The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur could look to appoint a new manager at the end of the season, and Andoni Iraola has been suggested as the ideal choice.

It has been a disappointing season for them and they are 16th in the league table. Postecoglou was backed significantly during the summer transfer window, and he was expected to guide them to Champions League qualification. Tottenham were expected to fight for domestic trophies as well.

Things have clearly not gone according to plan, and the Australian could be shown the door in the summer. Spurs have been linked with multiple names in recent weeks, and former defender Alan Hutton believes that Andoni Iraola could be the ideal appointment for the north London club.

Andoni Iraola has proven himself in England

The Spaniard has done quite well for Bournemouth, and there is no doubt that he has the qualities to manage a bigger club. Hutton believes that Tottenham need a manager with a more balanced approach. Iraola plays an attacking system with aggressive pressing, but his team is quite strong defensively. On the other hand, Postecoglou has been overly aggressive with his system, and it has cost Tottenham defensively.

Hutton said to Football Insider: “I like Iraola, I think what he’s done at Bournemouth has been exceptional, how he sees the game, how he wants to play, openly expansive at times but defensively very strong. They look to win the ball back quickly, be aggressive with their pressing.

“I think all those things suit a Tottenham team, and look, that’s the way Ange wants to play as well. It just happens that from time-to-time that they’re open.

“They play with a high line that goes two for two at the back, and you’re reliant on Van de Ven’s pace or Romero or whatever it may be, but when you’re playing at this top level, you get punished when you make mistakes.”

The opportunity to manage a club like Tottenham will be quite exciting for Iraola, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. They need to bring in a quality manager in the summer if they want to bounce back next year. Tottenham have a quality squad at their disposal, and the right manager might be able to bring out the best in them.

Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Tyler Dibling from Southampton at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has done quite well for the Saints despite their disappointing performances as a team. The young attacker has attracted the attention of top clubs, and he is expected to leave in the summer.

Dibling has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he will not want to compete in the Championship next season. He will want to stay in the top flight, and a report from TEAMtalk claims that Tottenham are prepared to provide him with the exit route.

The North London outfit are expected to open formal talks soon, and they are optimistic about signing the player. The attacker is reportedly valued at £100 million, but Tottenham believe they can sign him for around half of that fee. They are hoping to get the deal done for a fee of around £45 million plus bonuses.

It is no secret that they need attacking reinforcements, and the 19-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add pace, flair and unpredictability to the side.

Tyler Dibling could fancy Spurs move

The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him as well. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to fight for trophies with them. Tottenham have done well to bring in talented young players in recent windows, and they will hope to fulfil his tremendous potential.

The player has been linked with other English clubs as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.

The 19-year-old attacker has four goals and three assists to his name in all competitions this season, and his numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players. Joining a bigger club could help him develop further.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

According to former Tottenham scout Mick Brown, the player’s agent is pushing for a move to Real Madrid in the summer. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit decides to make a move for him. They need more quality in the defensive unit, and the Dutch International could be a useful acquisition.

He has been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club, and his departure would be a massive blow for the north London outfit. Former Tottenham manager, Harry Redknapp, has described him as a “Rolls-Royce” player in the past.

Brown has revealed to Football Insider that Real Madrid have sent scouts to watch Tottenham games this season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Cristian Romero has been linked with the move to Real Madrid as well.

Tottenham simply cannot afford to lose two of their best defenders in the summer. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Netherlands international to stay at the club.

Brown revealed: “His agent is really pushing for a move to Real Madrid.

“Real Madrid want a centre-back and they’ve been looking at options. A lot of those options are in the Premier League, and we spoke before about Romero.

“They’ve had scouts at Tottenham games having a look, so I don’t doubt Van de Ven is on their radar.

“If they come calling, he will want to go, because it’s always difficult for players to turn down a move to Real Madrid, especially after a difficult season like he’s had.”

Tottenham cannot afford to lose Micky van de Ven

Tottenham are currently 15th in the league table. It has been a disastrous season for them, and they will be desperate to make amends next year. They need to hold onto their best players and improve the squad further in order to do that.

The 23-year-old defender has the qualities to compete at the highest level, and there is no doubt that he is good enough for Real Madrid. If they manage to get the deal done, it would be an exceptional addition for them.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Athletic Club Bilbao midfielder Oihan Sancet during the summer transfer window.

Liverpool and Aston Villa are also interested in signing the player. According to a report from Fichajes, his contract has an €80 million release clause, and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League clubs are willing to pay up.

Sancet has done quite well for the outfit this season, with 16 goals and three assists.

The 24-year-old is still relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a quality player for Tottenham if they can get the deal done.

Tottenham need more goals and creativity from the middle of the park, and the 24-year-old could compete with James Maddison for the starting spot. Maddison has been inconsistent this season. Competition for places will help both players improve.

