Tottenham want Lionel Messi's team-mate as they look to bolster midfield: report

Description

Tottenham Hotspur will spend the current international break licking their wounds after suffering a 2-0 defeat to London rivals Fulham at the weekend, a loss which sees them remain 14th in the Premier League table.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will have begun the campaign with European ambitions, but these expectations have now been seriously downgraded after a disappointing campaign which has seen them beaten 15 times in the Premier League already.

A busy summer is therefore likely on the cards in north London, not least in the transfer market as chairman Daniel Levy looks to improve the club’s playing squad.

Tottenham target promising Inter Miami star

Tottenham’s recent focus in the transfer market has largely to bring in talented young players, with the likes of teenage duo Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall both being snapped up last summer and subsequently making a first-team impact this term.

Spurs are again said to be targeting another young talent this summer, but this time they are looking across the Atlantic to one of MLS’ best young players and a team-mate of Lionel Messi - ranked at No.1 in FourFourTwo's list of the 100 best footballers of all time.

Inter Miami midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi has come up through the club’s academy, with his performances in the centre of midfield seeing him quickly establish himself in the club’s starting XI.

The 20-year-old was the youngest member of the United States Olympic team last year and is now part of the USMNT’s senior set-up under former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

And according to TBR Football, Tottenham are one of a number of Premier League sides tracking his progress in recent weeks and months.

Manchester City, Brighton & Hove Albion are Newcastle United have also been linked with the versatile midfielder who already has 95 appearances for Inter Milan under his belt.

Cremaschi is valued at €4million by Transfermarkt, but is under contract at the MLS side until the end of 2027, with a club option of a further year, meaning Spurs would likely have to pay more than this to land the in-demand youngster.

‘It’s not Daniel Levy’s fault that Spurs haven’t won a trophy – they can win one under him, and I think they can still win one this season’ Former Tottenham Hotspur boss offers his backing to under-fi

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Tottenham Hotspur have now passed 17 years without winning a major trophy, and chairman Daniel Levy has borne the brunt of fans’ criticism in recent times.

Levy has been in position at the club since 2001, but their only trophy during that period was the 2008 League Cup, when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley.

This season under Ange Postecoglou, they sit a hugely disappointing 13th in the Premier League table this season, leading to increased criticism of Levy.

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss has his say

Tim Sherwood worked under Levy as the club’s manager during the 2013-14 season, having previously played for Spurs between 1999 and 2003, and insists that the criticism of Levy is unfair.

“Everyone looks at the common denominator and they think ‘Well, the managers have all come and gone and they’re still lifting no trophies, but the one remaining factor is Daniel Levy’,” Sherwood told FourFourTwo.

“But I was there with the old regime as a player, and I loved Alan Sugar because he was his own person, he was very straight, and I liked Daniel Levy, too, it’s just the fact that Daniel does it in a different way.

“It’s not his fault that the club haven’t won anything, I believe. I think they’ve had the opportunities to, and I think he’s spent money.

“The recruitment hasn’t been top drawer, that has been an area where if you have to point the finger, you’d have to point the finger at that.

“But then that’s a fine balance as well, because the recruitment team will be saying ‘Well, the manager’s not working with them properly’ and the manager will say ‘Well, the players are not good enough’.

“It’s not Levy’s fault that that’s happening. His job is to put his hand in his pocket and spend the money, and I think he has done that. You look overall, he’s spent the money.

“It’s a head-scratcher why they haven't won, I think they’ve been unlucky a lot of times down the years.

“They just need to break that duck, get over the line and win, and I do think they can win with Levy.”

Spurs have Europa League hope

Tottenham are out of both domestic cup competitions, but they remain in the Europa League – although they lost 1-0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie at Dutch club AZ.

Sherwood, though, believes they can turn the tie around and can still challenge to win that competition.

“I think they can win a trophy under Levy, and I think they can win one this year, I have to be honest,” he said, speaking in association with Foot Italia.

“I think they can win the Europa League. I think they’ll beat AZ. I watched the game last week and I don’t see anything to harm them, the only thing that can harm them is themselves, not playing to the ability that they have around that squad.

“They’ve got players back fit, there’s no excuse on that now. Alright, some of them might be a bit rusty, but they’ve got the players back.

“They’ve got a one-goal deficit going in, but if they can get through this, there’s no-one left in the competition to be scared of, there really isn’t.”

‘I still back Ange Postecoglou – people haven’t respected what he’s said, that injuries have made a massive difference’ Tottenham Hotspur legend defends manager from criticism

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Ange Postecoglou made a promising start to life at Tottenham Hotspur, but this season has been extremely tough.

After charging to the top of the table in the opening stages of his first campaign at the club, Spurs eventually faded to fifth.

This season, they sit firmly in the bottom half of the table, after an injury-ravaged season has taken its toll.

