The Boy Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou delivers bad news for Tottenham, confirming Wilson Odobert’s injury is a significant one.

Spurs came back from a goal down to turn the game around in the dying minutes of the match and win 2-1.

Coventry took the lead in the 63rd minute and were on the verge to cause a major upset. But Djed Spence came to the rescue in the 88th minute, scoring the equaliser with a tidy finish.

And 4 minutes later, Brennan Johnson completed the comeback. The goal would not have been possible without Bentancur’s strong play in the middle who snatched the ball from the opposition before playing the perfect pass for the Welshman who made no mistake with his finish.

While Spurs did come out of the tie victorious, they did suffer an injury blow.

Wilson Odobert who started the match was taken off injured in the first half in what appeared to be a hamstring related issue.

And manager Ange Postecoglou has now confirmed that the injury looks like a fairly significant one. When asked about the injury, he said (via The Athletic):

“Hard to say. Wilson looks fairly significant so we’ll just wait and see.”

This will come as a big blow for Tottenham ahead of what is going to be a busy period with three games in a week including match against Manchester United next weekend.

If the injury is serious as it appears, the exciting winger could be out for a while.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to make Cristian Romero the highest-paid player at the club in order to fend off interest from Real Madrid.

According to Give Me Sport, the Spanish giants are keen on signing the 2022 World Cup winner and Tottenham are ready to tie him down to a new deal. It remains to be seen whether Romero is prepared to snub the opportunity to move to Real Madrid and sign a new contract with the Premier League club.

Offering him lucrative wages could certainly help Tottenham convince the player, but they will have to match up to his ambitions as well. They must convince the player that he can win major trophies with them. A player of his quality will want to win league titles and Champions League trophies.

Tottenham have an exciting project and a quality squad. However, they are not quite at the level required to win major trophies. It remains to be seen whether they can improve the squad further in January and end their wait for silverware this season.

Keeping Romero at the club should be one of their priorities. According to reports, the new deal could see him earning around £200,000 a week.

He is one of the best defenders in the world, and he certainly deserves to earn premium wages. Tottenham fans will certainly hope that the club can do everything in their power to sort out his long-term future.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has addressed the recent controversy surrounding a retweet by star defender Cristian Romero, which many saw as a veiled critique of the club’s management.

Following Tottenham’s defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, Romero shared a post from Argentine journalist Gaston Edul that expressed dissatisfaction with Tottenham’s travel arrangements for players returning from international duty.

The post suggested that Spurs were the only Premier League club failing to provide adequate support, which some believe may have disrupted player preparations for the North London derby.

Though Romero quickly deleted the retweet, the damage was done, and the post sparked a heated reaction on social media.

Speaking on Tuesday, ahead of Tottenham’s game against Coventry City, Postecoglou was asked about the situation.

The manager clarified that no concerns were raised about travel logistics before the derby and reassured that all players, including Romero, were back in training by Thursday, well ahead of the Sunday clash.

Ange Postecoglou said (quotes via The Mirror):

“It was mentioned to me [after the game], but it wasn’t mentioned to me before the game. All the players were back by Thursday for a Sunday game. Prior to the game, there was nothing mentioned.”

Romero, despite being one of Tottenham’s key defenders, has faced some criticism this season for his performances.

However, the club hopes to manage the issue internally and keep their star defender focused on upcoming challenges.

Tottenham are ready to battle Premier League rivals for the services of Austrian defensive sensation Samson Baidoo.

Samson Baidoo has had an impressive rise at Red Bull Salzburg, he came up the ranks at some pace and managed to secure promotion to the first team in the summer of 2022. He has gone from strength to strength with every passing season and now finds himself on the wishlist of multiple top clubs from across Europe.

According to a report from HITC, Tottenham are keen on signing the Austrian international and they are willing to battle top-four rivals Manchester City and Newcastle United for his services. The 2023/24 campaign was Baidoo’s breakthrough season at Salzburg. While an injury did trouble him, the 20-year-old made quite a name for himself with his performances and huge potential.

