The January transfer window has been relatively quiet in comparison to previous years, but arguably the biggest story on deadline day revolved around Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel. The French forward was subject to a €60 million offer from Tottenham Hotspur but he turned down that opportunity. But in a dramatic U-turn, Tel has now joined Tottenham on a straight-loan deal until the end of the season in a major boost to injury-depleted Spurs. The deal also reportedly includes an option to buy for €55m + €5m in add-ons on a potential six-year contract. Tel will wear the number 11 shirt for Tottenham.

Why does Mathys Tel want to leave Bayern Munich?

Tel made the move to Bayern in the summer of 2022 as something of an unknown quantity, when the Bundesliga giants paid €20 million to sign the striker after just 10 first team appearances for Stade Rennais. Based largely off the back of his performances at youth level, Tel was seen as a player for the future and as a result featured as little more than an impact sub in his first season in Germany. Over the course of 28 games the young striker averaged around 21 minutes per appearance, but still bagged a respectable six goals in all competitions. In the following season, Tel’s stature in the Bayern first team grew as his minutes more than doubled and the striker bagged 10 goals and six assists in 41 appearances. However, the player was still seen as a back-up to Bayern’s starting XI and in many cases was filling in for injured stars rather than nailing down a consistent role in the team.

The January transfer window has been relatively quiet in comparison to previous years, but arguably the biggest story on deadline day revolves around Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel. The French forward's future has developed into a saga across recent weeks with several Premier League clubs interested. Tel was subject of a €60 million offer from Tottenham Hotspur but he turned down that opportunity. But in a dramatic U-turn, Tel is now poised to join Tottenham on a straight-loan deal until the end of the season in a major boost to injury-depleted Spurs.

Why does Mathys Tel want to leave Bayern Munich?

Tel made the move to Bayern in the summer of 2022 as something of an unknown quantity, when the Bundesliga giants paid €20 million to sign the striker after just 10 first team appearances for Stade Rennais. Based largely off the back of his performances at youth level, Tel was seen as a player for the future and as a result featured as little more than an impact sub in his first season in Germany. Over the course of 28 games the young striker averaged around 21 minutes per appearance, but still bagged a respectable six goals in all competitions. In the following season, Tel’s stature in the Bayern first team grew as his minutes more than doubled and the striker bagged 10 goals and six assists in 41 appearances. However, the player was still seen as a back-up to Bayern’s starting XI and in many cases was filling in for injured stars rather than nailing down a consistent role in the team.

Indeed, over the course of the 23/24 season, Tel started just six league games and just one Champions League clash. Much of this was due to the fact that Harry Kane was Bayern’s undisputed striker, while the two wing positions were fiercely contested by the likes of Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala. That competition only got tougher this season, when Bayern forked out €53m to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, after appointing a new head coach in Vincent Kompany who has largely overlooked Tel in his first team plans. To date, the French forward has started just two out of Bayern’s 19 league games and has come off the bench on just six occasions. As such, in many ways Tel is not only struggling to break into Bayern’s starting XI but now seems to be going backwards at the club this season.

Tottenham have moved quickly to secure a loan deal for Kevin Danso from Lens amid strong interest from another Premier League club. Wolves had made the centre-back their priority target and it’s understood that the deal was very advanced. The Midlands club had booked a medical for Danso but he has joined Spurs on-loan until the end of the season with an obligation to buy clause inserted.

Tottenham’s injury issues at centre-back this season are well-documented with first-choice duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven missing sustained periods. And their problems in defence were heightened on Thursday night when Radu Dragusin sustained a suspected serious knee injury. Spurs supporters have bemoaned their lack of transfer activity this month amid their injury crisis but they’ve secured the addition of former Southampton defender Danso.

Kevin Danso wants to win trophies at Tottenham

The 26-year-old was delighted to complete the deal, stating: “It feels amazing to be here at the club, I always wanted to play for a big club in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur is exactly that. I think as soon as you here Tottenham Hotspur is interested then I think the only thing you can do is say yes. It's an amazing project and I'm happy to be here. Opportunities to win trophies is I think every kid's dream growing up, to be winning trophies at a club like Tottenham Hotspur. I hope we can win a couple of trophies."

Brentford FC - Tottenham Hotspur prediction & tips 02.02.2025

The Premier League clash between Brentford FC and Tottenham Hotspur is set to take place on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at 15:00 local time. The match, part of Matchday 24, will be hosted at the Brentford Community Stadium. Both teams find themselves in the middle of the table, with Brentford sitting in 11th place with 28 points, while Spurs are struggling in 15th position with 24 points. This encounter promises to be an intriguing battle as both sides aim to climb the league standings.

