When Tottenham won the Europa League last season, it was the club’s first piece of silverware for 17 years.

The victory over Manchester United in the final came against the backdrop of a disappointing Premier League campaign, one which ultimately cost Ange Postecoglou his job.

But with the dust having settled on the Australian manager's reign, one of his former players is able to look back fondly on what they were able to achieve.

James Maddison on winning the Europa League

“Winning a trophy with Spurs was special,” James Maddison tells FourFourTwo when asked about his proudest achievements in the game. “And playing for England, walking out at Wembley for my country with my family there.

“It’s hard to top those two. Being part of the team that won the Europa League means a lot.

Tottenham have had their fair share of near misses in recent history, and Maddison believes that Postecoglou’s approach to embracing the club’s history and using this a catalyst to change was key in delivering a long-awaited trophy.

“Ange [Postecoglou] always used to say that there are pictures on the wall everywhere of teams that have won trophies at this club and they’re all in black and white, but we could be the group to change that.

“And we did.”

Former Celtic boss Postecoglou was dismissed less than three weeks after the Europa League final in Bilbao and would go on to last for just 39 days and eight games at Nottingham Forest in his next managerial stint.

But for Maddison, Postecoglou’s presence looms large on his recollection of Spurs’ first European trophy win since the 1984 UEFA Cup.

“He was a powerful guy, really powerful. You grabbed onto anything he said – and we did it, we changed it.

“The parade was very special, to see how much it meant to the Tottenham fans – it was really nice to be part of that.”

Maddison was speaking at PUMA’s new store on Oxford Street in London, the brand’s first European flagship store.

Fulham vs Tottenham: Premier League preview

Fulham are continuing to push up the table and will be hoping to compound Tottenham's misery further with a win on home soil this weekend.

The Cottagers won 2-1 in North London in the reverse fixture back in November and could be on the way to a double should the seam feat occur on Sunday.

Leapfrogging Sunderland with a 3-1 win at the Stadium of Light last weekend, the Cottagers are only three points behind 7th-placed Brentford with 11 games to go.

Two goals from Raul Jimenez took his tally for the season to 9 goals and he will be aiming to reach double figures against Spurs.

Igor Tudor began his tenure with a 4-1 drubbing against Arsenal in last weekend's North London derby, not exactly the ideal way to introduce yourself.

The Croatian is tasked with keeping the Lilywhites in the Premier League first and foremost, as the threat of dropping into the Championship remains at large.

Spurs still haven't won in the Premier League in 2026, with their last win in the division coming back at the end of the last calendar year against Crystal Palace.

Injuries are continuing to plague the squad, with 10 players currently unavailable, including high-profile names such as James Maddison, Pedro Porro and Ben Davies.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Fulham 2-0 Tottenham

Fulham are solid on home soil and we can't see Spurs' form picking up without the return of some key players.

For James Maddison, the 2025/26 campaign had the potential to be one of the defining seasons of his career.

With the playmaker still the right side of 30 years old and with Tottenham having qualified for the Champions League and England in a World Cup year, the former Leicester City playmaker will have been hoping that the stars were aligning for him this summer.

Instead, Maddison would be reminded that football can be a cruel game, as he suffered an ACL injury during a pre-season friendly against Newcastle United, derailing his season before it had even begun in earnest.

Maddison on the 'dark days' during his injury recovery

“It was painful,” he tells FourFourTwo, referring not just to the physical injury, but to the emotional impact. “It was difficult to accept, with a big season ahead, a World Cup year.

“But it is what it is, you have to deal with it, crack on with the rehab and smile in the face of adversity. I’ve been working hard every day, head down, grit my teeth and get through it.

“There have been some tough days, some dark days, lonely days. But I’ll get there and be back better and stronger, I have no doubt.

“The medical team at Spurs is amazing, the manager, all the coaches, everyone has been supportive. Like myself, they can’t wait to see me back on the pitch.”

A typical recovery time for an ACL injury is around nine months, but Maddison is cautious when it comes to putting an exact date on when he expects to return.

“I don’t know yet,” he says. Asked whether he’d given up on his dream of making this year’s World Cup, he’d similarly rather not go into it.

“That’s not my priority,” he says. “I’m just focusing on the rehab, not looking too far ahead – it’s been day by day, getting my knee right, feeling good and feeling strong, and the rest will take care of itself, like it always has done.”

Elite sport is also about how players deal with such setbacks. “Yeah, you’ve got to bounce back,” he says. “I just can’t wait to be back doing my thing for Tottenham, proving myself and getting back to that level.”

Understandably, Maddison’s primary focus is getting back onto the pitch. “I’m coming into my prime. I’m so hungry, I’m working so hard. I’ve still got so much to give.”

