The Boy Hotspur

Heung-Min Son has named his pick for his favorite Tottenham player, and it comes as a surprise.

Son has been a pivotal figure at Tottenham Hotspur since joining the club in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen. Over the years, he has become one of the Premier League’s most consistent attackers, known for his incredible pace, dribbling, and lethal finishing.

He formed a particularly potent partnership with Harry Kane, and together they broke records for the most goal combinations in Premier League history.

Son has also been a key player in several of Tottenham’s memorable campaigns, including their run to the 2019 Champions League final.

Having been at the club for over nine years now, he has played with some big names.

When asked the question at the Tottenham Hotspur fan forum, he named Ben Davies as his all time favourite player at the club.

Ben Davies has been a reliable and versatile player for Tottenham Hotspur since joining from Swansea City in 2014. Primarily a left-back, Davies has proven to be a utility player for the club, playing in a number of positions across the defense.

Though not always a regular starter, his professionalism and consistency have made him a fan favorite.

Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly keen on signing the Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from TBR, Tottenham considered a move for the 23-year-old striker before they opted to move for Dominic Solanke. Boniface had an exceptional season last year and scored 21 goals in all competitions. He picked up 10 assists along the way as well.

There is no doubt that the striker would have been a quality acquisition for the north London club. However, Chelsea have now entered the race to sign him and they are monitoring his progress ahead of a potential move. The Blues could certainly use more attacking quality and the 23-year-old would be a superb addition.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham reignite their interest in the player in the coming months. They could certainly use more depth in the striking department. Richarlison has been quite underwhelming since joining the club and he has been linked with an exit. Replacing him with the 23-year-old Bundesliga striker could prove to be a wise decision in the long term.

The striker will certainly be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League. It will be an excellent step up in his career and he will look to prove himself at the highest level.

Both Tottenham and Chelsea will be attractive destinations for the player, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.

Meanwhile, Solanke is yet to live up to the expectations at his new club and he will need to capture his top form soon.

Tottenham Hotspur will compete in the UEFA Europa League this season and they will look to do well in the European competition.

They are one of the strongest teams in the competition and they will look to win the tournament. They have managed to win the Europa League, formerly known as the UEFA Cup twice in their history. It remains to be seen whether we can go all the way this time around.

There is no doubt that they have a talented squad at their disposal and they have a charismatic manager in charge as well. They have not won a major trophy for a while, and they will look to end the wait for silverware this season.

Winning the UEFA Europa League would not only grant them entry into the UEFA Champions League, it would also end the wait for a major trophy. It would give them a major confidence boost ahead of the next season. However, the Opta Supercomputer has predicted (via Daily Mail) them to finish fourth in the tournament.

The Opta Supercomputer expects Spurs to win the tournament this year and they have predicted that Spanish outfit Athletic Club Bilbao will finish as the runners-up. They expect Slavia Praha to reach the semifinals along with Tottenham Hotspur.

The London club certainly have the quality to go all the way in the tournament this season and their fans will not be very happy with the prediction from the Opta Supercomputer. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can prove them wrong and bring the cup home this time.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has now responded to the recent criticism following an underwhelming start to the new campaign.

Tottenham were quite busy in the recently concluded transfer window. They added a few exceptionally talented young stars to their team and even broke their transfer record to secure the services of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. Despite all the hard work they had put in during the summer, the North London club haven’t had an ideal start to the new season.

They have played an impressive brand of football but the results haven’t gone their way. After back-to-back defeats in the league at the hands of rivals Arsenal and Newcastle United, Spurs returned to winning ways against Brentford in their last outing and Solanke also bagged his first goal for his new club. Although there is still time for them to turn things around, their poor start has led to significant criticism, with Daniel Levy at the centre of it.

The Spurs chairman participated in a Q&A session on Monday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and he responded to the criticism he has received from some fans.

The club chief said: “I have a very thick skin and I just ignore it. Makes me want to be more successful.”

The results in the initial phase haven’t been pleasing for Tottenham fans. They feel the club could have done more in the recently concluded transfer window to give Ange Postecoglou more firepower.

But, it might be too early to pass on judgment as it seems the club have met the Australian manager’s major demands. They have reinforced their attack significantly and added a few new young faces to their midfield. They have been playing some quality football and once the results start going their way, things could turn around quickly.

Tottenham Hotspur scouts are keeping a close eye on Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling ahead of a potential transfer.

The North London club have made a significant change to their approach in the transfer window. It is no longer about looking for the best opportunities that the market presents rather Tottenham are focusing on scouting stars with huge potential quite early in their career. They added Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert to their squad in the summer and now have their eyes set on Tyler Dibling.

The 18-year-old has become the talk of the town thanks to his incredible performances in the initial phase of the new season. According to a report from TBR, Tottenham are keen on his signature and they have asked their scouts to monitor his progress. Representatives of the North London club were in the stands to watch the right-winger in action against Ipswich Town at the weekend.

Dibling put up an impressive performance in the game against Manchester United. While the result didn’t go their way, he caused a lot of problems for Diogo Dalot in the first half and even earned a penalty. He carried that form into the game against Ipswich and was unplayable for the majority of the time. The teenager bagged his first senior goal and his performance would have left a mark on the Spurs scouts.

While Southampton are looking to hold contract renewal talks with their academy graduate as they look to reward him for his progress, Spurs could soon knock on their doors to try and prise him away. Apart from Tottenham, other top clubs in England are also monitoring him. As a result, Daniel Levy’s men won’t find it easy to strike a deal for his services.

Real Betis ace Romain Perraud has heaped praise on the former Tottenham Hotspur star and teammate Giovani Lo Celso.

