Tottenham hit the panic button and look at signing new player after the brutal Newcastle loss.
The big Tottenham call facing Ange Postecoglou this week and two further transfer possibilities
Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest discuss the Europa League squad decision facing Ange Postecoglou this week on the latest episode of their Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast
It won’t be long at all until Tottenham are back on the pitch in a European fixture. Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side discovered their Europa League schedule on Saturday evening following the draw in Monaco just over 24 hours earlier.
The Lilywhites start off the newly-formed league phase on Thursday, September 26 with a home showdown against Qarabag before travelling to Ferencvaros the following week. Home matches against AZ Alkmaar and Roma are on the agenda either side of a daunting trip to Galatasaray, with an away game at Scottish giants Rangers the team’s final European fixture of 2024.
The expansion of UEFA’s club competitions means that Tottenham’s league phase fixtures continue into January, seeing them travel to Hoffenheim on Thursday, January 23 a week before their final encounter at home to Swedish side Elfsborg. Spurs supporters are now counting down the days until the first European away trip of the season in what could be a big year for the team in Europe.
Prior to commencing their Europa League campaign, Postecoglou must first name his European squad as Spurs are only permitted to name 25 players on List A before the deadline of 11pm on Tuesday, September 3. The north London club are in a position where they will have to leave a player out and that in turn is going to leave Postecoglou with a big call to make.
A few more deadlines are coming up for Tottenham over the next week or so as there is still the possibility of a transfer move for Sergio Reguilon and potentially even a late loan switch for Alfie Devine. Seeing the summer transfer window close for business in Netherlands, Portugal and Saudi Arabia on Monday, the windows in Greece and Turkey still remain open for a little while longer.
The Europa League squad registration and further transfer window possibilities are discussed by our Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest in the latest episode of their Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast. Last Sunday’s game at Newcastle United is also a big talking point as the team delivered a good showing but unfortunately couldn’t come away with all three points.
