Spurs Web

It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur have not given up on Joao Gomes despite the midfielder penning a new contract at Wolves, but the Lilywhites have their work cut out to agree on a deal for the Brazilian.

Gomes has emerged as one of the most consistent midfielders in the Premier League since swapping Brazilian football for Wolves back in 2023.

The 24-year-old’s consistent performances in the Midlands this season have unsurprisingly brought him to the attention of a lot of big hitters, including Tottenham Hotspur.

It was reported last month that Tottenham are plotting a move for Gomes but the Lilywhites received some bad news regarding the player recently.

Wolves confirmed last week that Gomes had signed a new five-year contract at the club, which seemed to put an end to Spurs’ pursuit of the player, but a new report suggests otherwise.

Tottenham still interested in Joao Gomes but there is one problem

TBR Football have now claimed that the midfielder’s contract extension has not put off Tottenham, who still remain ‘keen’ on landing the player.

However, Spurs are not Gomes’ only admirers, with Aston Villa and Liverpool also determined to secure the Brazil international’s services.

The outlet says that all three clubs face a ‘tough battle’ to prise the player away from Molineux Stadium this summer.

Wolves now hold all the power after the midfielder’s contract extension and it would take a ‘substantial’ offer to convince Vítor Pereira’s men to cash in on their star man.

The Midlands club are of the opinion that Gomes is up there with the best midfielders in Europe and expect top dollar for their priced asset.

Spurs also eyeing a move for another Wolves star

Gomes is not the only Wolves man on Tottenham’s radar, with the North Londoners also allegedly plotting a move for the midfielder’s compatriot.

It has been widely reported that Matheus Cunha is on the top of Spurs’ wishlist this summer as they attempt to add more firepower to their frontline.

Tottenham made light work of a struggling Southampton side, but as ever with this Ange Postecoglou team, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Here are two positives and two negatives from the Tottenham vs Southampton game.

The whistle has gone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Spurs welcomed relegation-bound Southampton.

Ange Postecoglou’s side came out on top, picking up their 11th win of the league season after 31 matches played.

It was an inspired showing from Brennan Johnson, who led the charge in a 3-1 win over the Saints — a result that officially seals Southampton’s fate, confirming their drop after managing just two wins all campaign.

Let’s now get into two positives and two negatives from Spurs’ outing against Southampton.

Brennan Johnson stars as Tottenham see off Southampton

Brennan Johnson’s performance on Sunday afternoon will no doubt go down as a major positive for Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham.

The Welsh winger grabbed a brace before winning a penalty in the dying moments—though he generously let Mathys Tel step up and convert it for his first Premier League goal in a Spurs shirt.

That brace now takes Johnson’s tally to 50 goals in English football. More importantly, it gives Spurs one more attacker hitting form right when it matters most, especially ahead of their crucial European tie against Frankfurt.

Johnson, who’s now the club’s leading scorer in the league, has found his scoring boots again after a barren run.

Djed Spence maintains fine form in crucial end of season run-in

Right behind Johnson in the man-of-the-match stakes was Djed Spence, who once again looked sharp down the right.

A few weeks ago, Spence talked about wanting to win trophies with Tottenham, and today’s display backed up that ambition.

He was a constant outlet, and his assist for Johnson’s opener was the sort of moment that boosts confidence going into Thursday’s quarter-final first leg.

Defensive lapses cost Tottenham Hotspur another clean sheet

There’s been a lot of chat around whether Spurs‘ playing style leaves them vulnerable, especially when they’re ahead—and that talk won’t be going away anytime soon.

Against Southampton, Tottenham looked to switch things up slightly. They played with a bit more caution, trying to control the tempo and limit the Saints’ chances by holding onto the ball.

But it didn’t really work. Southampton still managed to snatch a late goal, and had there been more time left on the clock, things might’ve turned very nervy.

That late lapse is something Postecoglou and his staff will want to sort quickly, particularly with Frankfurt coming up next. You can’t afford those kinds of moments in knockout football.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke still searching for goals

It was another frustrating afternoon for Dominic Solanke, who just couldn’t get himself going in front of goal.

Postecoglou would’ve been hoping the striker could get one today and finally break his drought—he’s now gone nine games without a goal.