It has been a mediocre season for Tottenham, and they need to improve their squad if they want to bounce back strongly. Signing a quality midfielder should be one of their priorities.

Liverpool want Oihan Sancet as well

Similarly, Liverpool need to add more quality in the middle of the park. They need someone who can score goals consistently. Players like Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are not prolific goal-scorers, and Sancet would add a new dimension to their midfield.

Meanwhile, the opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for the La Liga midfielder. It will be an exciting challenge at this stage of his career, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running.

Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. However, the reported asking price is quite steep, and the Spanish outfit will have to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.

Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old has done quite well for the Cherries this season and he is on the radar of Chelsea as well. According to a report from AreaNapoli, the player will cost around €40-50 million during the summer transfer window and Spurs would have no problems putting ‘significant sums on the table’ for him.

They are hoping to be Chelsea to his signature. It is evident that Tottenham need a quality wide player like him who can slot in anywhere across the front three. Semenyo will add goals and creativity to the side. His ability to take on defenders and beat them in one versus one situations will add some much needed unpredictability to the Tottenham attack as well.

It will be interesting to see if they can beat Chelsea and secure his signature. Semenyo is well settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact at the North London club. The opportunity to join a big club will be quite exciting for the players as well. It would be a major step up in his career.

Even though Tottenham have struggled this season, they have a talented squad and an ambitious project. They could help the 25-year-old fight for trophies in the coming season.

The player is entering the peak years of his career and he could easily justify the €40-50 million valuation in the near future. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

The 25-year-old has nine goals and five assists to his name in all competitions. Although he is naturally a right-sided winger, he is capable of operating on both flanks as well as a centre forward. His versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham, if they can get the deal done.

Meanwhile, Chelsea need more quality in the wide areas as well, and they need to find an upgrade on Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian has been quite underwhelming with his performances and he is now facing a potential ban because of doping. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done for the Ghanaian in summer.

Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing Dusan Vlahović from Juventus during the summer window.

The 25-year-old Serbian International has been linked with a move to the Premier League for months. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done. He was linked with Tottenham in January as well.

According to Give Me Sport, the striker is valued at £35 million. But the report adds that he could be signed for less than that. Spurs will be hoping to snap him up on a bargain. They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the Serbian could share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke.

Spurs tried to sign the player in 2022, but they failed to get the deal done. The striker ended up joining Italian club Juventus, but he has been on the Tottenham radar ever since. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can conclude a move for him this time around.

Vlahovic will add goals and physicality to the Tottenham attacking unit. Apart from his ability to find the back of the net, he will help bring others into the game by holding up the ball. He could be the ideal target man for Tottenham.

The striker has 16 goal contributions this season and his numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside better players. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football and he could be a key player for Tottenham in the coming season.

The 25-year-old is entering the peak years of his career, and there is no doubt that he would want to compete at a high level. A move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for him, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could easily justify the £35 million asking price in the coming seasons.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace at the end of the season.

According to former Tottenham scout Mick Brown, the North London club are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old defensive midfielder, and they could look to move for him in the summer. They will face competition from defending champions Manchester City as well.

“I hear Man City and Tottenham have been keeping a close eye on him,” he told Football Insider.

“Guehi looks like he will be leaving in the summer, and they don’t want to lose too many players from that spine because then it starts to become a problem when you’ve got to replace them.

“So as far as Wharton’s move goes, I think it would take a huge fee for Palace to accept it.”

The 21-year-old midfielder has established himself as a key player for Crystal Palace and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country. He could be the ideal replacement for Yves Bissouma who has been underwhelming this season.

Tottenham need more quality and depth in the middle of the park and 21-year-old would be the ideal long-term investment for them. However, Brown has warned that the player would incur a huge fee in the summer.

Tottenham need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to spend a substantial amount of money in order to sign the English midfielder. Manchester City have more financial resources than them, and it remains to be seen whether they can win the race for Wharton.

Whoever ends up signing Wharton will have a future star on their hands. The 21-year-old is already well settled in the Premier League, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

Tottenham Hotspur are facing a significant decision regarding Richarlison’s future, with the Brazilian forward increasingly expected to leave this summer.

Despite being under contract until 2027, Richarlison’s time in North London has been under constant speculation, and his role in the squad appears uncertain.

Reports indicate that Spurs may have to accept a considerable financial loss if they decide to move him on.

Bryan King accuses Richarlison’s agent

Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has suggested that the club will struggle to recoup anything close to the £60 million they paid Everton for Richarlison in 2022.

He believes that Spurs may only be able to fetch between £5-10 million for the forward, as few clubs would be willing to meet a higher valuation.

Speaking to Tottenham News, King said:

“I’d be quite pleased to see him moved on and new players brought in.

“I think any money that they could get for Richarlison would be welcomed. They brought him for a lot of money, they’re going to lose money on him, that is for sure.

