Sources have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur is working on a deal to bring in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner on loan during the ongoing January transfer window. With the London-based side suffering from an array of injuries, manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly looking to bolster his squad.

While James Maddison remains unavailable through injury, Son Heung-Min will be unavailable for the month due to competing in the Asian Cup for South Korea. Werner, who moved to Leipzig from Chelsea for €20 million in August 2022, has seen his playing time significantly reduced this season, scoring two goals in eight appearances.

Having struggled to make an impact at Chelsea during his two-year spell at Stamford Bridge, Werner will hope to improve his fortunes upon his return to the Premier League. Still, he will have to compete with the likes of Richarlison, Son, Dejan Kulusevski, and Brennan Johnson for a spot in the starting XI.

LAFC are in advanced talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the transfer of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, sources revealed on Thursday. The former Spurs captain, who is in the last year of his contract, has not played a single minute of the current season under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou, who was appointed Spurs coach ahead of the current season, has favored Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, whom he signed from Empoli during the summer for £17.2 million ($21.9m). This brings an end to Lloris’s long-standing position as the Spurs’ number one shot-stopper, soon establishing himself as the first-choice keeper following his arrival at the club in 2012.

Although the French 2018 World Cup winner received offers to leave the club from Lazio, Nice, and clubs in the Saudi Pro League, he decided to remain at Spurs in the hopes of clinching a spot in the starting lineup. Lloris was appointed Spurs captain in the 2015-16 season before Postecoglou replaced him with Son Heung-Min this season.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min criticized his team for being too “soft” after they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to West Ham United. With this loss, Spurs made history by becoming the first Premier League team to drop points after taking the lead in five consecutive matches.

“We lost the game which is unacceptable,” Son remarked. “You get the lead five times in a row and losing the game I think is unacceptable and as players we should take responsibility. West Ham have always been tough to play against but look we were soft. Especially in the Premier League, even if you are winning 2-0, 3-0, you don’t know what will happen in the end.”

Spurs sprung into the lead after 11 minutes of play when defender Christian Romero found the back of the net with a glancing header. While the home team continued to dominate the game for the rest of the first half, they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities; a shortcoming that they would ultimately regret.

Despite remaining on the backfoot, the Hammers proved opportunistic, with Jarred Bowen and James Ward-Prowse both finding the back of the net to hand West Ham the unlikely win.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Fulham 2-0 on Monday night in order to reach the summit of the Premier League table. With a two-point buffer at the top of the table, this is Spurs’ best start to the league season in over 60 years.

“It was a good result because Fulham are a tough team to break down,” Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said after the game. “You have to respect the game and if you are off it a little bit it can drag you down. We took a few liberties which I wasn’t very happy with. It was our worst 45 minutes with the ball.”

Postecoglou was unhappy with the way that his lineup conducted themselves in the second half. The first half saw an energetic performance by the home team, with Son Heung-Min scoring the opener in the 36th minute. While James Maddison doubled the Spurs’ lead in the 54th minute, it was a largely muted second-half performance where Spurs displayed a relatively low-energy performance.

Tottenham Hotspur found their new manager after a lengthy search that started back in March with the firing of Antonio Conte. And it is not a high-profile name that you might expect from a club of Tottenham’s stature.

The London club opted for an unconventional route by hiring Celtic’s manager Ange Postecoglou. The Australian will take over in July after inking a four-year deal.

Initially, Tottenham was linked with a number of big names, including Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and their former boss Mauricio Pochettino. The club then seemed close to hiring Feyenoord’s Arne Slot, but the Dutchman surprisingly snubbed them in favor of a new deal with the Eredivisie side.

After missing out on their preferred targets, the Spurs turned to Postecoglo, being impressed with the job he has done in Scotland. Postecoglou coached the Celtic for the past two seasons and won five out of six available domestic trophies, including two Scottish Premiership titles.

“Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play,” said Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy in a statement. “He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy — everything that is important to our club. We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead.”

While unknown to casual soccer fans, Ange Postecoglou has a rich managerial career that dates back to 1996. He previously managed a number of Australian clubs, led Australia’s national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and Yokohama F. Marinos before taking over Celtic.

It is unusual for teams to get rid of their interim head coach, especially this late in the season. But that didn’t stop Tottenham Hotspur from firing interim boss Cristian Stellini on Monday.

Stellini is out after Tottenham suffered an embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday. The 48-year-old Italian took over on a temporary basis in late March after the club mutually agreed to part ways with Antonio Conte. Stellini was in charge for four games, recording one win, one tie, and two losses.