Maddison was speaking at PUMA’s new store on Oxford Street in London, the brand’s first European flagship store.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to sell Pedro Porro this summer – for under £25 million.

Few Tottenham players have performed consistently this season, hence their lowly position in the Premier League table and the dismissal of Thomas Frank.

New manager Igor Tudor will hope to get more out of an underperforming squad in order to move clear of the relegation zone – and will look towards some key players: the likes of Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro.

Tottenham Hotspur could be losing major stars this summer

The latter is set to return from a hamstring injury sustained in January for this weekend, and that will be a major boost for Spurs.

But the right-back’s strong performances over the last three seasons in north London have not gone unnoticed.

According to The Interista, Serie A giants Inter Milan are interested in signing Porro this summer.

The 26-year-old has a reported release clause of €25 million in his contract – about £25m – which runs until 2028.

But Inter are expected to face competition for his signature, with several other admirers of Porro monitoring the situation.

The Nerazzurri are looking for a potential replacement for Denzel Dumfries, who could leave the club in the summer.

If Dumfries stays, Inter could instead look to sign highly-rated 20-year-old Marco Palestra from Atalanta as a younger option.

Spurs will be reluctant to let Porro leave regardless of interest from top clubs, but the absence of European football next season - assuming they do not win the Champions League - could be a factor for the Spaniard.

Much could also depend on whether Spurs avoid relegation; dropping to the Championship would inevitably mean the loss of most of their key players, including Porro. For now, Inter’s interest is speculation, and it remains to be seen if such a move would appeal to Porro.

Tottenham are eyeing up one of Europe’s brightest young talents for a summer €50 million swoop.

Spurs may be sleepwalking towards the Premier League’s relegation zone at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped them from scouting potential new blood ahead of a vital summer of business, according to reports.

And for €50m, they might just be able to prise Real Madrid from their 18-year-old Argentine wonderkid.

Spurs are in for Real Madrid teenager but on one condition

Franco Mastantuono is a capable player for his age, but this season has not been what he might have hoped.

The attacking midfielder has understandably struggled for minutes across a frontline that boasts Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Brahim Diaz.

Instead, a move to the Premier League might open the door to regular top-flight football, and Spurs are keeping tabs on the situation, according to CaughtOffside.

James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski all suffered long-term injuries this season, while Richarlison, Mathys Tel, and Randal Kolo Muani have huffed and puffed all season long with insufficient output between them to show for it.

Mastantuono would bring technical prowess and unpredictability to a turgid front line in North London, but also a grounded determination at odds with his bleached-blond buzzcut hairstyle.

Brighton and Chelsea are reportedly sniffing around too, but many clubs will be unwilling to part with such a huge fee for a relatively unproven prospect.

And for Spurs, there is a catch.

Should they fulfill their fans’ worst fears and be relegated this season, the chances of a new €50m signing from Real Madrid are absolutely zero.

The Spurs hierarchy would need to ruthlessly slash the wage budget in the Championship, and even then would be in dire financial straits as a direct consequence of spending a season in the second tier.

Tottenham currently sit 16th, four points above West Ham in 18th, and will be nervously looking over their shoulder until the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are in grave danger of a shock relegation from the Premier League.

Spurs are just four points above the drop zone and still looking for their first domestic win of the calendar year, having taken only four points from a possible 27 so far in 2026.

The North London club appointed former Juventus boss Igor Tudor as head coach this month after sacking Thomas Frank, as they aim to avoid their first relegation for half a century.

Staggering financial cost of relegation for Spurs revealed

The sight of Spurs' world-class Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosting Championship football would be hugely embarrassing for a club who reached the Champions League final in 2019 and won the Europa League less than 12 months ago.

In fact, Tottenham are so ill-prepared for playing in the second tier that their players reportedly do not have salary-reduction clauses in their contracts - and that is just one of the ways relegation would hurt their finances.

Analysis by BBC Sport and football finance expert Kieran Maguire estimates that Spurs' annual revenue would fall by an enormous £261m if they start next season in the Championship.

The report claims that Tottenham's broadcast, matchday and commercial income combined would drop from £609m in the Premier League to £348m in the second tier.

According to the BBC, Spurs currently earn £128m from broadcast revenue in the top flight, but this figure would plunge to cover only the £45m parachute payment awarded to teams relegated to the Championship.

Tottenham will also miss out on European football next term - unless they win this season's Champions League - which would see them lose out on at least £71m.

Meanwhile, Spurs' matchday revenue is estimated to fall from £131m to £79m if they go down, with their commercial income set to drop from £279m to £224m.