Our betting prediction for Brentford FC vs Tottenham Hotspur:

Our primary betting tip for this match is a home win for Brentford FC. The Bees have shown impressive form at home this season, with seven wins, two draws, and only three defeats. In contrast, Tottenham's away record has been poor, managing just three wins, one draw, and seven losses on the road. Given these statistics, backing Brentford at odds of 2.37 with 1win appears to be a value bet.

Our second betting prediction is that both teams will score. Brentford and Tottenham have been involved in high-scoring affairs this season, with the Bees netting 40 goals and conceding 39, while Spurs have scored 45 and let in 35. The odds for both teams to score are 1.35 with Paripesa, which reflects the likelihood of this outcome.

Brentford FC - Home Fortress

Brentford have established themselves as a formidable force at home this season, with their impressive record of seven wins, two draws, and three defeats at the Brentford Community Stadium. This strong home form has been crucial in their climb to 11th place in the Premier League table.

In their last outing, the Bees suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Liverpool FC, which ended a run of positive results. Despite this setback, Thomas Frank's side have shown resilience and adaptability throughout the season, often punching above their weight against more established Premier League sides.

Frank's tactical acumen has been evident in Brentford's performances, with the Danish manager employing a versatile system that can shift between a back three and a back four depending on the opposition. This flexibility has allowed the Bees to maximize their strengths and exploit weaknesses in their opponents' setups.

Brentford's goal-scoring prowess has been particularly noteworthy this season, with the team netting 40 goals in 22 matches. However, their defensive record of 39 goals conceded suggests there is room for improvement at the back. Frank will be keen to address this issue as they prepare to face a Tottenham side capable of scoring freely.

Spurs Seeking Away Day Redemption

Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in an unfamiliar 15th position in the Premier League table, a far cry from their usual top-six aspirations. With just 24 points from 22 matches, Spurs have endured a challenging campaign thus far, particularly struggling on their travels.

The North London club's away record of three wins, one draw, and seven defeats is a cause for concern for manager Angelos Postecoglou. However, Tottenham will be buoyed by their recent 3-2 away victory against 1899 Hoffenheim, which could serve as a turning point for their fortunes on the road.

Postecoglou, known for his attacking philosophy, has maintained Spurs' offensive output with 45 goals scored this season. However, the team's defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 35 goals in the process. The Greek-Australian coach will be working hard to strike a balance between attack and defense as they face a potent Brentford side.

Tottenham's recent form has shown signs of improvement, with three wins in their last five matches across all competitions. This upturn in results could provide the confidence boost needed to overcome their away day blues and challenge Brentford's strong home record.

Last Direct Encounters

The most recent meeting between these two sides resulted in a 3-1 home victory for Tottenham Hotspur. However, the head-to-head record over the last five encounters across all competitions is closely contested, with Brentford securing one win, Tottenham claiming two victories, and two matches ending in draws.

H2H Stats

Recent Form

Examining the last five fixtures for both teams reveals contrasting fortunes. Brentford have struggled for consistency, managing just one win, one draw, and three defeats. On the other hand, Tottenham have shown signs of improvement with three wins and two losses in their last five outings.

In conclusion, our match prediction favors a home win for Brentford FC. This assessment is based on the Bees' strong home record, Tottenham's poor away form, and the overall performance of both teams this season. While Spurs have shown recent signs of improvement, Brentford's home advantage and tactical flexibility under Thomas Frank give them the edge in this encounter. However, given both teams' attacking capabilities, we expect an entertaining match with goals at both ends.

A flurry of Premier League sides are reportedly chasing the signature of Ajax striker Brian Brobbey. After a slow start to the January transfer window, England’s biggest clubs have finally got to work in their attempts to lure new players to their squads before the window slams shut. And according to numerous reports, no less than three clubs in the English top-flight are racing to sign Ajax’s 22-year-old goalscoring talent.

Rumour B. Brobbey Centre-Forward

Ajax ? Everton Eredivisie Premier League

The first club linked with a move for the player were West Ham. The Hammers are in desperate need of more options in attack due to some nasty injuries this season, so it came as no surprise when the Daily Mail reported that the London club had enquired about signing Brobbey on loan, with an obligation to buy the striker in the summer. However, Fabrizio Romano then followed up on that story by stating that Tottenham were also interested in signing the striker on loan this month and would be willing to match West Ham’s offer. As if that wasn’t already intriguing enough, Dutch publication Telegraaf then reported that Everton had also contacted the Eredivisie side to ask about Brobbey’s availability. So why are three Premier League clubs so desperate to sign Brobbey?