Tottenham announced Stellini’s departure through a statement issued by Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy. According to Levy, the team will be helmed by assistant Ryan Mason for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.

“Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable. It was devastating to see. We can look at many reasons why it happened, and whilst myself, the Board, the coaches and players must all take collective responsibility, ultimately the responsibility is mine, “said Levy in the statement.

Tottenham has endured a disappointing season that will most likely see them miss out on the UEFA Championship League spot. The London club is currently at No. 5 in Premier League, finding themselves six points behind Manchester United at No. 4 while playing two games more.

The club is currently believed to be in the midst of a search for a permanent manager to take over the club in the summer. Several names have been linked with the job, including ex-Barcelona and Spain head coach Luis Enrique and former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann.

New Tottenham Hotspur interim coach Cristian Stellini has assured that the club is not facing a crisis following the departure of head coach Antonio Conte. While he admitted that Spurs endured a rocky 48 hours following Conte’s dismissal, Stellini insists that the club is in a stable predicament.

“It is not a club in crisis, absolutely not because everyone took the decision for the best,” Stellini claimed. “When you follow the process, you are not in crisis and if we have some matters, we have to be compact, we have to stick together, go ahead, continue to move on and play the match.”

Conte’s departure from the club came after he delivered a controversial news conference on March 18 when he criticized the club’s ownership as well as the attitude of the players after the team let slip a 3-1 lead against Southampton to draw 3-3. The Italian manager subsequently left the club by way of mutual consent.

Stellini joined Spurs as Conte’s assistant in November 2021 at the same time that Conte replaced previous manager Nuno Espirito Santo. He now has the job of helping Spurs hold onto fourth place in the Premier League, thereby securing Champions League qualification next season.

Antonio Conte has stepped down from his role as manager of Tottenham Hotspur by way of mutual consent, the club announced on Sunday. Conte’s assistant coach, Cristian Stellini, will fill the role of acting head coach until the end of the season.

Conte’s departure comes 16 months after he joined the North London club. The Italian achieved notable success in his first season with the club, clinching fourth place in the Premier League to qualify for this season’s UEFA Champions League. This season has been a problematic one for Spurs, however, with the team being eliminated from all cup competitions and Conte’s relationship with the club souring on all fronts.

Prior to his resignation, Conte delivered a scathing criticism of the club in a press conference, directed at both the players and the club’s ownership.

“Tottenham’s story is this: 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?” Conte commented. “The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stays here? I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment.”

Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier League and are in contention to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte lashed out at his players as well as the club’s ownership following his team’s frustrating 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

While Spurs were 3-1 up with 15 minutes left on the clock, the home team launched an unlikely comeback, with Theo Walcott scoring in the 77th minute before James Ward-Prowse leveled the scores with a 93rd-minute penalty.

Conte criticized his players’ mentality during the game, as well as their failure to shut out Southampton in what should have been a comfortable win over the team at the bottom of the Premier League table.

“Instead we showed this another time, things started to improve last season but we lost the characteristic of last season. I don’t want to talk about the technical aspect, the spirit is missing,” Conte explained, adding that his team has failed to perform to the best of their abilities throughout the season.

“We are not a team. We are a team that everyone is thinking of himself. When you are in this way that can happen, you lose against Sheffield United and drop the FA Cup and with AC Milan and to finish that run you’re winning 3-1 and the last 15 you are able to give them the possibility to come back. I don’t see the sense of responsibility of the players,” Conte continued.

Currently in 4th place in the Premier League standings, Tottenham has played two more games than Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Brighton, putting their Champions League qualification hopes in jeopardy.

Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the Champions League after a goalless draw with AC Milan during the second leg of their round of 16 clash on Wednesday night. AC Milan progressed due to winning 1-0 in the first leg at the San Siro.

Following the defeat, Spurs have lost the opportunity to win a trophy this season, having already been eliminated from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and falling out of the title race in the Premier League. This means that the North London club’s wait for silverware will be extended to 15 years.

Conte admitted that he believes that his future as Spurs coach is uncertain following the defeat. He also spoke of the possibility that he could be dismissed from the role before the end of the season.

“I continue to work, I have a contract with Tottenham,” Conte explained, “I respect the contract. At the end of the season, assessments will be made with the club in the most serene way. Let’s see how the season ends. Maybe they can send me away even earlier. Perhaps the expectations were higher and may be disappointed. What matters for a coach is trying to work and raise the bar. This year we are struggling to raise the bar.”

Tottenham Hotspur found their new manager after a lengthy search that started back in March with the firing of Antonio Conte. And it is not a high-profile name that you might expect from a club of Tottenham’s stature.

