Tottenham Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou says Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson are both set to be sidelined for a number of weeks through injury. The pair missed Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-2 defeat to Everton on Sunday, with Postecoglou explaining Solanke was absent due to a knee injury sustained in training on Saturday. “It’s a pretty extreme situation, we’ve lost three players, significant players, since the last game and we’ve already got seven or eight out,” Postecoglou said. “Obviously we lost Dom really late yesterday in training, something innocuous, so it’s just...

The major talking points from Goodison Park analysed after Spurs slumped to another bad defeat

Ben Davies is in contention to return for Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Everton on Sunday, but Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma are injury doubts.

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham play in the same gear regardless of the opposition or scoreline — this needs to change

Spurs are closer to the bottom three than the top four after another defeat and Postecoglou did not hold back in his post-match comments

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says his side’s league form “can’t be accepted by anyone at the club” after a 2-1 north London derby defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday. Spurs took the lead through captain Son Heung-min in the 25th minute but an own goal from Dominic Solanke and a strike from Leandro Trossard meant that Arsenal took the lead into half-time and did not relinquish it after the break. Postecoglou lamented his team’s effort after the match. “Not good enough, especially the first half,” he said in his post-match news conference. “Way too passive, allowed...

Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday to move within four points of the top of the Premier League

Richarlison has returned to full fitness and could feature for Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday night’s north London derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Richarlison has struggled with injuries since he joined Spurs from Everton for £60million in July 2022. He missed most of their pre-season tour in Japan and South Korea last summer with a calf problem but came off the bench in their opening two league games. The Brazilian then suffered a setback and made his return as a substitute in a 4-1 victory over West Ham United on October 19. A couple of weeks later, the 27-year-old suffered...

Alfie Dorrington has signed a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur and will spend the rest of the season on loan with Aberdeen. Dorrington joined Tottenham’s academy when he was 13 after spending time in the youth-team set-up of non-League side Cockfosters.

Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham Hotspur will not terminate Timo Werner’s loan early. Werner initially joined Spurs from RB Leipzig on a six-month loan last January and it was extended by a year in the summer. The 28-year-old has struggled in front of goal, scoring just once in 25 appearances in all competitions this season. The forward was substituted at half-time in last month’s 1-1 draw with Rangers in the Europa League and Postecoglou labelled his performance “unacceptable.” Reports had linked Werner with a return to Germany in this transfer window and Postecoglou was asked if he...
