Sportivo Belgrano Overview

Tottenham will be a Premier League side next season, but an important summer transfer window awaits and Alan Hutton has told GOAL the “one guy they have to keep” to stand any chance of becoming a ‘Big Six’ team again. The Spurs squad that starts next season is expected to be markedly different to the one that dragged itself over the relegation avoidance line in 2025-26.

The 2025-26 Premier League campaign drew to a tense conclusion on Sunday, as Tottenham scraped past Everton to consign West Ham to relegation in spite of a 3-0 victory over Leeds United. Meanwhile, in the north-east of England, Sunderland sensationally defeated Chelsea to secure a place in the Europa League, while simultaneously preventing the Club World Cup winners from qualifying for any form of continental competition next term.

Roberto De Zerbi has wasted no time in beginning a ruthless post-mortem of Tottenham’s disastrous campaign, despite securing Premier League survival on the final day. The Italian tactician delivered a stinging assessment of his current squad, suggesting that only a small core of players are actually at the level required for the club.

Micky van de Ven has expressed his immense frustration at Tottenham's disastrous campaign after the club narrowly avoided Premier League relegation on the final day. Despite Roberto De Zerbi masterminding a miraculous survival, the stand-in captain branded their domestic season as entirely "unacceptable" and "embarrassing" for a squad packed with talent.