In truth, Solanke looked off the pace in that first half. Spurs didn’t create much for him, and when he did get a sniff, it was from outside the box, which made it that much harder to make an impact.

It’s a concern now. Tottenham will need all their attackers firing if they want to progress in Europe and finish the season strong domestically, and Solanke’s current form isn’t cutting it.

Tottenham Hotspur put an end to their two-match goal drought, relegating Southampton 3-1, thanks to a first-half brace from Brennan Johnson and a late penalty goal by Mathys Tel.

Well, despite the Premier League no longer being of much interest to Spurs fans this season, this game was all about building momentum and restoring a bit of confidence ahead of the Europa League quarter-final clash against Eintracht Frankfurt later this week.

Facing a Southampton side who had been flirting with relegation for what felt like an eternity, Spurs were expected to dominate. And for the first half, that’s exactly what happened. It was calm, controlled, and clinical. The second half? Not quite the same, but the Lilywhites got the job done.

Ange Postecoglou surprisingly made only three changes to the side that started against Chelsea, with Ben Davies, Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson coming in for Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie and WOdobert. The main talking point, however, was Mathys Tel being benched again – only Ange knows why. Spurs fans, however, weren’t too pleased.

First half: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Southampton

From the first whistle, Spurs were on the front foot and pinned Southampton deep inside their own half. For the opening ten minutes, the visitors barely touched the ball, let alone crossed halfway.

Cristian Romero nearly broke the deadlock with a thunderous header from a corner. But Aaron Ramsdale managed to keep it out.

Lucas Bergvall also came very close, but the ball got stuck under his feet and the shot lacked the power to trouble Ramsdale.

Eventually, the breakthrough came in the 13th minute. Djed Spence bombed forward, overlapping Son Heung-min before cutting the ball back perfectly for Brennan Johnson, who coolly finished the move. A well-worked goal and a deserved lead.

Romero nearly got his goal again shortly after from a free-kick delivery. However, Ramsdale was once again, alert to the danger.

Just past the half-hour mark, Spurs thought they had doubled their lead. Porro whipped in a superb free-kick, Romero headed it back across goal and Bergvall tapped it in. But after a painfully long VAR check, the goal was ruled out after Romero was deemed offside.

But there was no denying Johnson his brace. With three minutes left in the half, a slick move saw a looping cross brought down by Maddison, and the Welshman was on hand to delicately put it past Ramsdale with the outside of his boot. 2-0.

Spence, then once again, went on a surging run down the left, but instead of squaring for Son, he went for glory. Ramsdale made the save, but it could’ve easily been three.

At the break, it felt inevitable. Southampton had managed just one shot on target, 0.62 xG to Spurs’ 1.22, and had been pressed into submission. A third relegation for the Saints loomed large.

Second half: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Southampton

Credit where it’s due. Southampton came out fighting after the interval, perhaps spurred on by the realisation they were 45 minutes away from the drop.

The Saints pressed higher, passed quicker, and began to win duels in midfield. Sulemana, in particular, troubled both Johnson and Porro down the right flank. Fortunately, Romero and Bentancur intercepted his cutbacks on time.

Maddison played a beautiful long ball to release Son down the left, but the South Korean’s effort lacked conviction and was blocked by Jan Bednarek.

Southampton’s best chances fell to Solanke, who had a night to forget. Time and again he chose the wrong option – shooting from impossible angles instead of squaring it and when he did shoot, his efforts were either blocked, saved, or way off target. He still managed to give the Southampton’s defence a busy time.

Just as the Saints’ intensity dipped, they suddenly struck. In the 90th minute, Sulemana clipped the ball ball to the back post where Mateus Fernandes chested it down and smashed it through Vicario’s legs. 2-1 and Spurs had invited pressure they didn’t need.

The pressure was now on Spurs suddenly. Brennan Johnson was in again and looked certain to complete his hat-trick until he was brought down inside the box. Penalty to Spurs.

Johnson wanted it. He earned it. He asked for it, quite clearly signalling ‘three’ with his fingers. But Mathys Tel took the ball and wouldn’t give it back. The fan in me was fuming – Johnson deserved that moment.

Still, Tel stepped up, stuttered, and restored the two-goal cushion. A goal’s a goal, and perhaps the confidence boost for Tel will serve Spurs well in Europe.

