Next season Spurs’ best chance of winning Premier League title?
It has been a good few weeks for Tottenham Hotspur. Just over a fortnight ago, Antonio Conte’s side wrapped up a top-four finish in the Premier League by demolishing Norwich City on the final day. That win at Carrow Road secured their place in next season’s edition of the Champions League after missing out for two years on the bounce.

Stars have aligned for Spurs
Tottenham, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son are entering the proverbial “last-chance saloon.” While, clearly, all three of those parties could well go on to have success without each other, the window is certainly closing on the possibility of them having it together.

Conte can compete with Klopp and Guardiola next season
Tottenham Hotspur were slumped in ninth place when Antonio Conte arrived at the club last November. Many in North London had already given up hope on making the top four and qualifying for the Champions League and instead looked to their new Italian manager to merely point them in the right direction again.

The best New Zealand players in Premier League history
New Zealand is not known for their football credentials – the nation has just one fully professional club to its name. However, that hasn’t stopped a handful of Kiwis trying their luck in top leagues such as the English Premier League.

Should Spurs swap Conte for Poch?
As footballing divorces go, the one that saw Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham Hotspur part ways in November 2019 was particularly painful, and maybe even regretful for both parties. Jose Mourinho, Pochettino’s replacement, lasted less than a year-and-a-half as Spurs boss while Pochettino has suffered a stressful time at Paris Saint-Germain.

Pochettino’s next move pivotal in career
During an era in which Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are redefining what it takes to succeed at the top of the game, it is hard for any other manager to make an impact. Antonio Conte, Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann are probably in the tier of coaches below the Manchester City and Liverpool managers, while the world awaits the arrival of Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United.

The remarkable return of Christian Eriksen
Chelsea know all too well what Christian Eriksen is capable of. The Dane has an exceptional record of nine goals in 16 appearances against the Blues with his latest strike coming in Brentford’s shock 4-1 win over Thomas Tuchel’s team on Saturday.

We are far from the Harry Kane end-game
When Harry Kane announced he was staying at Tottenham after Manchester City had failed to sign him, it seemed like the closing of a chapter. Approaching 30, the fact Spurs managed to hold off Pep Guardiola’s interest and keep their talisman even after he’d taken the step of making it clear he’d like to leave naturally led to the assumption that City would not try again.

Is Harry Kane England’s greatest ever striker?
Another productive international break saw England captain Harry Kane move to 49 international goals, with the striker likely to claim Wayne Rooney’s record by the end of the year. Kane hit 16 goals in 16 games for his country in 2021 and having found top form for Tottenham again in recent weeks, he will be looking forward to the Qatar World Cup despite continued speculation that his future could be elsewhere for the 2022-23 domestic season.

Who should Tottenham sign this summer?
Tottenham seem certain to miss out on next season’s Champions League and the squad needs an overhaul if they are to push for the top four once more next term. Who should Tottenham sign to become competitive again next season? Jose Mourinho will hope to rebuild his squad over the close-season but his budget might depend on whether he decides to sell some of the club’s valuable assets such as Tanguy Ndombele, who has made little impact since becoming the club’s record signing last year.
