappointment.

However, Spurs fans will be hopeful this year to win the Europa League with Big Ange at the helm. Many fans feel the Australian is the right man for the club and will end the campaign on a high by winning a major trophy.

There is a lot of talent in the squad and Ange Postecoglou has the ability to get the best out of them, although the results may not reflect that. Tottenham Hotspur fans will be hopeful that this is the year when they finally win a major trophy and change the course of their club’s history and let’s wait and see if the Australian-Greek tactician is the man to break the rut.

Ange Postecoglou has been fortifying the North Londoners’ interest in bringing in a new forward in the upcoming summer window as the Australian head coach looks to add offensive flair and depth to his roster, and Tottenham Hotspur has been looking to make a move for highly touted wide forward Ademola Lookman.

Lookman has been playing some exceptional football for Atalanta for a while, and his development with the Serie A giants has attracted interest from multiple Premier League clubs, including the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, alongside Tottenham.

Lookman can take the limelight from Son

Ange Postecoglou loves his wide wingers. Ake on their places and creates solutions in a stable final third play while also possessing that pace and power to get better of their opponents in a transitional situation, and this is everything that Lookman brings and more.

With the club moving forward from ageing Son, they need someone to take on the limelight and the pressure that comes with it, and the former Leipzig wide forward can ideally do so.

But Tottenham now has new competition for his signature…

Newcastle are interested and he does fit in at St. James Park

Premier League heavyweights Newcastle United are said to be looking at the 27-year-old, with the Magpies scouts spotted looking at the player, per Football Insider.

His ability to slot across the front line (left wing, right wing, and in a second striker role) goes very much with how Eddie Howe prefers to have his forward players, and while they are prioritising to bring in a new right winger when the summer comes around. But if you look at Lookman and his versatility, it can help Howe to rotate Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak upfront and add that tactical unpredictability to the team.

It’s going to be easy to get him out of Atalanta

Any move for the 27-year-old could come easy given the former Everton ace’s public fallout with manager Gian Piero Gasperini after the latter criticised Lookman following his missed penalty against Club Brugge, which saw Atalanta getting knocked out of the Champions League on a 5-2 aggregate score, and these comments were later described as “deeply disrespectful” by the player—which fuels a summer exit.

It is to be seen how this goes, but every added competitor makes it more complicated for Tottenham to vie for his signature, as Levy will want to avoid an auction-like situation with multiple positions to reinforce.

Tottenham Hotspur face a fight on their hands to land Eberechi Eze

Tottenham Hotspur have been in search of a left-sided attacking midfielder to bolster their attack and improve their chances to win a trophy under Ange Postecoglou. The North London club continue to be interested in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze as they consider him as an important target for their summer transfer window.

However, it has been reported by Fabrizio Romano in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter that there is a release clause inserted in the 26-year-old’s contract and any deal would be “difficult” to complete. Spurs have been long-term admirers of the England international and have always been in the running to sign him, alongside other top six clubs.

When asked if the interest from Tottenham Hotspur was genuine, Fabrizio Romano said,

“He’s been on the Spurs list since 2023, he’s always been highly rated at the club. But the release clause is very expensive and the payment for the clause is not allowed in 3 or 4 years as usually happens, so that’s what makes the deal difficult – and there are more clubs also keen.”

It is not likely that the England international heads to Spurs in the summer as a number of clubs will be in the running for him and a complex release clause will make it difficult for the North London club to move for him. Given this development, it remains to be seen if Spurs are better off pursuing other targets who are easy to attain.

Eberechi Eze will be an ideal signing for Tottenham Hotspur

Eberechi Eze has been one of the standout performers for Crystal Palace ever since joining the club in 2020 from Queens Park Rangers. The 26-year-old has made the left-sided No. 10 position his own and has been a consistent performer for Oliver Glasner’s side.

Tottenham need a proven Premier League player to provide competition in the attack. Eze seems to fit the bill as he could play in behind the striker as an attacking midfielder, as well as play on the left wing and cut inside to create chances. The Palace star tends to find half spaces in the final third of the pitch and create chances for his teammates. He also suits Spurs’ style of play as he can cover ground and counter-press by endlessly running throughout the whole game, something which Ange Postecoglou demands from his own players.

Eze leads his team in assists this season in the league with six assists to his name. The former Milwall academy player also has 2.1 Key Passes Per Game for his team, which ranks him first for chances created. Spurs will be looking to add him to their attack as he could be a perfect replacement for James Maddison, who has struggled with injuries and form of late. The North London club could also see him as a potential future replacement for their star winger, Heung-Min Son.