What’s next for Spurs?

So there we have it — three goals, three points, and Southampton officially relegated. The 3-1 win lifts Spurs up to 14th, with a chance to climb to 13th if Manchester United fall short against Manchester City.

This wasn’t a win to shout about from the rooftops though. Beating the worst side in the league doesn’t signal a revolution, but it was a much-needed result after back-to-back blanks.

More importantly, there were no fresh injury concerns. All eyes now turn to the Europa League quarterfinals against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

COYS.

Tottenham Hotspur finally got back to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend with a 3-1 win over Southampton – a result that relegated the Saints back down to the Championship.

Let’s take a look at the five things we learned from Tottenham 3-1 Southampton.

Three points but a missed opportunity for Tottenham

It was extremely important for Tottenham Hotspur to get three points on the board on Sunday, not only to climb out of 16th in the Premier League table, but also to go into the Europa League quarter-final with some momentum. After Spurs went 2-0 up at half-time, it felt like there was a real opportunity to grab four or five, heading into the Eintracht Frankfurt clash on a high. However, what followed the half-time break was nothing short of dismal and dull for Tottenham.

Ange Postecoglou opted to make no substitutions, and the players on the pitch opted to sit deep, jog around, and refuse to run for each other on the attack. Yes, they were likely just managing the game and saving energy for Thursday night, but Southampton were there for the taking. It has happened far too often this season that Spurs take their eye off the ball and let lesser teams back into the game. Whatever the situation, that is a bad habit to get into.

Brennan Johnson creates an interesting right-wing debate

For the most part, Tottenham know their strongest possible XI – even if the standard has been low this season. However, with Dejan Kulusevski out injured, the debate between Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert is an interesting one.

The Welshman does far less on the ball and often ghosts in and out of important games, but he is a numbers man. You might not see him for 90 minutes, but he consistently makes those expertly-timed runs into the box for tap-ins created by the left side. What he lacks in creativity and direct attacking with the ball at his feet, he makes up for with goal-scoring timing.

Odobert, on the other hand, is far more willing to take a defender on one-vs-one. The young Frenchman is fearless with the ball at his feet, but is still a very raw talent – far from the finished article. While he is capable of delivering superb performances, he is also prone to inconsistency at times. It is going to be very interesting to see what Postecoglou opts for against Frankfurt on Thursday.

Mathys Tel is struggling to earn his Tottenham chances

He may have come off the bench to score from the spot today, but Mathys Tel is struggling for chances in North London. You would think that a fixture at home to the worst side in the Premier League just days before the biggest game of the season would be a prime opportunity to rotate and hand Tel a start. However, Postecoglou stuck with Heung-min Son on the left and Dominic Solanke down the middle.

Once again, Tel was only handed a short cameo at the end of the game, coming on in the 87th minute. The only reason he got the penalty in the first place was because Son, Solanke, and Maddison were all off the pitch already. Let us remind you that Spurs paid £8.7m to take Tel on loan and have an option to buy for another £50m. There is no guarantee that Postecoglou will even still be in the job come the summer, so Mathys’ situation really is up in the air.

How can he prove that he’s worth the price tag without a decent chunk of minutes on the pitch?

Micky Van de Ven rested for the big night

One player Postecoglou did decide to rotate out was Micky Van de Ven, who was an unused substitute for Tottenham vs Southampton. With the Dutchman prone to hamstring injuries, and two pivotal fixtures against Eintracht Frankfurt to come, Spurs are clearly keeping him fit for Europe above all else.

I am just surprised that the likes of Djed Spence, Heung-min Son, and Dominic Solanke weren’t given the same treatment today. I would expect to see a heavily-rotated XI against Wolves between the two Europa League fixtures. In fact, fans will be annoyed if Postecoglou doesn’t do that.

Tottenham fan protests are going nowhere

Despite a 3-1 win in the North London sun, Tottenham fans have shown that the protests against Daniel Levy and ENIC show no signs of stopping. Once again, thousands of Spurs fans marched together to protest against the owners before kick-off this afternoon.

The message is clear, supporters want Levy out and new owners in. Even after the second goal went in for Tottenham, fans were quick to use the opportunity to chant ‘we want Levy out’ above all else. Say what you want about Levy, he will not be able to run or hide from the protests this time. They are not going to fizzle out and something has to change.