Ange Postecoglou has the backing of a legend

Despite that lowly league position, Spurs legend Teddy Sheringham is still backing Postecoglou, who possibly increased expectations on himself early in the season by declaring that he always won a trophy in his second campaign at a club.

“I'm quite happy with Ange,” Sheringham said. “I think he’s had a learning period in terms of working with the English press, regarding some of the things that he's come out with at the start of the season.

“He probably wouldn’t use that terminology at different times in the season. He probably wouldn’t leave himself open to such criticism.

“He’s very open and honest, and sometimes that comes back to bite you when you speak to the English press like that, it definitely did with Ange.

“But I'm still optimistic about him because of the way he approaches football matches and the way he takes the game to the opposition.

“They’ve had loads of injuries. For me, he speaks sense, and if you’re missing your two international top performers in your centre-halves, and your goalkeeper, they make a massive difference to any football team.

“Any team from kids’ football to the top level of Champions League football, if you’re without your two main centre-halves and your goalkeeper, it makes a huge difference.”

Lack of respect

Some people have suggested that Postecoglou has used injuries as an excuse this season, but Sheringham believes it’s a perfectly valid reason.

“People haven’t respected that situation,” the former striker said, speaking in association with Prime Casino. “They’re still cutting away at him, chomping away, saying ‘We’ve heard that excuse, come on, tell us something different’.

“Ange can’t tell them anything different. It’s still the same situation, but we need to keep going to get through this period.

“Sometimes when you’re repeating yourself, it becomes tiresome and you don’t want to keep saying the same thing, but it’s the truth.

“I'm backing Ange, and when the players come back, things will look so much more positive and strong for Tottenham.

“That positivity floods through the rest of the team. The confidence will ooze once they come back into their positions.”

Tottenham chasing European star to help Archie Gray flourish: report

Description

Tottenham have endured a chaotic campaign, to say the least, in 2024/25.

Ever-mounting injuries have produced an ever-more bedraggled Ange Postecoglou in post-match interviews — but he has clung on to his job and now has players returning.

Absences have dramatically changed the role of some Tottenham men, none more so than Archie Gray. Signed predominately to impact the Lilywhites’ midfield, he has spent the majority of his time in defence. A mooted new signing could soon change that.

Tottenham approach Rayo Vallecano, which could provide huge Archie Gray boost

Still only 18 years old, this is, remarkably, not the first time in his career Gray has had to adapt his game in this way. He broke through at Leeds United as a midfielder last season, but wound up playing the majority of the campaign at right-back to fill in for Luke Ayling.

It went so well that Gray — who is Spurs' eighth-most expensive signing ever — kept the place for the rest of the season. When Postecoglou had a defensive injury crisis of his own, Gray looked as ready as he could be to step in.

But Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo have now claimed that highly-rated Romanian right-back Andrei Ratiu is now on Spurs’ radar. It’ll be a tough fight for the London club. The same report states that Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Brighton, Atalanta, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen are all interested in the defender, who has a release clause in his contract worth €25million.

Nevertheless, the more signings made in the defensive areas, the less likely it is that Gray is put up to fill defensive gaps — especially at right-back, where he has already played almost a full season for Leeds.

Speaking during the Yorkshire club’s play-off run last season, Gray’s great-uncle — and former Leeds winger — Eddie, told Sky Sports: "He's been playing in a position that is not natural to him; he's a midfield player, and he'll end up playing in the middle of the park.”

Soon, if Spurs do land Ratiu, Gray may finally move one step closer to proving his uncle right.

In FourFourTwo’s opinion, we need to get a glimpse of Gray in midfield at some point soon.

His frame and style make him a fairly unnatural fit in a centre-back pairing, but the fact he’s filled in there without too many glaring errors, in the Premier League, shows just how good he could be.

Again, it must be stressed, Gray has taken all this on despite still being just 18 years old. It would be enough to make many of his age-mates crumble, but he’s taken it in his stride.

Imagine what he might show when allowed back to his natural position.

Tottenham looking to sign player who has an Arsenal tattoo: report

Description

Tottenham will be hoping that their testing 2024/25 campaign is showing signs of improvement after they claimed a third consecutive Premier League win at the weekend, comfortably seeing off Ipswich Town 4-1 at Portman Road.

This was good enough for Tottenham to move up to 12th in the Premier League table, but they remain 11 points off the European spots and were knocked out of both of the domestic cup competitions this month.

Improvements will be needed next season and Tottenham supporters will be hoping that the club are active in the transfer market when the summer window opens.

Tottenham linked with Danish international

One player previously linked with a move to Tottenham is Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand, whose brilliant goal for Denmark against England at Euro 2024 will have caught the eye of many a Spurs fan.

