Spurs’ season has been no better than previous ones, with the Lilywhites sitting in 11th place as they enter the new year. While fans and pundits may point fingers at the Australian manager, the real issue behind Tottenham’s struggles is their injury crisis. With nearly nine players sidelined, the team is suffering with a significant lack of depth.
As a result, Spurs are preparing for a crucial January transfer window, one that could prove to be make or break for Ange Postecoglou and his hopes of salvaging the 2024/25 campaign.
Despite the disappointing results in 2024 especially the humiliating loss, the club’s board knows they must support the manager with reinforcements during the winter window.
Tottenham are looking to strengthen the centre-forward position. The club’s goal is to sign a reliable striker to offer both support and strong competition for Dominic Solanke. Richarlison was expected to fill this role, but the Brazilian has battled with injuries and, even when available, has failed to live up to his £60m price tag, delivering underwhelming performances on the pitch.
Tottenham get the green light to pursue Evan Ferguson
Reports from sources of TEAMtalk have advised keeping an eye on Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, who could become a key target for Tottenham as the January transfer window approaches. Brighton have made the Irish international available for loan, and sources suggest Ferguson is eager for the chance to play in London. The player is also motivated by the prospect of joining a bigger club.
At just 20 years old, Ferguson has already gained valuable Premier League experience and is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in football. With 59 Premier League appearances to his name, most of his game time this season has come as a substitute, as manager Fabian Hurzeler has preferred to start Danny Welbeck or Joao Pedro. Though Ferguson has dealt with injuries over the past year, his long list of potential suitors is undeterred, with many keen to secure a loan deal with Brighton in January.
Sources indicate that Tottenham are interested in bringing him in but are hesitant to develop another team’s player without an option or obligation to buy. As such, Spurs are only likely to proceed with a move if they can include such terms in any loan agreement.