Thousands of Spurs fans marched outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of their Premier League clash against Southampton, once again directing fury towards Daniel Levy and ENIC in a passionate protest demanding change.

A Tottenham fan protest against the club’s ownership is nothing new, and this season has seen that resistance grow louder.

The fanbase had already staged two separate protests prior to the Southampton game on Sunday afternoon, with one of the protests coming before their second league meeting with Manchester United – a coordinated mix of a sit-in and a walk-in protest.

Earlier in the campaign, Spurs fans also gathered for a protest ahead of the Liverpool fixture, which ended in a humiliating 6-3 defeat.

With tensions running high off the pitch, it’s clear the disconnect between supporters and ownership remains a persistent theme.

Tottenham fans protest against Daniel Levy and ENIC before Southampton win

Ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Southampton – a side battling for survival at the bottom of the table – Tottenham Hotspur supporters once again turned out in huge numbers to voice their anger at chairman Daniel Levy and the ENIC regime.

The message couldn’t have been more direct: fans held banners and chanted for the 63-year-old to “get out of our club”.

Levy’s time at the helm has been defined more by managerial turnover than silverware, with Spurs still without a trophy since winning the League Cup back in 2008.

It was a protest rooted in long-standing frustrations, not just results on the pitch. For many fans, Levy represents a leadership model that has prioritised profit margins over on-field ambition.

Tottenham fans also carried the protest into the stadium with chants of ‘we want Levy out’ ringing around the ground after the second goal went in. Win or lose, the Lilywhite faithful want to see the back of their chairman.

Spurs fans’ protest shows frustrations go deeper than results

Even though Spurs still have a chance of ending their trophy drought this season – with a Europa League quarter-final against Frankfurt coming up – these protests aren’t likely to stop, no matter how the campaign ends.

Plenty of fans are fed up with what they see as Levy’s continued lack of ambition. The Spurs chairman’s comments after the club’s recent financial report, where he insisted Tottenham wouldn’t “put themselves at financial risk” this summer, only added fuel to the fire.

Supporters are growing tired of hearing the same rhetoric, especially when the club’s wage bill continues to drop – a glaring contrast when compared to the rest of the so-called ‘big six’.

For many, it’s another reminder that Spurs are operating like a business first, and a football club second.

One thing is for certain, this is unlikely to be the last Tottenham protest of 2025.

The half-time whistle has sounded at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, signalling the end of the opening forty-five minutes in tonight’s bottom-half of the table clash between Tottenham and Southampton with the home side leading 2-0 and it’s now time for our first-half player ratings.

Everything appears to be unravelling for Ange Postecoglou, who now finds himself under pressure to retain his position in the Tottenham Hotspur dugout as he navigates a difficult second season in charge.

While many would argue that the Europa League has become the primary focus for Spurs, given their dismal domestic form which sees them languishing in 14th place, a victory against the Saints remains essential.

The Lilywhites must build some momentum ahead of their crucial first-leg encounter against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League later this week.

Throughout the first half, we analysed each player’s individual performance, rating them on a scale of 1-10. Let’s take a look at our Tottenham player ratings…

Tottenham’s first-half player ratings vs Southampton

Guglielmo Vicario – A relatively quiet half for the Italian goalkeeper, who had little to contend with but produced a sharp save in the early moments to keep the Saints at bay. 7.

Djed Spence – A lively and effective performance from Spence, who was shifted to the right flank after a subdued spell at left-back against Chelsea. Provided the assist for the opening goal with a clever cut-back following an overlapping run. 8.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Cristian Romero – Much improved from the last outing in West London, Romero has been composed in possession and instrumental in Spurs’ build-up play. It was his incisive pass to Maddison that set the first goal in motion. Also a threat from set pieces, drawing two strong saves from Ramsdale, and played a key role in the disallowed second goal with a well-timed knockdown. 7.

Ben Davies – With Spurs rarely troubled defensively, Davies has had a quiet half — which, in truth, is no bad thing. Did what was required without fuss. 6

Pedro Porro – Not his most attacking display, as he refrained from making his usual surging runs down the left, but made a crucial early block to prevent Southampton from taking the lead. 7.5

Lucas Bergvall – A typically tidy and intelligent performance from the young Swede, who continues to impress with his composure and awareness in midfield. Thought he had scored his first Premier League goal with an instinctive finish, only for it to be ruled out. 8.