The cost of relegation is frightening for a club whose most recent wage bill was reportedly £254m - more than £200m above the Championship average of £38m - and who still owe £337m in outstanding instalments towards transfer fees for current players, according to the BBC.

And even if Spurs were promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt, Maguire warned that the financial impact would be felt for years to come.

He said: "For a club of Spurs' ambitions and financial scale, relegation would not simply be a short-term sporting setback. The economics of English football make recovery a multi-year project."

Tottenham Hotspur's woe this season was compounded on Sunday evening after the team fell to a 4-1 derby day defeat by Arsenal.

The result leaves interim head coach Igor Tudor's new side positioned precariously above the Premier League's relegation zone, with just four points separating the North Londoners and current 18th-placed side West Ham United.

Spurs' struggles this season have been well-publicised, not least because of recent results, and talk of the team's failings has even made it into Swedish Parliament.

Swedish politician pokes fun at Tottenham in parliament

Former finance minister Mikael Damberg made reference to his opponents' economic plan by describing it as 'Spursy'. The colloquial term, derived from Tottenham's repeated shortcomings particularly on the big stage, has permeated popular footballing discourse among fans and apparently legislators in the Scandinavian country, too.

Damberg's Spurs reference related to the Swedish economy in the sense that the country has vast resources but is currently underperforming where it should be expected to be.

The politician defined 'Spursy' to the Swedish parliament as a state where there are 'opportunities but get no results' due to 'wrong decisions and short-term thinking', before delivering a stark warning.

"Don't let Sweden become 'Spursy'," he said. "We can't afford to perform like Tottenham".

As is the case nowadays, the opportunity for fans of rival clubs to pile on a team currently in poor form was gleefully taken up causing Damberg's comments to go viral.

On social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Damberg outlined that he was not an Arsenal fan taking the chance to make a cheap joke at the team's expensive, but that instead he only supports Swedish club AIK.

"Yes, I called the Swedish government's economic plan 'Spursy.' And before anyone starts again: No, that does not mean I'm an Arsenal fan," he wrote, before doubling down on his initial statement. "I support AIK Fotboll. But the Swedish government's economic plan still performs like Tottenham".

And so the next Tudor age begins, 103 miles on horseback from the site of Bosworth Field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – and, sadly for Arsenal, not a Henry to be seen.

New Spurs boss Igor Tudor begins his short-term deal with a North London derby against the Gunners, for whom a midweek bloody nose at Wolverhampton Wanderers has taken the edge off the build-up.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Premier League preview

These bitter rivals might have book-ended the top four in the league phase of the Champions League but their fortunes couldn't be much more different in the Premier League.

Arsenal have left the door open for Manchester City but started the weekend five points clear at the top and with precisely double the number of points Spurs have shambled their way into this season.

If form really does go out of the window on derby day, one rather suspects neither of these Premier League ever-presents would mind too much. Arsenal's dropped points are far from fatal to their title hopes but a win here would be some tonic against minor maladies.

Spurs haven't won a Premier League match in 2026 and manager Thomas Frank paid the price, given his marching orders to be replaced by former Juventus boss Tudor until the end of the season.

Tickets

Tudor's task is to avoid relegation – in truth, the state of the teams below Spurs should see to that – and to take Spurs as far as he can in the knock-out stage of the Champions League.

It's a bizarre situation and one that could easily be embodied by a win over Arsenal to dent their title hopes just for the fun of it.

Mikel Arteta will be guarding against such an outcome. The Arsenal boss will know exactly what Spurs fans want from this game and the lift they'll get from having a new manager in place, and he'll be desperate not to let them have it.

The Gunners won the reverse fixture 4-1 and have beaten Spurs on their last three visits, laying to rest a run of seven away derbies without a win. This one means as much as any of them.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Arsenal

We're bravely predicting a humdinger of a derby and taking the plunge to say Spurs could fail where Wolves succeeded on Wednesday.

All is not well in North London. Arsenal are exhibiting signs of a Premier League title wobble despite being the most consistent team in the division this season, while Spurs are teetering precariously above the drop zone.

Last season's 17th place finish was an embarrassment for a club of Tottenham's stature and it was hoped the arrival of Thomas Frank from Brentford in the summer would herald a return to better days. But, the Dane was unable to steer Spurs clear of trouble and paid the price with his job, just eight months after his appointment.

Following Frank's departure, Spurs moved quickly to appoint an interim head coach ahead of this weekend's North London derby with Arsenal. Igor Tudor has been installed on a temporary basis until the end of the season and the ex-Juventus coach has a job on his hands right from the off.

Tottenham's blueprint to defeat Arsenal this weekend revealed

Arsenal may have drawn each of their last two Premier League matches, including the surrender of a two-goal lead against Championship-bound Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek, but they are still a formidable opponent.

