TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FINALLY REACH FULL AGREEMENT TO SIGN DESTINY UDOGIE

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have reached an agreement with Udinese for the capture of prodigious full-back Destiny Udogie. The left-back will cost the north London club over €20 million, while the player will remain with the Serie A club until 2023 on loan. After strengthening their squad significantly during the summer transfer window, Tottenham have made another strong move, albeit keeping the 2023/24 season in mind. Sporting director Fabio Paratici has been keeping an eye on future signings and ways to bring quality reinforcements to the club.

There seems to be a long-term plan at Tottenham, and a few of their signings in important positions indicate the same. The arrival of Djed Spence from Middlesbrough was an excellent move as a solution for the right flank, and they have now acquired a player who could feature on the left-hand side for years to come.

SPURS IN ADVANCED TALKS FOR SPENCE

Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks to sign Djed Spence from Middlesbrough according to Sky Sports News. It was revealed that the England u-21s right-back is closing in on a £20m move to Spurs after snubbing a permanent move to newly promoted Premier League team Nottingham Forest.

21-year-old Spence was an important part of the Nottingham Forest team that won promotion to the Premier League ahead of the new season by beating Huddersfield Town in the Championship playoffs. Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill scored an own goal in the first half to give Nottingham Forest a place in the English top flight for the first time in almost three decades at the expense of the Terriers. Colwill spent the recently concluded campaign on loan at Huddersfield Town from West London giants Chelsea. Continue reading

SPURS SEAL FOURTH SPOT AGAINST NEWCASTLE

Tottenham Hotspur have sealed fourth spot on the Premier League table away from rivals Arsenal on goal difference for at least one week after coming from behind to thrash Newcastle United 5-1 at home on Sunday. Spurs had begun the weekend in fifth spot and three points away from the Gunners, but they were able to draw level with their rivals on the same points plus the advantage of having a better goal difference with the comeback victory over the Magpies to take fourth spot at the expense of Arsenal.

Spurssuffered a setback when they went behind at home to Newcastle United on 39 minutes through a Fabian Schar free-kick after Son Heung-Min tripped former Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock on the edge of the box. The North Londoners were able to bounce back from the setback almost immediately with Welsh defender Ben Davies guiding a header into the back of the Newcastle United net off the cross from Son thus ensuring that the two teams went into the break with a goal apiece. The Tottenham Hotspur equaliser came four minutes after the opening goal from Swiss centre back Schar. Continue reading

SPURS IN TOP-FOUR BID AGAINST SOUTHAMPTON

Tottenham Hotspur are one of several teams in the hunt for a Champions League spot at the end of the season. Only a place in the top four of the Premier League will guarantee Champions League football ahead of next season. Apart from Tottenham Hotspur, clubs such as the London trio of Chelsea, West Ham United and Arsenal are also in the hunt in addition to Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Spurs had the opportunity to boost their top-four credentials when they played hosts to Southampton in a Matchday 24 clash at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night, but they were unable to make an assault on a place in the top four thanks to the 3-2 home defeat to the Saints despite taking the lead on two occasions.

Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in the 18th minute through a Jan Bednarek own goal and the lead was wiped off by an Armando Broja strike five minutes later. Albania national team star Broja is on a season-long loan at Southampton from West London giants Chelsea and he scored the first equaliser for the Saints midway through the first half to ensure that the two teams went into the interval on level terms.

Tottenham Hotspur didn’t take the lead for the second time in the game until the 70th minute when South Korea international Heung-Min Son scored from close range off the cross from Lucas Moura. Southampton players, coaching staff and fans were unhappy that the second Spurs goal was not disallowed for a foul by right-backEmerson Royal on Albanian attacker Broja in the build-up to the goal. Southampton thereafter kept their cool to respond well with two goals in two games in the face of adversity. Norwegian international Mohamed Elyounoussi and Scottish international Che Adams scored for the Saints in the last ten minutes to turn the game on its head and give their team a priceless away win over Spurs.

SPURS PLOTTING TO RE-SIGN MIDFIELDER

North London giants Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing one of their former midfielders ahead of the winter transfer window. This is according to the report from the stables of Spanish media outlet Superdeporte. It was revealed that Spurs are keen on signing Croatian football idol Luka Madrid whom they sold to Spanish La Liga leaders Real Madrid almost a decade ago.

Real Madrid paid £30m to secure the signing of Modric from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2012. Spurs want to re-sign him, but they are not the only Premier League team interested in the player.

Apart from Tottenham Hotspur, new Premier League moneybags Newcastle United are also interested in signing the player though it has been reported that the 2018 Ballond’Or winner prefers Manchester City.Modric won both the Ballon d’Or and the Best FIFA Awards three years after leading unfancied Croatia to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final before they were beaten 4-2 by France. He also won a third successive Champions League title with Real Madrid during the year under review. Modric was named the best player at the end of the Russia 2018 World Cup.

Modric has six months left on his existing Real Madrid deal and he’s free to start negotiating a free transfer move to the Premier League and other foreign leagues as from January. The Croatian football legend is unlikely to move away from Real Madrid in the January transfer window as he will most likely wait till next summer if he’s not offered a new deal at Madrid.

Tottenham Hotspur have a new manager in Italian tactician Antonio Conte and fans would be hoping that he can use his influence to attract quality players such as the 36-year-old Modric who has turned to one of the best midfielders of his generation at Real Madrid in comparison to when he was just a quality player at Spurs around a decade ago.