Rodrigo Bentancur – A quiet display from the Uruguayan, who hasn’t been overly involved but has contributed to Spurs’ midfield control and rhythm. 7.

James Maddison – Looked to find space and unlock the Saints’ defence. Played a key pass to Son in the build-up to the goal, and he also got the assist for the second goal. However, there’s a sense he still has another gear to find. 8.

Brennan Johnson – A clinical finish from Johnson, who latched onto Spence’s cut-back to score the first of two goals in the first half, before adding to his tally after managing to stay onside from Maddison’s searching header into the box. His brace marks his 50th goal in English football. A typically sharp and instinctive display in the final third. 9.

Dominic Solanke – Still searching for a goal to end his eight-match drought, but has found chances hard to come by in this one. Needs better service and movement around him. 5

Tottenham legend Clive Allen is a big fan of one of Spurs’ top summer targets, admitting that he has been very impressed with how the player has developed over the course of this season.

If you have been following Spurs Web’s coverage, you would be aware that the speculation linking Tyler Dibling with a move to Spurs has intensified substantially over the last few weeks.

It has been reported over recent weeks that Tyler Dibling has been identified as Tottenham’s top summer target, with the North London club said to be determined to bring him through the door.

Last week, one source even claimed that Daniel Levy has made it his personal mission to win the race for Dibling, who is attracting plenty of interest from around the Premier League.

Clive Allen is convinced Tyler Dibling is on his way to the top

Tottenham fans will get to see Dibling in action against their side this afternoon, and Clive Allen believes the winger will be a huge threat for the Spurs defence, given his ability to carry the ball.

The 63-year-old is convinced that the England Under-21 international has a bright future in the game irrespective of whether or not he leaves St Mary’s this summer.

Allen told SPURSPLAY about the Tottenham Hotspur target: “Yeah, I think he’s been their best player this season. I think he’s grown in stature and confidence.

“I think he’s a great carrier of the ball, we’ve seen his successful dribbles (40) this season and he’s going to be a threat (versus Tottenham). He’s looking to impress people whether he stays at Southampton or moves on in the summer.”

Southampton set to demand a huge fee for Tyler Dibling

While the media speculation continues to talk up the chances of the winger exiting the South Coast this summer, the Saints are not expected to make a deal for their academy graduate easy to complete.

Last week, it was reported by a reputed source that Southampton had put a £100m price tag on Dibling, with the club aware that a number of sides are looking to pounce on the winger.

It was explained that the Saints are determined to maintain their hardline stance ahead of the summer, which has left Tottenham and Tyler Dibling’s other suitors extremely frustrated.

David Bentley has now revealed who he believes was Tottenham’s most underrated player during his time at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur have seen some truly gifted footballers pull on the shirt in recent years, though not all of them received the plaudits they perhaps deserved.

A few weeks ago, Vincent Janssen made an interesting claim about his time at Spurs. Despite playing alongside Harry Kane, the Dutchman insisted that the most talented player he shared a pitch with wasn’t the England captain.

Instead, he singled out Mousa Dembele, a man whose brilliance has been acknowledged by several of his former teammates since his departure from north London.

Dembele’s name frequently comes up when discussing Spurs’ most underrated stars, with Morgan Gibbs-White raving about Dembele a few days ago, after his name was mentioned in an interview about the Premier League players the streets won’t forget. However, Bentley has now thrown another name into the mix.

David Bentley hails Wilson Palacios as Spurs’ unsung hero

Speaking on the Off The Shelf Podcast, David Bentley was asked to name an unsung hero from his time at Spurs, and without hesitation, he pointed to Wilson Palacios.

Bentley played alongside some immensely talented footballers at Tottenham, yet it was the Honduran midfielder who stood out to him as someone who never quite got the credit he deserved.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The former Tottenham winger described Palacios as not only a quality player in midfield but also a huge presence in the dressing room, someone who commanded the respect of everyone at the club.

“A player you played with who you think was an unsung hero?” Bentley was asked.

“What, across the board or just at Tottenham? Just at Spurs. Wilson Palacios,” Bentley responded.

