Tottenham news

Barcelona and Real Madrid have been warned off a move for Harry Kane, who has a £57 million ($77m) release clause in his contract at Bayern Munich, as they would be spending “dead money”. Michael Owen has explained to GOAL why the England international striker “gave away his aces too cheaply” when leaving Tottenham and the Premier League in 2023.

Thomas Frank has explained why he was bizarrely spotted drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth. The Dane, who is already seeing his position in north London called into question, risked incurring further the wrath of disgruntled supporters when being seen strolling around the Vitality Stadium with a drink that promoted Spurs’ fiercest rivals.

Antoine Semenyo delivered the perfect parting gift to Bournemouth fans ahead of his move to Manchester City later this week. The departing Cherries star rifled home a 95th-minute winner against Tottenham with what could prove to be his final touch for the club, topping off what was an electric and unpredictable evening on the south coast under the lights.

Joao Palhinha scored his second overhead kick of the season as Tottenham ultimately fell to a late defeat at Bournemouth on Wednesday night. Palhinha thought he'd rescued a point with a superb strike at the Vitality Stadium in midweek only for Antoine Semenyo to win it late on for the Cherries on what is expected to be his final game for the south coast side ahead of his move to Manchester City.

We reached the midway point of the Premier League season on Thursday night, with Arsenal holding a very promising four-point advantage at the top of the table as the Gunners look to end an agonising, 22-year title drought, and their chances of doing so have only increased after Saturday's hard-fought win at Bournemouth. Of course, Manchester City are very dangerous chasers - as Arsenal know to their considerable cost - and Aston Villa will obviously be hoping to stay in touch even after their chastening 4-1 defeat at the Emirates on Tuesday.

Premier League clubs face unusual kick-off times this weekend, as the New Year's schedule continues apace. Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are all in action on Sunday, with 3pm kick-offs being aired live on television. GOAL can explain why the kick-off times are out of the ordinary as the year of 2026 gets underway.

Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson has completed his £35m transfer to Crystal Palace, barely half a year after scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final. The Wales international was a key part of Ange Postecoglou's team but has fallen out of favour under new manager Thomas Frank. Johnson now gets the opportunity to revive his career at Selhurst Park, with the Eagles currently ahead of Spurs in the Premier League table in tenth position.

Tottenham fans continue to vent their anger in the direction of head coach Thomas Frank, with disgruntled supporters chanting “we want our money back” during a “boring” goalless draw with Brentford. Frank took a point off his former employers, when returning to familiar surroundings, but is facing plenty of uncomfortable questions regarding his tenure in north London.

Premier League clubs splashed out £3 billion ($4bn) on transfers in a record-breaking summer window, more than those in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A combined, with Liverpool accounting for £415m ($561m) of that eye-watering amount on the back of their 2024-25 title success under Arne Slot. Mega-money was also spent by the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Fulham the only three clubs to invest less than £50m ($67m) in strengthening their respective squads.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson is undergoing a medical at Crystal Palace as his £33.5 million ($45m) transfer edges closer. Johnson has failed to nail down a starting place at Spurs this season under new head coach Thomas Frank and he is set to leave the club after two-and-a-half seasons in north London.

Roma reportedly have two Premier League defenders on their recruitment radar for the January transfer window, with raids on Chelsea and Tottenham being planned. The Serie A giants are eager to reinforce at the back and believe that Axel Disasi and Radu Dragusin, who have been enduring tough times in London, could be shrewd additions at Stadio Olimpico.
