Spurs head to the Parc des Princes tonight with an element of trepidation following their woeful display at Arsenal on Sunday. Thomas Frank's side were beaten 4-1 at the Emirates by their North London rivals and must now try to bounce back at the home of the European champions.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the attacking unit during the January transfer window. They are looking to sign a quality striker and a wide player. Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani are currently sidelined with injuries. Richarlison has been inconsistent, and Xavi Simons is still adapting to the Premier League. Tottenham are struggling in the attacking unit, and they need to improve in that area. They will be hoping to finish in the top four and fight for trophies as well.
According to Opta, Spurs are fourth for goals scored but fourth from bottom in expected goals. They have scored 20 times from an xG of 11.2, meaning they have scored about nine more than the average team would have, from the shots they have taken this season. Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea have also over-performed their xG, but to a far lesser degree.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of Lautaro Rivero. The 22-year-old is highly rated in Argentina, and he could develop into a key player for the North London outfit. They want him to start alongside his compatriot Cristian Romero. The player has done quite well for River Plate, but he is valued at 100 million. It is unlikely that Tottenham will be able to afford him at that price. River Plate will have to be more reasonable
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking unit in the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk, they are looking to bring in a couple of attacking players, and they have identified Antoine Semenyo and Samu Aghehowa as targets. The report claims that the two players could cost around 140 million combined. Thomas Frank reportedly dreams of improving his attacking unit with the two players. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done.
I don't see any move (away from Napoli for McTominay) in January, and in all honestly, I think it'll be very difficult to prise him away from Napoli. He's a key man for Antonio Conte's side, he proved that last season with 12 goals as he was named MVP in Serie A. His transformation has been unbelievable since he left Manchester United. He now looks like a huge loss to United, and a lot of people will be questioning why they let him go.
Ruben Neves to return to England? Neves has played in the Premier League before with Wolves, and he will be able to settle quickly and make an instant impact. The opportunity to join Manchester United or Tottenham will be exciting for him. They are among the biggest clubs in the country, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies.
Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid are among the clubs in Europe keeping close tabs on the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are yet to make progress on a potential contract renewal for the 25-year-old as they are unwilling to continue his current €12m-per-season deal, but would be open to signing him to an extension on a reduced salary.
The 21-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has done well in Germany. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for both clubs. Liverpool need a quality central defender, especially with Ibrahima Konate expected to leave the club at the end of the season. His contract expires in the summer of 2026, and he has not signed an extension with the club.
Lewis pleaded guilty in January 2024, saying he knew that sharing nonpublic information, which he had learned from corporate boardrooms about publicly traded companies, with others who then bought stock in those companies was wrong. At the time of the plea, he was free on $300 million bail. According to prosecutors and an indictment, Lewis shared the secrets with friends, employees and romantic interests from 2019 to 2021, urging them to profit from the tips.
He's probably the one and only untouchable player in that squad right now. They need to keep him and Jarrod will be looking to build his team around him. He's on a long-term contract until 2030, so it's not like West Ham are under any real pressure to sell Jarrod Bowen as well. But, no surprise that clubs will be looking at him. Tottenham, Liverpool because even in that struggling side, he still scores goals and he's a proven Premier League player.
When the final whistle finally blew at Hayes Lane on Sunday, there was a sense that something had shifted in the perception of London City Lionesses. Their thrilling 4-2 win over Tottenham felt like not merely three points but a watershed moment in London City's debut Women's Super League campaign. It meant they climbed to the top half of the table with four wins in eight matches.
Frank, though, dropped both to the bench here. Djed Spence came in at left-back and Richarlison started on the wing in front of him. It seemed like a case of Frank thinking more about how to nullify United than how to trouble them. Spence was there to keep Amad Diallo quiet but the United winger provided the cross for the opening goal.
