Tottenham Hotspur are heading into a highly uncertain period in the coming months, both in terms of transfers and their performances on the pitch. Spurs are currently fighting to avoid relegation from the Premier League and sit just one point above the drop zone in 16th place.
Manager Igor Tudor has faced a difficult start to his time in charge since being appointed last month, losing all three matches he has overseen so far.
Tottenham return to action on Tuesday night when they take on Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League before travelling to face Liverpool FC in the league a few days later.
With uncertainty surrounding their on-field situation, Spurs are also looking ahead to the summer transfer window. The club’s plans may largely depend on whether they are playing Premier League or EFL Championship football next season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Among the latest developments, Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has been linked with a potential move to Newcastle United ahead of the summer window. According to reports, Newcastle are evaluating their striker options for next season and have identified Solanke as a possible target. However, Tottenham are reportedly eager to keep the forward, even if the club ends up being relegated.
Newcastle’s interest may also be influenced by the future of their current striker William Osula, who is said to be attracting attention from Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, speculation has also begun about who could replace Tudor as manager in the future. Former Juventus FC boss Thiago Motta is reportedly being considered by Tottenham as a potential candidate.
Tudor’s contract with Spurs runs until the end of the season, and reports suggest Motta is among the names being discussed for the role from the summer onward. He is also believed to be competing with former Olympique de Marseille and Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi for the position.
Motta previously managed Juventus until March last year, and he was later replaced by Tudor, who himself remained in that role until October.