The London club opted for an unconventional route by hiring Celtic’s manager Ange Postecoglou. The Australian will take over in July after inking a four-year deal.

Initially, Tottenham was linked with a number of big names, including Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and their former boss Mauricio Pochettino. The club then seemed close to hiring Feyenoord’s Arne Slot, but the Dutchman surprisingly snubbed them in favor of a new deal with the Eredivisie side.

It is unusual for teams to get rid of their interim head coach, especially this late in the season. But that didn’t stop Tottenham Hotspur from firing interim boss Cristian Stellini on Monday.

Stellini is out after Tottenham suffered an embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday. The 48-year-old Italian took over on a temporary basis in late March after the club mutually agreed to part ways with Antonio Conte. Stellini was in charge for four games, recording one win, one tie, and two losses.

New Tottenham Hotspur interim coach Cristian Stellini has assured that the club is not facing a crisis following the departure of head coach Antonio Conte. While he admitted that Spurs endured a rocky 48 hours following Conte’s dismissal, Stellini insists that the club is in a stable predicament.

“It is not a club in crisis, absolutely not because everyone took the decision for the best,” Stellini claimed. “When you follow the process, you are not in crisis and if we have some matters, we have to be compact, we have to stick together, go ahead, continue to move on and play the match.”

Conte’s departure from the club came after he delivered a controversial news conference on March 18 when he criticized the club’s ownership as well as the attitude of the players after the team let slip a 3-1 lead against Southampton to draw 3-3. The Italian manager subsequently left the club by way of mutual consent.

Stellini joined Spurs as Conte’s assistant in November 2021 at the same time that Conte replaced previous manager Nuno Espirito Santo. He now has the job of helping Spurs hold onto fourth place in the Premier League, thereby securing Champions League qualification next season.

Antonio Conte has stepped down from his role as manager of Tottenham Hotspur by way of mutual consent, the club announced on Sunday. Conte’s assistant coach, Cristian Stellini, will fill the role of acting head coach until the end of the season.

Conte’s departure comes 16 months after he joined the North London club. The Italian achieved notable success in his first season with the club, clinching fourth place in the Premier League to qualify for this season’s UEFA Champions League. This season has been a problematic one for Spurs, however, with the team being eliminated from all cup competitions and Conte’s relationship with the club souring on all fronts.

Prior to his resignation, Conte delivered a scathing criticism of the club in a press conference, directed at both the players and the club’s ownership.

“Tottenham’s story is this: 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?” Conte commented. “The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stays here? I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment.”

Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier League and are in contention to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte lashed out at his players as well as the club’s ownership following his team’s frustrating 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

While Spurs were 3-1 up with 15 minutes left on the clock, the home team launched an unlikely comeback, with Theo Walcott scoring in the 77th minute before James Ward-Prowse leveled the scores with a 93rd-minute penalty.

Conte criticized his players’ mentality during the game, as well as their failure to shut out Southampton in what should have been a comfortable win over the team at the bottom of the Premier League table.

“Instead we showed this another time, things started to improve last season but we lost the characteristic of last season. I don’t want to talk about the technical aspect, the spirit is missing,” Conte explained, adding that his team has failed to perform to the best of their abilities throughout the season.

“We are not a team. We are a team that everyone is thinking of himself. When you are in this way that can happen, you lose against Sheffield United and drop the FA Cup and with AC Milan and to finish that run you’re winning 3-1 and the last 15 you are able to give them the possibility to come back. I don’t see the sense of responsibility of the players,” Conte continued.

Currently in 4th place in the Premier League standings, Tottenham has played two more games than Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Brighton, putting their Champions League qualification hopes in jeopardy.

Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the Champions League after a goalless draw with AC Milan during the second leg of their round of 16 clash on Wednesday night. AC Milan progressed due to winning 1-0 in the first leg at the San Siro.

Following the defeat, Spurs have lost the opportunity to win a trophy this season, having already been eliminated from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and falling out of the title race in the Premier League. This means that the North London club’s wait for silverware will be extended to 15 years.

Conte admitted that he believes that his future as Spurs coach is uncertain following the defeat. He also spoke of the possibility that he could be dismissed from the role before the end of the season.

“I continue to work, I have a contract with Tottenham,” Conte explained, “I respect the contract. At the end of the season, assessments will be made with the club in the most serene way. Let’s see how the season ends. Maybe they can send me away even earlier. Perhaps the expectations were higher and may be disappointed. What matters for a coach is trying to work and raise the bar. This year we are struggling to raise the bar.”