He has been a constant feature for them at the back in the 2024/25 season and the North London club are closely monitoring the defensive sensation ahead of a potential transfer. Despite having Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin in their squad, Ange Postecoglou is keen on having more depth.

Van de Ven has fitness concerns while Romero tends to pick up suspensions every now and then, as a result, the Australian manager seeks more quality options at the back. Baidoo could be an exceptional signing for them as he can provide cover and eventually become one of their mainstays.

While Spurs have been monitoring him for a long while, Manchester City have been scouting him for almost 18 months. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe, eager to strengthen Newcastle’s defence, is also interested in bringing the Austrian international to Tyneside.

Tottenham Hotspur made a late attempt to sign Lecce’s highly-rated left-back Patrick Dorgu during the closing stages of the summer transfer window, according to the outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.

Despite their efforts, Spurs were unable to secure the talented defender’s signature. Dorgu, whose market value is reportedly between €30 million and €40 million, caught the attention of several top clubs, including Napoli, AC Milan, and Juventus.

While these teams made approaches for the 19-year-old Danish-Nigerian defender, Lecce decided to hold onto him for the current season. However, the Italian club has informed Dorgu’s representatives that they are open to offers next summer.

The promising left-back, who joined Lecce’s youth academy from Nordsjælland in 2022, has made a rapid rise through the ranks. He debuted for Lecce’s senior team in the recent 2023–24 campaign and has showcased his versatility by not only excelling at left-back but also contributing in midfield and attack on the left flank.

Last season, Dorgu made 34 appearances across Serie A and Coppa Italia, scoring two goals. With his contract running until June 2027, Lecce consider him a valuable asset, but Tottenham may revisit their pursuit of the player in the January transfer windows.

Tottenham are eyeing up a January move for AC Milan attacking sensation Noah Okafor.

Tottenham significantly bolstered their attack in the summer as they extended the stay of Timo Werner and signed Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert. But they haven’t had an ideal start to the new season with just one win in three Premier League outings. Spurs are now considering bringing in further reinforcements in the winter and according to Milan Live, the North London club are looking to step up their pursuit for the services of Noah Okafor.

After making a name for himself at Red Bull Salzburg, the 24-year-old Swiss winger made the move to AC Milan last summer. He has featured in 39 matches for the Italian giants and has contributed towards 10 goals.

While Okafor is an exciting talent who can feature anywhere in attack, the arrival of Alvaro Morata has seen him go down the pecking order at Milan and Spurs are looking to prise him away in the winter.

With Ange Postecoglou at the helm, the North London club want to reinforce their attack and they feel the versatile Swiss international could be an ideal fit for their system. They are reportedly willing to table an offer worth around £17 million, making it quite clear that they are very serious about adding Okafor to their squad.

Milan could see this as an opportunity to book a profit of around £5 million and reinvest the money raised to bring in a player who is a better fit in their system. Spurs are eager to get the deal over the line as they feel the 24-year-old’s versatility could give them the much-needed depth to be competitive in all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Signing a new striker was a top priority for Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur heading into the summer transfer window. They were involved in long-drawn negotiations with Bournemouth and eventually struck a deal to sign Dominic Solanke in a club-record deal worth £65 million.

While the former Liverpool striker’s arrival significantly bolsters their attack, Postecoglou’s team are still on the lookout for ways to add more quality to their attack. According to Fichajes, the North London club are interested in the services of Dominic Calvert-Lewin who could leave Everton at the end of the season with his contract running out.

The 27-year-old striker was linked with a move away from the Toffees throughout the summer. But, he ended up staying at the club. While the Merseyside club will be keen on extending his stay with his deal running out in less than 10 months, the player could push for a move away in search of a new challenge elsewhere.

Tottenham could provide an exciting opportunity for the English international to compete at the highest level. With Richarlison struggling for consistency, Calvert-Lewin could compete with Solanke for a place in the starting XI. His arrival could help Spurs take the next step and it could help them challenge the best teams in the country.