Tottenham forked out a fortune to acquire the services of Lo Celso back in the day. While he was an integral part of their first team in the initial years, the Argentine midfielder failed to live up to the expectations and he fell down the pecking order with time.

While he is only 28 and still has a lot of years left in him, the attacking midfielder was not a part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans moving ahead. Spurs were keen on getting him off their books throughout the summer and he eventually ended up returning to his former club Real Betis. He has had an exceptional start at the Spanish club and his teammate Romain Perraud spoke very highly about the attacking midfielder during an interview with El Correo de Andalucía.

He said: “I know the player, he is a magician. He was at Real Betis before and at PSG and Tottenham. He is a great player who has won the Copa America and in the number 10 position he is very important for us and he will help us a lot this year”

While he might have struggled at Spurs, he was an important part of the Argentina national team throughout and helped them win two Copa America titles. He would have even been part of their World Cup-winning campaign had he been fit.

On his return to Betis, he has been used as a number 10 in all three of his outings and has scored three goals so far. He has already proved his worth and if he carries on in a similar fashion, the Spanish outfit would be glad they struck a deal with Spurs to bring him back.

The French full-back is quite impressed with the 28-year-old’s abilities and feels he could play a very important role for them going forward. Meanwhile, Spurs did secure an option to buy Johnny Cardoso from Betis next summer while they negotiated Lo Celso’s departure which is a positive for the North London club and their fans.

Tottenham insider John Wenham has praised left-back Destiny Udogie’s performance against Brentford, claiming that he looked to be “back to his best”.

The Italian picked up a season ending injury towards the end of last season and was out for the rest of the season as well as the Euros.

He worked hard over the summer on his recovery and was ready in time for the new season, and after a slow start, he has started to get back to his pre-injury form.

Wenham praised James Maddison and Udogie for their performances against The Bees as they came back from behind to win 3-1.

Maddison’s overall performance was outstanding and he capped it off with a superb chipped finish over the goalkeeper.

As for Udogie, Wenham was left impressed with how much of a constant threat he was from the left-hand side.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said:

“I loved the performance from Spurs,” Wenham said.

“After Brentford got their early goal, I thought that we exerted complete domination on the match. James Maddison will get the plaudits because of the role that he plays.

“I thought he was good at Coventry also. However, there was another performance which I was impressed by.

“I thought Udogie was back to his best on the left-hand side. He was a constant problem throughout the match.”

Ange will be glad to have his best players in their best forms as he hopes to turn their slow start to the season around.

Tottenham loanee Min-hyuk Yang once again made headlines, scoring a brilliant equaliser for Gangwon in their match against Pohang Steelers.

The 18-year-old displayed impressive timing, making a perfectly executed run to the back post. He received a delightful delivery from his teammate and finished it off with a delicate first-time strike, bringing the score to 1-1.

This goal marks Yang’s ninth of the season in the K-League, alongside five assists, showcasing his all-around contributions to the team.

Watch the goal below:

The club is set to officially welcome him in January, and there are indications that he may be integrated into the first team during the second half of the season.

Despite his youth, Tottenham see a lot of potential in the youngster, and the coaching staff is said to be closely monitoring his progress leading up to his arrival.

If he maintains his current form, Yang could indeed emerge as a valuable asset for the Spurs in the near future.

James Maddison, who joined Tottenham from Leicester City last summer for £40 million, made an immediate impact, establishing himself as a key creative force under Ange Postecoglou. He contributed three goals and five assists in his first 11 games.

However, a setback in November saw him sidelined with an injury sustained against Chelsea, limiting his appearances until late January. Since returning, Maddison struggled to regain his earlier form, which even cost him a place in the England squad.

He swiftly established himself as a key creative force in Ange’s side, contributing with three goals and five assists in his first 11 games.

However, a setback in November, when he sustained an injury against Chelsea, sidelined him until late January. Since his return, Maddison has struggled to replicate his earlier form for ther rest of the season which even resulted in him losing out the place in the England squad.

This season, he has appeared to be back to his best with a decent start to the season. In 5 Premier League games so far he has made 3 goal contributions, assisting two and scoring one.

His performance against Brentford was his best of the season, which was capped off with a lovely chipped finish over the keeper.

And former Premier League striker Troy Deeney was among those who were impressed by his performance.

Writing for BBC Sport, he opined:

“This is the game I’ve been waiting to see Madds do for a long, long time. Even though Brentford scored early he got in there and said: ‘Right, watch what I do’. He created loads of chances.

“I’ve been critical of him at times, I felt he has gone too short and not put himself in difficult positions. This was the perfect response.”

Tottenham fans will hope that Maddison continues his hot form and help Spurs go on a winning streak to climb further up the table after a slow start to the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Galatasaray winger Barris Alper Yilmaz.

According to a report via SportWitness, the North London club are keen on the 24-year-old Turkish winger and will face competition from Brighton. The Seagulls are willing to offer around €25 million in order to sign the winger and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat them to his signature.

The North London club are well stocked in the wide areas and signing another winger would be quite surprising. Tottenham should focus on improving their midfield and defence first.

Yilmaz had an impressive season with the Turkish outfit last year, scoring seven goals and picking up 12 assists in all competitions. He has started the current season in impressive form, scoring four goals and picking up an assist in nine matches.

The winger needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Brighton will be able to provide him with that opportunity. At Spurs, he will have to compete with Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Son Heung-min.

It will be interesting to see if Brighton submit an offer to sign the player in the coming weeks and whether the Turkish outfit are prepared to accept it. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite attractive for the 24-year-old and he will be excited to try out a new challenge at this stage of his career.

There is no doubt that the technically gifted winger is good enough for the Premier League, but Tottenham have other priorities and it seems unlikely that they will sign the player.