“He was an unsung hero.”

“Great shout,” the host replied.

“Because what a player he was in midfield.

“He was fully respected in the dressing room, but obviously everyone else got all the plaudits. He was a good guy as well.”

Tottenham’s midfield needs a player like Palacios or Dembele

Spurs could certainly do with a few players in the mould of Palacios and Dembele in their midfield right now.

While a lot of Tottenham’s struggles this season have been blamed on an early injury crisis, there’s no denying that their midfield has been a problem area.

So far this campaign, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur have struggled to hit their best form, and for those of us who were fortunate enough to watch Dembele dominate the middle of the park, the drop-off has been glaring.

Johnny Cardoso has just made an admission about his plans for the future, which potentially comes as a blow for Tottenham amidst their option to land him this summer.

Over the past few weeks, some sources have treated it as a foregone conclusion that Johnny Cardoso is on his way to Tottenham, which is understandable, given that the North London club have a £21m option to buy the midfielder this summer.

The Betis man has been in extremely impressive form over the last few months and the Tottenham hierarchy have reportedly been extremely impressed with Cardoso’s progress.

The USA international has emerged as one of the best midfielders in La Liga and one would assume that the Lilywhites may not be able to turn down a chance to sign a top-class operator for such a modest fee, particularly given their issues in the middle of the park.

Cardoso makes an admission about his future

However, even if Tottenham Hotspur were to activate the clause, the Premier League side may still need Johnny Cardoso to greenlight the move, which is why the midfielder’s latest admission could be a matter of concern.

The 23-year-old has now insisted that he wants to remain at Betis for many years, admitting that he is very keen to get the club into the Champions League.

When asked about his future, Cardoso told El Chiringuito (as relayed by Estadio Deportivo): “I’m very happy here and I hope I can continue enjoying myself at Betis for many years to come. The Champions League? It’s our dream and our goal.”

Why Tottenham will not worry about Johnny Cardoso deal

While the midfielder’s latest words may raise a few concerns at Spurs, the Lilywhites will likely not be losing too much sleep over these comments.

This is because various Spanish outlets have reported over recent weeks that Real Betis are banking on Tottenham taking up the option to sign Cardoso.

The La Liga club are not said to be in a great position financially and are thus relying on the sale of the American to boost their coffers.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have made it clear who they want the club to sign this summer, with two players emerging as the standout names in recent search engine results.

Tottenham Hotspur fans will be desperate for a vast improvement next season after what has been a woeful campaign, leaving the club languishing in 14th place in the Premier League.

Regardless of whether Ange Postecoglou remains in charge, this season has laid bare the weaknesses within the squad.

The lack of squad depth, particularly in defence, has been glaring, while the midfield has struggled for consistency, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur’s form fluctuating throughout the campaign.

With the summer transfer window approaching, there is growing pressure on the club to rectify these issues, and recent data has revealed the preferences of Tottenham fans.

Tottenham Hotspur fans want Kingsley Coman and Johnny Cardoso

According to Big Fat Links, they have analysed fan search trends across the Premier League over the past month, identifying the players supporters most want their clubs to sign this summer.

For Tottenham fans, the most searched name—aside from former manager Mauricio Pochettino—is Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The French winger has long been regarded as one of Europe’s top attacking talents, and it seems Spurs fans are eager to see him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with 12,700 Tottenham supporters making searches about him.

Meanwhile, Johnny Cardoso has emerged as the fastest-growing trend, registering 10,100 searches over the same period.

The USA International has been catching the eye, and with Tottenham already holding a £21 million buy clause for Johnny Cardoso, it’s easy to see why fans are keeping tabs on him.

Spurs’ attacking and midfield concerns driving transfer interest

It’s no surprise that Tottenham fans are hoping for reinforcements on the wings and in midfield, given how inconsistent those areas have been this season.

Brennan Johnson, despite surpassing double figures for goals, still has clear areas for improvement—his dribbling and off-the-ball work rate, in particular, need refining.

As for midfield, Cardoso’s name gaining traction makes sense. Given his recent standout performances, including strong displays against Real Madrid and Real Betis, Spurs supporters have already started to push for Cardoso’s signing.

With a buy option already in place, the club has a decision to make, and fans will be hoping they take action before another team swoops in.
