Tottenham news round-up: ‘Emery to replace Postecoglou’, Udogie injury update
Ange Postecoglou’s future has been shrouded in uncertainty as Tottenham continue to suffer on and off the pitch.
Spurs have been knocked out of the EFL Cup and FA Cup in the space of three days, leaving them with just the Europa League to fight for, and possibly for the manager to keep his job.
Climbing the Premier League table is always a must for a club like Spurs, but with the team sitting in 14th, most supporters are looking down at the teams above them rather than looking at the top half of the table.
Here, Tottenham News takes a look at some of the most recent updates.
Son Heung-min future thrown into doubt after transfer news
According to Sabah, Fenerbahce have enquired about Son’s willingness to join the Turkish giants before the winter transfer window slams shut in Turkey.
Jose Mourinho‘s side are willing to splash the cash on the 32-year-old, though Spurs rejected the approach very quickly, with no plans to sanction a move for the South Korean.
Fabio Paratici want Simone Inzaghi appointment
Fabio Paratici is attempting to convince Daniel Levy to appoint Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi, as per Inter Live, with the figure’s current deal expiring in 2026.
Inzaghi is seen as an ideal successor to Postecoglou, whose role at Hotspur Way is increasingly in doubt, but Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva remain in the picture in North London.
Destiny Udogie injury update emerges ahead of Manchester United clash
Injuries have been a major issue in North London this season, with the likes of Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Guglielmo Vicario, and also Udogie missing on a long-term basis.
Supporters have been incredibly frustrated with results, and with Manchester United up next, Postecoglou has finally been handed some positive news ahead of Sunday 16 February.
Udogie is back available from a hamstring injury, according to Tom Barclay, who is hopeful of facing the Red Devils when Ruben Amorim’s side visit Hotspur Way.
Aston Villa blow as Unai Emery to Tottenham odds revealed
According to the bookmakers, and specifically BetVictor, the Aston Villa boss’ odds of becoming Postecoglou’s successor have dropped to 14/1 following the scenes at Villa Park.
The Lilywhites were knocked out of the FA Cup by the Villans on Sunday 9 February, with Mathys Tel’s goal in added time not enough to overturn a two-goal deficit.
It could only be a matter of time before Levy finally pulls the trigger in North London, and despite his links with Arsenal, Emery is seemingly in the running for the job.