Tottenham were said to have watched the 25-year-old closely during last summer’s tournament and the Portuguese media are again raising the prospect of Ange Postecoglou’s side making a move for him.

Last month, A Bola reported that a Spurs scout watched Sporting beat FC Porto in the cup, while a fresh dispatch from Jornal de Noticias also mentions interest from the north London side.

This report claims that Sporting are aware of interest in Hjulmand from other clubs and that it would be ‘difficult to retain him’ this summer and that the club could be willing to negotiate around his €80million release clause.

Manchester United are also being linked, but there’s a further wrinkle which may set alarm bells ringing among the Spurs fanbase, concerning where the player’s previous allegiances may lie.

That’s because Hjulmand has an Arsenal badge tattooed on his left shoulder, as pointed out on a Reddit post, which adds that the Dane is a big fan of former Gunners skipper Patrick Vieira.

In FourFourTwo’s view, Hjulmand - valued by Transfermarkt at €45million - could be a very effective Premier League player. At 25 years of age, he would be about to enter his peak years and would fit well into this young Spurs side.

His release clause of €80million is too steep, so that would need to be negotiated down, and as for the Gunners tattoo, you’d like to imagine that a weekly wage of tens of thousands of pounds would be enough to make the Dane reassess where his loyalties lie.

Is Son Heung-Min Solanke injured this weekend? Premier League injury update on Tottenham Hotspur forward

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Tottenham are still searching for the silverware that has eluded them since 2008, with coach Ange Postecoglou insisting he always wins trophies in his second season as manager.

Now into that second season, Spurs have been knocked out of the FA Cup and League Cup, and sit 12th in the Premier League. This leaves the Europa League as their only hope of a trophy this season.

Injuries have been a huge reason for their extremely poor season, with Son Heung-Min potentially adding to their injury woes.

Will Son Heung-min be available this weekend for Tottenham?

Whilst it is not the Manchester United of old, the 1-0 league victory against Ruben Amorim's United was a step in the right direction for Tottenham, with James Maddison returning to the starting XI with a goal.

Guglielmo Vicario took the place of Antonin Kinsky in goal after a significant period out due to injury. However, Son, who ranked at No.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League wingers of all time, picked up a knock against Manchester United, as did Rodrigo Bentancur and new signing Kevin Danso.

After the win over United, an upbeat Postecoglou provided an injury update on Spurs captain Son.

On the trio, he said: “They all got sort of knocks. I don't think it is anything significant. But the beauty of it now is we can actually get them to recover instead of trying to patch them up and throw them out [on the pitch] again midweek.

“I think from what I’ve heard, knocks all three of them but they should be fine.”

Son is therefore likely to return to action in time for their away trip to a relegation-threatened Ipswich side who have failed to win in six league matches.

After months of injury issues, Tottenham are slowly getting key players back. Provided there are no fresh issues, Spurs should have all players, bar Radu Dragusin, fit and ready for when the end-of-season run-in begins in early March.

Manchester United owners are investing money in Tottenham: the strange agreement that you may not be aware of

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Manchester United and Tottenham have been connected with a strange sponsorship agreement since 2022.

The two Premier League giants - who recently faced off in north London just days ago - are both enduring difficult seasons in very different yet bizarre ways.

Ruben Amorim's task has suddenly got a lot harder after news of Amad's recent injury blow shocked supporters, with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer and Manuel Ugarte also sidelined for the Red Devils in recent weeks.

After the sacking of Erik ten Hag back in October 2024, Manchester United have continued to dwindle under new boss Amorim for the majority of the season.

It seems their only hope now is success in either the FA Cup or the UEFA Europa League but injuries are once again making the 40-year-old's job at Old Trafford even more difficult.

But according to Mail Sport, Manchester United's minority owners INEOS have been affiliated with Tottenham Hotspur since 2022 and now want to end their three-year association with the Lilywhites.

INEOS, owned and operated by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has been the club's official 4x4 vehicle partner with their Ineos Grenadier advertised extensively by Spurs. Ratcliffe was linked with buying a London club before his investment in United, with Chelsea rumoured before BlueCo's acquisition.

Amicable discussions are said to be ongoing between INEOS and Spurs to bring to an end to their five-year sponsorship agreement as Ratcliffe again looks to tighten his pursestrings.

Spurs and Ineos are yet to respond to the claims, but the news comes after New Zealand Rugby said last week that it was going to take Ineos to court for failing to pay the first instalment of 2025 sponsorship money that was due under a six-year deal signed in 2021. Yikes.

INEOS' time at Old Trafford has been turbulent to say the very least, with even more job redundancies expected to come in 2025. Over 250 people were laid off last year with a further bout of job cuts set to follow.

In FourFourTwo's view, the press around Ratcliffe and INEOS is at a continuing worrying level, especially given Manchester United's on-field problems in the Premier League this season.