Signing Eze would be a huge boost for Ange Postecoglou and his side’s chances of winning a major trophy and ending the trophy drought.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is under pressure after a torrid run of results in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-1 by local rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night—their 11th defeat of the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Spurs have slipped to 14th in the table after Manchester United won 3-1 against Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday. After their latest defeat in the North London derby, debates have started to stir and questions have begun to be asked about whether Daniel Levy should persist with Ange Postecoglou at the helm or look to make an immediate change.

Ange Postecoglou has had to deal with a host of injuries that have decimated his squad, but there’s no doubt results have been underwhelming for the best part of the last two to three months. The Greek-Aussie tactician was “gutted” after the defeat to Arsenal and felt a club of Tottenham’s stature cannot afford to be losing 11 out of 21 Premier League fixtures. Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has called for his sacking after the North London derby setback.

Daniel Levy and Co. are still backing Postecoglou, although they are looking at managerial candidates as part of normal succession planning. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are keeping an eye on Edin Terzic to become their new boss, should they decide to part ways with Postecoglou at any part of the season.

Only three of the bottom four Premier League teams—Southampton, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers—have lost more games than Spurs, which leaves Big Ange in a precarious position. The North Londoners have plans in place for the head coach, but if the 59-year-old is relieved of his duties, one of those names that could replace him is Edin Terzic.

The aforementioned report adds Terzic is ‘appreciated’ by the Spurs hierarchy including Levy and he is someone they may end up targeting should Big Ange be sacked. The Hotspur Way chiefs, though, have no plans to boot out the ex-Celtic tactician at this point but his position could be evaluated at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

As far as Terzic is concerned, he left Borussia Dortmund last summer despite guiding them to the Champions League final in June 2024, which they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium. The German tactician had departed Dortmund after he asked the club “to terminate his contract with immediate effect”.

The 42-year-old, who was recently sounded out by West Ham during their search for a new manager before appointing Graham Potter as Julen Lopetegui’s successor, would be very much interested in managing a Premier League team.

As things stand, Big Ange has the full backing of the club chiefs but there is huge pressure on him to turn things around quickly at White Hart Lane. Should things not improve and Spurs exit from the cup competitions, we feel Levy may not wait until the summer but pull the trigger on Big Ange and replace him with Terzic.

Richarlison and Mikey Moore are closing on a return to action for Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou is once again without several Tottenham Hotspur first-team players owing to respective injury issues.

Spurs’ injury crisis was exacerbated last weekend in the 2-2 draw with Wolves when Destiny Udogie suffered a hamstring injury. The left-back has been ruled out for six weeks minimum, joining the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison on the sidelines. Also, a foolish yellow card in injury time from Rodrigo Bentancur has led to a one-game ban, which he will serve against Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Tottenham boss faced the media on Friday ahead of Newcastle United’s visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He provided an injury update on his players, which included encouraging news on Richarlison and Mikey Moore.

“At this stage Richy and Mikey Moore are the next cabs off the rank, we’re hoping next week,” Ange Postecoglou said in his pre-match press conference (h/t Football London).

Richarlison has been in and out of the Tottenham side, largely due to his injury issues, since arriving in a £60million deal from Everton in the summer of 2022. The 27-year-old has barely featured for Postecoglou’s side this season. Back-to-back hamstring injuries have limited him to only five Premier League appearances, thereby, failing to provide backup to club-record signing Dominic Solanke.

As for Mikey Moore, the youngster has caused a lot of excitement while breaking into the first-team Spurs squad this season. Although just 17 years old, the winger has appeared eight times so far this term. But it has been a difficult couple of months for the prodigious talent, missing 13 games in total. The academy boy has been training with the group for a couple of weeks as he regains full fitness.

This dual update on Richarlison and Moore is a breath of fresh air for the White Hart Lane faithful who have been tired of watching players get injured and drop out of the squad like flies.

Richarlison’s comeback—after an injury-ravaged first part of the campaign—will be significant given his ability to contribute both assists and goals. Meanwhile, Moore’s recovery from a bad virus, will be equally helpful, providing options in attack and tactical flexibility to Big Ange ahead of important games across all competitions.

The importance of Richarlison and Moore’s return cannot come sooner, especially in the context of Spurs’ current predicament.

Tottenham Hotspur silky winger Bryan Gil has found his groove in the Spanish top tier, playing some impressive football in his loan deal at Girona, and his impressive performances have had them exploring the possibility of signing the wide forward on a permanent basis.

The North Londoners didn’t enjoy the best of Gil during his tenure at White Hart Lane, given how frustratingly it ended after Daniel Levy brought the 23-year-old in a £21.6 million transfer, with Erik Lamela moving to Sevilla as part of the deal in what was tagged as a bargain transfer in 2021.

