Tottenham have been loading up on center backs in response to woeful defensive performances in the 2022/23 season, in which Spurs squandered a brilliant campaign from Harry Kane and didn't even qualify for the Champions League. The defensive upgrades have paid off. Micky van de Ven has been excellent since joining this summer, and winter signing Radu Dragusin from Genoa looks like a quality defender, too. Tottenham aren't going to stop there, though. Lately, the North London-based outfit have been showing considerable interest in Serie A star Alessandro Buongiorno, who has been one of the biggest breakout stars at the position in Europe. Chelsea, Newcastle, and other Premier League sides have been linked to the Torino star, as Buongiorno could follow in the footsteps of current Ju...

Tottenham received a humbling result at the hands of Newcastle on the road, causing some pundits to call their Champions League legitimacy into question. Despite the defeat, Spurs are very much still in the running for a top-four place in the Premier League, and it was only a matter of weeks ago that the rebounding North London side blew out the current fourth-placed team, Aston Villa. Tottenham are clearly a club on the rise under new manager Ange Postecoglou, who has benefited from a host of new faces who rank among the best players in the league at their positions. Guglielmo Vicario has been a star in goal (as any Serie A observer expected), James Maddison was a legitimate Premier League Player of the Season candidate before his injury, and Micky van de Ven has been a star desp...

Tottenham have been impressive throughout the 2023/24 season and are in the thick of the race for a Champions League place, with only Aston Villa truly in their way in fourth place. However, Spurs suffered a major letdown on Saturday in an important test against one of last season's top-four teams, Newcastle United. The Magpies had a disappointing start to the 2023/24 campaign but are roaring back into European contention, and smart money would bet on them finishing above Manchester United. By destroying Tottenham 4-0 at St. James's Park, Newcastle have indeed made the statement that they are capable of rising and maybe even challenging for the Champions League, too, by the end of the season. Tottenham had a meltdown against Newcastle As for Tottenham, this was the definition of...

Tottenham have become a legitimate Champions League contender in the Premier League again, one season after finishing eighth and failing to qualify for any sort of European football. Spurs missed out on European football despite Harry Kane scoring 30 goals for them and creating a substantial number of chances (1.5 key passes per game). Now that Kane is gone and already breaking records in the Bundesliga, though, Spurs are actually better off, and that's thanks to the improvements they have made tactically and with their personnel under new manager Ange Postecoglou. In order to push for more and even content for the Premier League title under Postecoglou's leadership, Tottenham will need to make more smart signings on the transfer market. Here are five players Tottenham could si...

After demolishing Aston Villa last weekend 4-0 in a pivotal battle for a Champions League place, Tottenham were on the wrong side of a blowout defeat this Saturday afternoon at the Craven Cottage, losing 3-0 in the Premier League to a side ranked seven spots below them in the table. Here were the five worst individual performances for Spurs from this humbling loss on the road. CM Pape Sarr Pape Sarr's stats vs. Fulham Pape Sarr may have been the worst player on the pitch, as he was part of the reason why Tottenham were so badly overrun by Fulham in the middle of the park. The 21-year-old did put in a shift defensively, but he was so poor on the ball, creating literally nothing for his teammates while failing to effectively progress possession for Spurs. Sarr completed a ghast...