The Gunners remain on course for a first Premier League title in over 20 years and boast one of European football's best-equipped squads.

Spurs, on the other hand, have been poor at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, winning just two of their home league games so far, making this Sunday's fixture an anxiety-inducing one for supporters.

Victory in the North London derby would give Spurs a much-needed shot in the arm and foster support for the largely unknown Tudor in the dugout. Not least, it would help the team claw their way out of a relegation battle which in recent weeks has threatened to absorb them.

Tottenham are likely to see less of the ball, despite being the home side, but this has the potential to play into their hands, particularly as Arsenal's resolve appears to have been shaken lately.

Spurs have scored 10 headed goals in the league this season, which is more than every other side in the division except Chelsea (10) and set-piece kings Arsenal (12).

The Gunners' 16 set-piece goals this term is the most in the league, but Spurs' 13 accounts for over a third of their goal tally, suggesting they are rather adept in this regard. The two teams have conceded seven apiece from set-play situations, which is less than most other sides.

What should Igor Tudor do in the North London derby?

The Croatian should, simply, go back to basics. Spurs have one of the Premier League's best crossers of a ball in Pedro Porro, who is in contention to return from a hamstring injury this weekend and trying to play Arsenal off the park will likely end in disaster.

In Dominic Solanke and Richarlison - depending on if the latter is fit - Spurs have two centre-forwards more than capable of competing well aerially, too.

Arsenal dropped yet more points away to Wolves in midweek, succumbing to Tom Edozie's late, ricocheted equaliser after a mix-up between David Raya and Gabriel. The Gunners pair both challenged for a Mateus Mane cross, getting in each other's way, which presented Edozie with the opportunity to level proceedings in stoppage time. Mikel Arteta's side have now dropped 21 points from winning positions this season.

As a player, Tudor was known for his brawn and instilling that into his new players could go a long way to helping the team secure a result against their arch-rivals.

Furthermore, Arsenal's seven set-piece concessions this season accounts for 35 per cent of the goals they've conceded in the league. Routines are highly coachable and with well over a week between Tudor's appointment and Sunday's fixture, there will have been plenty of time to work on how best to punish the Gunners.

Ironically, Tudor has been handed a timely blueprint on how to defeat Spurs' rivals, by Arsenal themselves. The team buckled under Wolves' late pressure and it was a looping cross which foiled Arteta's best-laid plans to go seven points clear at the top.

Spurs are in limbo after the sacking of first-team head coach Thomas Frank last week.

The club have moved quickly to appoint Igor Tudor as interim boss ahead of the North London Derby versus Arsenal this weekend, but there is great uncertainty over the organisation's long-term direction.

Tottenham sit precariously close to the Premier League's relegation zone, especially for a club. of their stature and resource.

The club's £1 billion, almost 63,000-seater stadium would look somewhat out of place in the second tier and yet if results do not improve over the last dozen games this season, that is precisely where the club could find itself in 2026/27.

Relegated or not, a new report by the Daily Telegraph outlines the likely financial impact of Spurs' poor performance this term.

Due to the team's probable absence from European competition next season, Spurs are expected to face penalties 'into the tens of millions' from their commercial partners.

Additionally, the Telegraph report that some of Spurs' sponsors will be permitted to renegotiate the terms of their existing agreements, which could include early termination, if the club are relegated.

This would leave a significant hole in the club's finances given Tottenham's latest set of accounts revealed sponsorship earnings of £144.5 million for the 2023/24 season.

It is also claimed Spurs are not as attractive as a sponsorship opportunity to non-football brands now the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min no longer represent the club.

To that end, the club are still on the lookout for a lucrative stadium sponsor, six years and 10 months after the arena opened.

Spurs are expected to lose key players this summer with club captain Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven among those who could be poached. Romero has previously voiced his frustration with the Tottenham hierarchy on social media platforms, for which he was not disciplined by recently-departed head coach Frank.

Van de Ven, meanwhile, is likely to be near the top of many teams' centre-back wishlists given Spurs' negotiating position will be weakened by their poor 2025/26 showing and the likely need to raise funds.

Spurs are also needing to plug a potential £30m sponsorship hole before the expiry of their front-of-shirt sponsorship with insurance company AIA. The Hong Kong–based multinational insurance and finance corporation will soon be into the final year of their long-standing sponsorship agreement, believed to be worth £40m per season, before transitioning to a training kit-only sponsor agreement until 2032, worth in the region of £10-15m, according to The Telegraph.

Industry insiders have expressed to the national newspaper the opinion that they do not foresee Spurs attracting a partner with pockets as deep as the Far Eastern company.