New Tottenham Hotspurmanager Nuno Espirito Santo is a relieved man after his team stopped the three-match losing run in the Premier League with the 2-1 win at home to Aston Villa at the weekend. Ex-Wolves and Valencia boss Nuno was a man under pressure ahead of the Villa game but the pressure has eased a bit after the victory stopped the run of losing three successive Premier League matches.

Nuno and Tottenham Hotspur won their first three games in the Premier League this season and that run took them to the summit before things fell apart. The 3-1 loss to Arsenal in the North London Derby away from home pushed Spurs into the bottom half of the table. Continue reading

PREMIER LEAGUE: TOTTENHAM MAINTAIN WINNING START

Tottenham Hotspur have maintained their perfect start to the new Premier League campaign under manager NunoEspirito Santo after the 1-0 win over hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs have a new manager in NunoEspirito Santo who moved to the club after his time at Wolves ended at the end of last season. Santo was the Wolves manager for several seasons and he wasthe man who masterminded the midlands club’s return to the top flight three years ago.

Tottenham Hotspur started the season on a positive note after the slim victory over Premier League champions Manchester City and the win was more remarkable as it was achieved without star player Harry Kane who has been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium. Kane is the subject of serious interest from Manchester City. Santo was named the new Tottenham Hotspur manager this summer and he began his managerial reign with a good result against the Citizens with South Korean international Son Heung-Min getting the only goal of the season. His goal came in the second half off the assist from Dutchman Steven Bergwijn.

Manchester City were favourites for the game against Spurs but they were not able to live up to that tag.Tottenham Hotspur made it two wins from two games in the league this season with the slender away victory over Wolves.

Tottenham Hotspur scored the only goal of the game in the first half through England international Dele Alli from the penalty spot. Alliwas successful from the spot after he was brought down by Jose Sa on his home debut. Wolves signed Sa from Greek champions Olympiakos as a replacement for Rui Patricio who left the club to join AS Roma in the Italian Serie A.

Spurs are one of four teams with an unblemished league record in the English top flight this season alongside Liverpool, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Chelsea.

SPURS APPOINT NES AS NEW MANAGER

The long wait for a new manager has ended at Tottenham Hotspur after NunoEspirito Santo (NES) was appointed the new manager. Nuno was confirmed as the new Tottenham Hotspur boss on Wednesday evening and he replaces compatriot Jose Mourinho as the permanent manager at the North London club.

Mourinho was sacked as the Spurs manager in April after a poor run of form in the league on the back of an excellent start to the season. The ex-FC Porto, Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager was relieved of his duties as the Tottenham Hotspur manager around a week before the Capital One final with former midfielder Ryan Mason named as the caretaker boss until the end of the season.
Ironically, Nunowas the backup goalkeeper for Mourinho when he won the Champions League title at FC Porto in Portugal and he has replaced Mourinho in North London. On his part, Mourinho has been named the new manager at Italian Serie A team AS Roma.

Tottenham Hotspur were without a permanent manager for 72 days and they have now appointed Nuno to fill the position after he left fellow Premier League team Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of last season. Nuno ended his four-year spell at the Molineux by mutual consent. He was not on the list of managerial targets until the arrival of new sporting director Fabio Paratici who wanted him last summer while he was at Juventus. Spurs had earlier been turned down by a lot of managers before Nuno accepted the role.

Nuno masterminded Premier League football at Wolves in the early part of his managerial reign as he helped the club win the English Championship title. He then went on to lead the club to two successive top-seven finishes in the Premier League, their highest position since 1980. Nuno and Wolves were in the bottom half of the league last season.

SPURS FACING EUROPEAN FOOTBALL DISAPPOINTMENT

Tottenham Hotspur are in danger of not playing European football in the new season following the defeat at the hands of Aston Villa on Wednesday. The Villa game was their penultimate league match this season.

Spurs needed to win the game against Villa at home to boost their quest to secure a place in the Europa League but their midlands opponentsplayed the role of spoilers despite the fact that they had nothing significant to play for again this season. Villa are at the top of the bottom half on the Premier League standings and they will neither qualify for European nor suffer demotion to the English Championship.

Tottenham Hotspur needed the points more than their opponents in the battle for European football and they made a fantastic start to the game courtesy Dutch international Steven Bergwijn in the opening minutes after he picked the pocket of Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba in the Villa half before unleashing an unstoppable strike that Emiliano Martinez had no chance of saving in the Villa goal.

The North London club took an early lead but could not build on it as Villa recovered from a bad start to level proceedings through a comical own goal from Spanish international Sergio Reguilon off the assist from the abovementioned Zimbabwean international Nakamba as the two teams went into the break on level terms.

Villa completed the 2-1 comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday with the strike from Ollie Watkins in the second half to dent the European ambitions of the North Londoners.

Tottenham Hotspur started the game in sixth place but the defeat ensured that they dropped one place to seventh spot with London rivals West Ham United leapfrogging them into sixth spot with the 3-1 win at West Brom. The two teams have one game to go in the league this season.

Ahead of the final day of the season on Sunday, West Ham have 62 points in sixth, while Spurs are one place below them with 59 points. Sixth place is good enough for an Europa League spot, while seventh place is for the newly introduced European Conference League.

Spurs could miss out on Europe altogether with Everton and North London rivals Arsenal hot on their heels in eighth (59 points) and ninth (58 points) place respectively.