Despite only being 22 years of age, Brobbey has been a name of interest for English clubs for quite some time. After bursting onto the scene for Ajax in the 2020/21 season, when he bagged six goals and two assists in 19 appearances for the Dutch club, Brobbey was deemed a young star in the making. This then led to a sudden move to RB Leipzig in Germany, however that deal didn’t work out at all for the striker and after returning on loan to the Dutch side, he then returned to Ajax permanently in 2022 for a fee of €16.3 million. Brobbey then returned the renewed loyalty shown in his former side by enjoying impressive back-to-back seasons with the club, scoring 35 goals as well as 13 assists in 62 league games, leading to both Manchester United and Arsenal reportedly taking an interest in the player. However, that interest never amounted to any serious offers and Brobbey remained an Ajax player. But that could be about to change.

Are Ajax willing to sell Brian Brobbey?

Although most of the aforementioned reports state that Ajax would prefer to recoup cash for the player in the immediate term with an immediate transfer, there’s very little doubt that Brobbey could be sold for the right price. Which may seem odd, considering his meteoric rise at the Dutch giants. However, while the young striker did well in his first two seasons back at the club, this season has been far from ideal. In 29 appearances across all competitions, Brobbey has managed just three goals and looks far from the player he once was for Ajax. “Last season, he was great, at least the second half of the season,” said Kevin Lux, Transfermarkt’s Eredivisie expert, when asked about Brobbey’s form this season. “He was the main reason Ajax got out of the slump they were in. His form even resulted in rumours that Manchester United was interested in him. This season, however, he has trouble scoring goals. In the beginning, people thought it was just bad luck, but lately his lack of goals is said to be caused by confidence issues.” Whether it be due to form or Brobbey simply wishing to test himself at a higher level, it seems almost certain that Ajax would be more than happy to sell the player this month if an opportunity to do so presented itself.

Is Brian Brobbey good enough for the Premier League?

But how good is Brobbey and should Premier League fans be wary of the player’s dip in form at Ajax? ”That is a difficult one to answer,” noted Lux when asked if the young striker was ready for English football. “Right now, he has trouble with finding the net in the Eredivisie, which is considered to be a striker's heaven. Attackers that can't seem to score goals, can become top scorers in the Dutch league, so if you can't score here as a striker, you will have a hard time in the Premier League. But on the other hand, this period might just be a long slump and with his physical abilities, he could be an ideal signing for a Premier League club.” Coupled with his poor form in Germany, where Brobbey failed to score a single goal in just 14 appearances for RB Leipzig, there’s little doubt that the young striker simply didn’t impress in the Bundesliga, but it could equally be argued that he hasn’t had the opportunity to prove himself at a higher level. And when we consider what his main attributes are, it’s not hard to see why the likes of Everton, West Ham and Spurs are interested in signing the forward.

“His main strengths are his physical abilities,” added Lux, before admitting that he’s not entirely sure how the young striker would fit in at a new club with the demands of the English top-flight. “Brobbey isn't a very technical striker, but makes up for that by being very strong physically. I'm still not sure what his best role is: being a target man or being the type of striker that will hold the ball and wait for teammates to arrive.” Whether he will be good enough to score the goals needed for a new team in England remains to be seen, but there’s little doubt that what he’s achieved to date has earned him plenty of attention from some of the Premier League’s biggest sides. And now, perhaps, he may finally get an opportunity to confirm that he was indeed worth all the buzz.

Things went from bad to worse for Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham on Sunday, as his Spurs team were taken apart in the first-half against relegation candidates Everton at Goodison Park. After a second half fight-back, they eventually succumbed to a 3-2 loss to the Toffees, which leaves them 15th in the Premier League table. Spurs have now won just one league game since November, and that was a victory against bottom-placed Southampton.

When assessing the reasons behind their calamitous fall, it's hard to look past the injury crisis that has struck Postecoglou's defence. Both first-choice centre-backs in Micky van De Ven and Cristian Romero have been unavailable, and with Spurs' high-line such a key component of their play under their Australian manager, Radu Drăgușin and make-shift centre-half Archie Gray have often looked severely exposed. It looks likely Tottenham will have to dip further into the market this January, but having already spent significant amounts of money over the past few seasons, it's unlikely they will be able to break the bank. The club have spent over €600m in the last three seasons and could face breaching the Premier League's PSR rules if they spend heavily again. Here at Transfermarkt, we have picked out five centre-halves with a market value of €25m or less that Tottenham could target this winter.