The Spaniard did get to feature under Ange Postecoglou in the last season, which was the Australian head coach’s first season in charge at Hotspur Way, and many believed that the former Celtic man would bring the best out of Gil, although that didn’t turn out to be the case, and he ended up joining Girona in a loan transfer for the ongoing campaign.

Gil thriving at Girona

And Michel Sanchez didn’t take long to get the best out of Gil, so much so that the player has already received a Spain call-up, and given his performances, a call-up to the national side could become a consistent occurrence soon.

Content with his output Girona is exploring possibilities to bring Gil to the Spanish top tier on a permanent basis, with Michel looking at the 23-year-old as an integral part of his roster at Estadi Montilivi, per AS.

“Crazy good prospect” – Club insider can’t wait for sensational teenager who is due to arrive at Tottenham next

The North Londoners are likely to demand a figure surrounding €15 million to sell Bryan Gil, which does seem reasonable given his performances of late.

Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck has been watched by Tottenham scouts this season

Tottenham Hotspur have had an up-and-down season in the Premier League and rightly find themselves 10th in the table.

Ange Postecoglou did enjoy a productive summer transfer window that saw the club bring in players such as Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert while re-signing Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig. However, with the Spurs boss struggling to get consistent results, thanks majorly to several injury problems, the club are planning to invest in the January transfer window.

Injuries to Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies have left Ange Postecoglou with just one fit central defender in Radu Dragusin. The Australian tactician has been forced to deploy Archie Gray—a midfielder by trade—in central defence alongside Dragusin for the last few games. Due to their defensive options being stretched to thin, Tottenham want to sign a central defender next month.

Postecoglou knows he can’t go through another window without strengthening his backline, and Spurs have been linked with a move for Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck. However, they aren’t the only club interested in his services.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham and West Ham United had their scouts present to watch Yann Bisseck in action during Inter Milan’s recent game against Parma. He assisted Marcus Thuram’s goal as Inter beat Parma 3-1 at home. The scouts apparently received glowing reports on the defender’s performance.

Having arrived at Inter Milan from German side Aarhus in July 2023, Yann Bisseck took time to adjust to the pace and tactical demands of Serie A football. Slowly he grew into an important squad player for the Nerazzurri last season and ended up making 21 appearances across all competitions.

This season, though, he has featured more prominently for Simone Inzaghi’s side, starting seven league games of 15. The Cologne-born talent has delivered some strong performances in the Champions League as well, most notably the 1-0 win over Arsenal at the start of November. A week later after the Arsenal game, Bisseck extended his contract at the San Siro until the summer of 2029 (Transfermarkt) but that hasn’t stopped the likes of Spurs and West Ham from vying for his signature in January.

The aforementioned report adds both the London clubs are ready to test Inter’s resolve in the winter transfer window, but West Ham are likely to have a slight edge in any negotiations because of the German connection thanks to their technical director, Tim Steidten.

Although a final decision is yet to be made on the 24-year-old’s future, Inter will find it difficult to resist offers in the region of £35m, which interestingly both Spurs and West Ham are expected to offer. Given Bisseck’s versatility, potential and mix of technical skills and physicality, Tottenham must do everything within their powers to beat their London counterparts for his signature next month.

Tottenham told to consider Thomas Frank appointment

Tottenham Hotspur have been started to be linked with a number of other managers following their poor run of form, which might see Ange Postecoglou lose his job. The Australian’s position in the immediate future is unlikely to be very fragile, though there could be a decision on the board’s hands if there is no marked change in proceedings by the time 2025 gets underway.

Jan Molby, a former Liverpool player, has advised Tottenham Hotspur to consider the appointment of Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou if indeed he were to be shown the door. Frank has done a fantastic job with Brentford, who have become a regular team in the Premier League in recent seasons and have played some attractive football alongside that.

TBR Football quoted Molby saying the following words about his compatriot, Thomas Frank.

“I have no more doubts, he is the right man for Tottenham. he squad they have fits Thomas Frank, 100 per cent. Look at the players and the way Thomas Frank plays. I think it’s perfect.”

Much of Brentford’s success in the past few years can be attributed to Thomas Frank, who has gotten the job done with limited resources. His tactical brilliance has been visible this season in particular as well after Ivan Toney’s departure for Saudi Arabia, thus prompting links with bigger clubs, including Manchester United before they eventually ended up hiring Ruben Amorim.

For him to join Tottenham, however, would be a backward step as in a few more years, he could be on the verge of joining someone far bigger and better. At Hotspur Way, he will join a long list of managers who have been deemed as failures solely due to the board’s terrible business in building the squad, like they are seeming to do with Postecoglou in due course.
