Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Tottenham

Dejan Kulusevski was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Nobody could get near Mateus Fernandes

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Guglielmo Vicario

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Tottenham against Nottingham Forest

1‑2 to Nottingham Forest, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Jan Paul van Hecke falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Doors closed at Tottenham

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad14 Sep 2026

James Wilson is the weekend's best young player

At 19 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Wilson Odobert changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Tottenham had a different afternoon.

Market14 Sep 2026

The Florin Iancu question follows Tottenham around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Florin Iancu’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ben Davies asks to leave Tottenham

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market24 Aug 2026

Tottenham say no — this time

The offer from Bayer Leverkusen for Antonín Kinský was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tottenham

Sandro Tonali was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Tottenham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jan Paul van Hecke is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Dejan Kulusevski runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Tottenham supporters have found a favourite in Xavi Simons

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Xavi Simons has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match22 Aug 2026

Tottenham find a way past Aston Villa

Aston Villa made Tottenham work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Xavi Simons

7.99, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Tottenham had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Market24 Aug 2026

Milton Keynes Dons expected to open talks for Pape Matar Sarr

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Tottenham will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market3 Aug 2026

Tottenham turn down Ajax for Richarlison

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ben Davies has been here 11 seasons

313 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market3 Aug 2026

Tottenham may not be able to give Cristian Romero what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Cristian Romero wants continental football; whether Tottenham can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Market3 Aug 2026

Guglielmo Vicario raises the bar for Tottenham

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Tottenham heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jan Paul van Hecke signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jan Paul van Hecke and Tottenham agree another 4 years.