“I can’t see Tottenham getting much more than a figure of £5/10million. Who is going to pay big money for him? They should’ve cut their losses before, for me it has been poor business. For all those clubs who were supposedly interested in the summer, nobody stepped in and brought him.

“Therefore, I think that was his agent at work.”

Since arriving at Tottenham, Richarlison’s stint has been hampered by inconsistency and recurring injuries. His first season saw him struggle to make an impact, scoring just once in the Premier League while missing large spells due to fitness concerns.

The 2023-24 campaign initially looked promising, particularly after the departure of Harry Kane, which seemingly opened up an opportunity for him to step up.

However, his struggles continued, as he endured a prolonged goal drought early in the season.

Following this difficult period, Richarlison spoke openly about his personal challenges before briefly rediscovering form, netting nine goals in eight league matches between December 2023 and February 2024.

Unfortunately, his resurgence was short-lived, as injury troubles resurfaced. He has missed 34 matches across all competitions this season, managing only 14 appearances while contributing three goals and one assist.

With Tottenham reinforcing their attacking options by bringing in Mathys Tel on loan—with an option to buy—and signing Dominic Solanke last summer, Richarlison’s place in the squad appears increasingly redundant.

If Spurs ultimately decide to offload him, they are likely to suffer a heavy financial setback, marking a disappointing conclusion to what was once seen as a promising transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters may one day witness the return of Dele Alli to North London, though possibly in a different role than before.

The former Spurs midfielder has experienced a sharp decline in his career over the past few years, but he recently made a significant step toward a comeback after being included in a matchday squad for Como in Serie A.

This marked his first appearance on a team sheet in over two years, with his last competitive outing dating back to February 2023 during his loan spell at Beşiktaş.

Since joining Como under the guidance of manager Cesc Fabregas, Alli has been steadily working his way back into the squad. Although he remained an unused substitute in a recent 2-1 loss to AS Roma, his selection for the squad is an encouraging sign.

Former Leicester City manager Martin Allen has suggested that while a return to Tottenham as a player is unlikely, Alli could still have a future at the club in a different capacity.

Allen believes that given his wealth of experience, both as a top-level footballer and someone who has faced significant personal and professional setbacks, Alli could be an invaluable mentor for young players.

He speculated that the former England international could take up a coaching or advisory role within Spurs’ academy, helping to guide rising talents on and off the pitch.

Speaking to Tottenham News, Allen remarked:

“Maybe that [a return to Tottenham] could be possible.

“Every football supporter will be wishing him well at Como. He’s had a big dip, which can happen. The fact that he’s bouncing back and getting back into the game, let’s hope he can do it.

“Maybe one day he can get back up to the level we know.

“A role at Tottenham maybe. I’m not sure if he’s a coach or a possible manager, an academy coach to give knowledge to young people.

“He may look at educating young players around depression and avoiding certain situations.“

Alli was once one of the brightest young talents in English football. After joining Spurs in 2015, he quickly became a key figure in the squad, winning consecutive PFA Young Player of the Year awards in 2016 and 2017. During his time with Tottenham, he made staggering 269 appearances, while impressively scoring 67 goals and providing 55 assists. (Transfermarkt)

Whether Alli returns to Spurs remains uncertain, but if he does, it would be a heartwarming reunion with the club where he made his name.

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a major blow ahead of their decisive Europa League second leg against AZ Alkmaar, with Rodrigo Bentancur ruled out due to suspension.

The Uruguayan midfielder picked up a booking in the first leg, automatically ruling him out of the return fixture.

With Spurs trailing 1-0, manager Ange Postecoglou must reshuffle his midfield to compensate for Bentancur’s absence.

Bentancur’s absence gives Bissouma a chance to step up

One player who now has a golden opportunity to step up is Yves Bissouma.

The Malian international has endured an inconsistent season but could play a crucial role in Tottenham’s hopes of overturning the deficit.

Bissouma, under contract until 2026, has struggled for form and consistency, often finding himself substituted early or rotated out of the starting XI.

Reports suggest that Spurs may consider selling him in the summer to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer later.

Since arriving from Brighton in 2022 for £30 million, Bissouma has shown flashes of his ability to control the midfield, notably starting the 2023–24 season with Man of the Match performances against Brentford and Manchester United.

However, his overall impact has waned, with just two league goals in 33 appearances this campaign.

With Tottenham currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League and already out of domestic cup competitions, winning the Europa League is their only shot at silverware this season.

Lifting the trophy would not only end the club’s 17-year title drought but also secure Champions League football for next season.

For Bissouma, this high-stakes clash is more than just an opportunity to help Spurs advance—it could also determine his future at the club.

A commanding performance against AZ Alkmaar might just convince Postecoglou and the Tottenham hierarchy that he still has a key role to play in their long-term plans.
