Every Tottenham star who could be at 2026 World Cup, including rarely-seen player
Tottenham are set to be well-represented at the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The November international saw many Tottenham players depart to link up with their countries for various qualifiers and friendly clashes.
Thomas Frank will have had an eye on all his players, especially with Tottenham’s clash away to Arsenal in the Premier League pipeline.
That didn’t stop national stars from giving their all for their country, although someone like Djed Spence was totally unused for England under Thomas Tuchel.
Spence’s Three Lions have already qualified for the World Cup in America, Mexico and Canada, but which other Tottenham Hotspur Stadium regulars could feature at the World Cup next summer?
All Tottenham players who could play at the 2026 World Cup
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn faced off in Tottenham during the international break as White Hart Lane was utilised for a huge event once again.
The second instalment of this boxing clash is said to have been watched by over a million people worldwide, but that doesn’t even scratch the surface of the World Cup.
An average of 571 million people are said to have watched the final in Qatar as Argentina secured the title in 2022.
This is what makes the World Cup the greatest event in sport, and as a result, every single player dreams of playing in it.
Tottenham fans will be delighted to learn that they will likely watch a large number of Spurs players at the upcoming edition, even before the qualification play-offs have been played.
All Tottenham players who could go to the World Cup:
- Djed Spence – England
- Dominic Solanke – England
- Randal Kolo Muani – France
- Joao Palhinha – Portugal
- Micky van de Ven – Netherlands
- Xavi Simons – Netherlands
- Pedro Porro – Spain
- Cristian Romero – Argentina
- Richarlison – Brazil
- Mohammed Kudus – Ghana
- Pape Sarr – Senegal
- Kota Takai – Japan
Some hugely recognisable names will take centre stage away from North London, while others may be dark horses to make their respective squads.
Dominic Solanke may have an eye on the England camp despite his current injury woes, while Kota Takai is suffering from a similar issue.
Kota Takai could land Japan squad spot at 2026 World Cup
There may be more Spurs players on the plane to North America in the summer, should the likes of Wales, Italy, Romania or Sweden qualify through the play-offs.
This could add a further five names to a lengthy list of Tottenham representatives at the greatest show on earth in 2026.
Tottenham players who could feature in World Cup qualifier play-offs:
- Ben Davies – Wales
- Brennan Johnson – Wales
- Destiny Udogie – Italy
- Radu Dragusin – Romania
- Lucas Bergvall – Sweden
There will be interest if these players do manage to get through to the final tournament, but there will certainly be eyes on Takai if he is to feature.
The Japan international joined Spurs from Kawasaki Frontale in the summer, but has been rarely seen and is yet to feature due to injury this campaign.
Should he return in the coming weeks, he could put together a positive run of form to stake a claim for a World Cup spot.