Five centre-backs worth €25m or less that Tottenham could sign this January

Milan Skriniar - PSG - €15m

According to reports, Tottenham are eyeing a move for PSG defender Milan Skriniar to address their injury crisis this January. The 29-year-old established himself as one of Europe's leading centre-backs during his time at Inter Milan, though his PSG career has not quite gone to plan. The Slovakian joined the Parisians on a free transfer in 2023, but has made only five Ligue 1 appearances under Luis Enrique this season and not played a single minute in the Champions League. He has a current market value of €15m, with PSG thought to be willing to loan him out this winter. One potentially stumbling block could be his lucrative wages, which are reported to be north of €350k a week.

Tosin Adarabioyo - Chelsea - €20m

Another player with more Premier League experience who has been linked with Spurs this month is Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo. The 27 year old was brought in on a free transfer from Fulham in the summer, but has had limited game-time at Stamford Bridge to date. However, with Chelsea's first-choice centre-back pairing of Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill currently injured, Adarabioyo has begun getting more minutes and has actually scored three goals in his last three games for the Blues. Chelsea may also be hesitant to do business with a London rival.

Fikayo Tomori - AC MIlan - €22m

According to reports, one of the centre-backs who have caught Tottenham's attention is AC Milan star Fikayo Tomori. The England international has only started 12 of Milan's 20 Serie A matches this season, and could be open to a move to back to the Premier League. He also possesses pace which is a key attribute in Postecoglou's system. Tomori has a current market value of €22m, and was signed from Chelsea by the Italian giants for €35.3m back in 2021. He has made over 150 appearances for AC Milan.

Jarrel Quansah - Liverpool - €22m

Since being dragged at half-time in Liverpool's opening Premier League game against Ipswich back in August, the 21 year old Jarell Quansah has played just 180 league minutes. His only start since then was at right-back in a 3-3 draw with Newcastle. The ball-playing centre-half could perhaps look to push for a move away from Anfield this winter, and Tottenham could be a potentially ideal location where he would be guaranteed more game-time. However, with Liverpool firm favourites for the Premier League title, Quansah may want to stick around and get a winners medal at the club he came through at.

Thomas Kristensen - Udinese - €4.5m

A potential cheaper option who has been strongly rumoured with a move to Spurs in recent days is Udinese centre-back Thomas Kristensen. The Dane has a market value of just €4.5m, and according to reports in England, both Tottenham and Leicester are chasing the 23 year old, with Juventus also though to be interested. He has played 10 Serie A games for Udinese this term, and was signed for €5m from Danish club Aarhus in the summer of 2023.

Things went from bad to worse for Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham on Sunday, as his Spurs team were taken apart in the first-half against relegation candidates Everton at Goodison Park. After a second half fight-back, they eventually succumbed to a 3-2 loss to the Toffees, which leaves them 15th in the Premier League table. Spurs have now won just one league game since November, and that was a victory against bottom-placed Southampton.

Everton FC - Tottenham Hotspur prediction & tips 19.01.2025

The Premier League clash between Everton FC and Tottenham Hotspur is set to take place on Sunday, 19th January 2025, at 15:00 at Goodison Park. This matchday 22 fixture will be officiated by Darren Jon Herbert from England. Both teams find themselves in the lower half of the table, with Everton struggling in 16th place and Tottenham sitting in 13th position. This encounter promises to be a crucial battle as both sides aim to climb up the league standings.

Our betting prediction for Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur:

Our betting tip for this Premier League encounter favors an away win for Tottenham Hotspur. The North London side has shown better form overall this season, with more wins and a significantly better goal difference compared to their Merseyside opponents. Additionally, Spurs have a strong recent record against Everton, including a 4-0 victory in their last meeting.

Our tips

This match has ended or all pre-match betting is closed.

For those looking to enhance their potential returns, considering a handicap bet on Tottenham could be worthwhile, given their status as favorites. Our second betting prediction suggests that both teams will score, based on the attacking capabilities of both sides and their defensive vulnerabilities.

Everton FC - Fighting for Survival

Everton find themselves in a precarious position, sitting just above the relegation zone with 17 points from 20 matches. The Toffees have struggled to find consistency this season, managing only three wins, eight draws, and nine defeats. Their goal difference of 15:26 highlights their difficulties at both ends of the pitch.