Given the amount of experience Calvert-Lewin has of playing in the English top flight, he could be a sensational signing for the North London club. With the 27-year-old potentially available on a free transfer, Spurs won’t want to miss out on the opportunity.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma wasted no time returning to London after sustaining an injury during Mali’s AFCON qualifier against Eswatini, where he had opened the scoring.

Desperate to impress manager Ange Postecoglou, Bissouma quickly flew back for an injury assessment, according to London World.

With the crucial North London derby against Arsenal just days away, early reports suggest that Bissouma could be sidelined for at least three weeks, dealing a significant blow to Tottenham’s midfield.

He has been in fantastic form recently, finding the back of the net in both of Mali’s international fixtures during the break. Last month, he also scored for Tottenham in their dominant 4-0 victory over Everton, with a stunning shot from outside the box.

Since joining Spurs from Brighton, the Mali international has worked hard to establish himself as a key player. Last season, he featured in 28 matches, playing every game he was available for, highlighting the trust Postecoglou places in him.

His energy and presence in midfield have become crucial to the team’s structure, and his absence will be keenly felt if the injury keeps him out for an extended period.

With a contract running until 2026, Bissouma is set to play a pivotal role in Tottenham’s future. Postecoglou will undoubtedly be hoping for a swift recovery as Spurs aim to compete for domestic and European titles this season, with Bissouma’s contributions vital to their ambitions.

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon could be left on the sidelines if he fails to secure a move before the Turkish Super Lig transfer window closes.

According to GiveMeSport, Spurs are eager to offload the Spanish international, with interest reportedly coming from Fenerbahce.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has made it clear that Reguilon is not part of his plans at Spurs, with Destiny Udogie firmly established as the club’s first-choice left-back following impressive performances last season.

Reguilon has already been excluded from Tottenham’s matchday squad for the first three Premier League games this season, signalling that his future likely lies away from North London.

Reguilon joined Spurs in 2020 from Real Madrid for a €30 million fee and initially showed promise. However, he has since struggled to cement a regular starting position due to managerial changes and inconsistent form.

With time running out, a move to Fenerbahce could be the key to salvaging his career, offering him the playing time he needs.

Should a transfer fail to materialize, Reguilon may find himself frozen out of Tottenham’s squad until at least January when the winter transfer window opens.

As the window deadline looms, Reguilon’s chances of securing a move and regular playing time this season are hanging in the balance.

A move to Fenerbahce or another interested club could be the lifeline he needs to rejuvenate his career.

Danny Rose believes that Mauricio Pochettino may one day return to manage Tottenham Hotspur again.

The North London club might not have had the best of starts in the 2024/25 season but Ange Postecoglou has done a great job since taking charge in the summer of 2023. He has got them playing an attacking and attractive brand of football and given the kind of signings they have made, Spurs are expected to take the next step under the Australian manager in the new season.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction but former Spurs defender Danny Rose has claimed that they could make a surprise managerial appointment as he feels Mauricio Pochettino could return to manage the North London club. The Argentine manager who helped establish Spurs as one of the title contenders and helped them make it to the final of the Champions League during his spell from 2014 to 2019 could soon be back at his former club.

While speaking on the In The Zone podcast, Rose said via Football London: “I definitely thought that pre-Chelsea, [Mauricio] Pochettino could return to Tottenham,”

“I don’t think that him going to Chelsea for a year hinders that happening again in the future. Although it’s another four years until the next World Cup and hopefully, he’s going to see it out with managing the USA.

“Of course, anything can happen in the next four years but before he went to Chelsea, I thought it was nailed on that he probably would have gone to Spurs before Ange. I still believe that he will return to Tottenham as manager one day.”

Following a successful time at Tottenham, the Argentine manager had a spell at Paris Saint-Germain before taking charge of rival London club Chelsea. Rose feels Pochettino’s one-year-long spell at the Blues is unlikely to have any impact on him potentially returning to the North London club.

While he has recently taken charge of the USA national team and is expected to be around to lead them to the next World Cup, anything could happen in the next years. Rose strongly believes the Argentine manager who is very popular among Tottenham fans will be back leading his former club in the future.
