Thomas Tuchel update emerges at Tottenham
The English contingent at the North London outfit will certainly want to impress the German as the Three Lions finally enter a new era.
James Maddison and Dominic Solanke will want to make a case for themselves to be involved in the upcoming fixtures for their country.
The next international break will arrive at the end of March, with World Cup Qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
Maddison wasn’t involved in the Euro 2024 squad despite an impressive 2023/24 campaign at Tottenham and will undoubtedly want to play a key part for Tuchel’s team in the future.
Solanke has only recently established himself in the Three Lions setup.
The Lilywhites are struggling a bit this season, and the English duo will need to step up to pop up on the German’s radar.
Spurs need more creativity from their midfielder and need to be able to rely on their striker to find the back of the net consistently.
Ange Postecoglou will hope that Tuchel’s presence will give Maddison and Solanke extra motivation to showcase their full potential against Eddie Howe’s team.