In their most recent outing, Everton suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, further denting their confidence. Manager David Moyes, in his second spell at the club, faces an uphill battle to steer the team away from the drop zone. The Scotsman's tactical approach has often been criticized for being too conservative, but he may need to adopt a more aggressive stance to turn things around.

Everton's home form has been particularly disappointing, with just two wins, four draws, and four losses at Goodison Park. This record will be a concern for Moyes as they prepare to face a Tottenham side capable of scoring goals. The Toffees will need to shore up their defense while also finding ways to improve their goal-scoring output if they hope to climb the table.

Tottenham Hotspur - Seeking Consistency

Tottenham Hotspur enter this fixture in 13th place with 24 points, having won seven, drawn three, and lost eleven of their matches so far. Despite their mid-table position, Spurs have been one of the more prolific teams in the league, scoring 43 goals while conceding 32.

Their last outing resulted in a 2-1 away defeat to North London rivals Arsenal FC, a result that will have disappointed manager Angelos Postecoglou. The Greek-Australian coach has implemented an attacking philosophy since taking charge, which is evident in the team's goal tally, but defensive frailties have often undermined their efforts.

Spurs' away form has been a mixed bag, with three wins, one draw, and six losses on their travels. However, their ability to find the back of the net consistently gives them a fighting chance in every match. Postecoglou will be keen to see his side tighten up at the back while maintaining their attacking threat as they look to climb into the top half of the table.

Last Direct Encounter

The most recent meeting between these two sides resulted in a convincing 4-0 home victory for Tottenham Hotspur. This result will undoubtedly boost Spurs' confidence heading into this fixture, while Everton will be eager to avenge that heavy defeat.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Looking at the last five encounters between Everton and Tottenham across all competitions, the North London side has a clear advantage. Spurs have won three of these matches, with two ending in draws. Everton have failed to secure a victory in this period, which will be a concern for David Moyes and his team.

Recent Form

Examining the last five matches for both teams across all competitions reveals contrasting fortunes. Everton have managed just one win and one draw, suffering three defeats. Tottenham, on the other hand, have fared slightly better with two wins, one draw, and two losses.

Latest Results

Everton's most recent result was a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa, while Tottenham suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from these setbacks and secure a positive result in this upcoming fixture.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our match prediction favors a Tottenham Hotspur victory. This assessment is based on several factors, including Spurs' superior goal-scoring record, their recent head-to-head dominance over Everton, and the Toffees' struggles at home this season. While Everton will be desperate for points in their fight against relegation, Tottenham's attacking prowess under Postecoglou's guidance gives them the edge in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League encounter.

On Sunday Tottenham make the trip to Merseyside with a desperate need for all three points. Ange Postecoglou’s team have now gone five league matches without picking up a win and that solitary victory - a 5-0 win over Southampton - happens to be their own three points won since late November. Since then, Spurs have dropped from sixth in the Premier League table to where they now sit in fourteenth position, just seven points above Sunday’s hosts that have spent much of the season fighting off the threat of relegation. In no uncertain terms, Postecoglou’s side have had a disastrous league campaign to date and will need to make some drastic changes soon.

How bad have Tottenham been this season?

While Tottenham fans will need no reminders of their horrid run of form to date, it’s worth noting just how precarious a situation the North London club are in at this moment in time. With just 24 points from 21 league games in the Premier League, Postecoglou’s side are in the midst of what will likely be the club’s worst league campaign in recent memory. As we can see in the table above, which shows where Tottenham were at this stage in the season over the course of the last 15 years, this downtick in form in the English top-flight is somewhat unprecedented. In fact, the last Tottenham manager to have picked up so few points after 21 league games was Harry Redknapp during the club’s 2008/09 campaign when his side had just 20 points to their name. However, back then Redknapp was able to somewhat turn things around ang guided the club to a somewhat respectable eighth-placed finish after losing just four of their remaining 17 league games and picking up an impressive 31 points. And if Postecoglou’s side have any hopes of getting back towards the top six, they may need to attempt a similar and somewhat miraculous end to the season.

What’s gone so wrong for Tottenham this season?

Perhaps the most obvious reason why Tottenham have simply fallen apart this season is due to the high volume of injuries that Postecoglou and his backroom staff have had to contend with. Since the start of the league campaign, no less than 14 of Tottenham’s senior players have picked up an injury and that has resulted in them missing a combined 97 league games this season. Some of these players, such as Fraser Forster or Wilson Odobert were only back-up players for the starting XI, but Spurs have also lost a number of key players too. Star forwards Richarlison and Heung-min Son have missed 15 and three league games respectively, while central defensive pairing Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have missed a combined 21 league games through injuries this season.
