    We asked for your views on Tottenham's new signing Marcos Senesi and whether it is smart business for the club, who have struggled for form in the past two seasons.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Gary: A good signing. Someone who will be available all season, no suspensions, injuries or controversy. Someone you can rely on. Cannot wait for the clear-out to begin.

    Gazza: So refreshing to see Spurs make some early signings after years of last-minute cut-price panic deals. Is this the new chapter we've all been waiting for? COYS.

    Bodebird: Has Senesi missed what happened this last season at Tottenham? We're lucky to have him. One Argentinian centre-back in and the other hopefully out soon. Senesi will be a more level-headed example for the younger players.

    Jimmy: Good addition to the squad, especially on a free transfer. I've a feeling both Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero will be departing this pre-season. Jan Paul van Hecke should be another great addition.

    Mehmet: Great Signing. Will make the defence a lot stronger, alongside Andy Robertson. Need to sign Van Hecke too.

    Josh: Seems a great buy considering how good Bournemouth were last season. However, we just need to try to offload Romero. If so, I think Senesi and Van de Ven will be a strong partnership at the back.

    Matt: This is the definition of a no-brainer. A proven, experienced, quality player who could go straight into the team. Get Romero out and Van Hecke in and we have a central defensive unit of fantastic stature in Senesi, Micky, Danso and Van Hecke. The future's bright, the future's Lily White.

    Thomas: Senesi is a brilliant player. I can't express how happy I am with his arrival. He was a mainstay of my Fantasy team last season. Welcome and COYS!

  3. 'Special feeling to be a Spurs player' - Senesi joins Tottenhampublished at 17:34 BST 10 June

    Marcos Senesi says it is a "special feeling" to join Tottenham, after the club announced he will be signing on a free transfer on 1 July.

    The Argentina defender will move to north London after four years with Bournemouth following the expiry of his current deal with the Cherries.

    Speaking to the club media, Senesi said: "It's a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player.

    "From the first moment, the club has shown why they want me and how much they want me to be a part of what they are building. It's exciting and something I can't wait to be involved in.

    "Every time I step on the pitch, I will do my best to make the fans proud and to take the club back to the place it belongs. I want to win things with Tottenham and will do everything I can to make that happen."

    The 29-year-old made 128 appearances for Bournemouth, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists, and helped the south coast side secure European football for the first time in his final campaign with them.

    Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi, added: "Marcos' experience, quality on the ball, and competitive edge will strengthen us defensively, as well as giving us flexibility in formation.

    "He's comfortable playing in a possession-based team, reads the game very well and has the personality to thrive in a demanding environment.

    "I also love his mentality and desire to keep improving and I'm looking forward to working with him and seeing the big contribution he can make to the team."

    What do you make of the new signing? Is Senesi the type of player to improve Spurs? And is this a sign of smart business and recovery following last season's difficulties?

  4. Bissouma to depart as Davies sees bright future under De Zerbipublished at 12:57 BST 10 June

    Tottenham have confirmed Yves Bissouma will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.

    The 29-year-old joined Spurs in 2022, making 111 appearances after his high-profile move from Brighton.

    Spurs have also confirmed a group of under-21 players who will leave the club, including Pele Arganese-McDermott, Tyrell Ashcroft, Leo Black, Dante Cassanova, Matthew Craig and Calum Logan.

    Long-serving defender Ben Davies has committed a further year to the club in agreeing a new deal.

    "It's been a huge part of my football journey," Davies said.

    "I am just grateful for what the club has given me so far in my career.

    "When you have the new manager come in, that first session and game you want to impress. I didn't have that opportunity this year. My first conversation was that I wasn't going to be around to help him on the pitch (due to inuury). I was around pretty much every meeting and game, trying to help the guys.

    "Seeing the way he's come in and lifted this group in a really tough spot, he lifted us, the fans, the club, having his presence and confidence, we can feel a lot of relief. The job he has done is amazing but I am excited to see what he brings in the future for this club.

    "He's incredibly passionate. It's honestly a pleasure to watch. There are new ideas every day. On an emotional level he's incredibly smart - he knows when the players need a pick me up or a dressing down."

  6. 'Luckily I play football with my feet and not my jaw' - Spencepublished at 12:27 BST 9 June

    Djed Spence will have to play the entire World Cup in a protective mask due to a "crazy challenge" from Liam Delap, which saw him sustain a broken jaw in Tottenham's penultimate Premier League game of the season.

    The full-back, who was named in Thomas Tuchel's 26-man England squad ahead of Newcastle United's Lewis Hall and Manchester United's Luke Shaw, revealed the injury will take three months to heal.

    "It is a little bit uncomfortable - but it is what it is," Spence said. "I have a broken jaw so I have to wear it throughout the tournament.

    "It is something I will have to get used to. It will be three months until it is fully healed, so it is a long time. It was painful, but luckily I play football with my feet and not my jaw so it is all good.

    "I have been wearing it in training, getting used to wearing it in the heat, and trying to break it in properly.

    "It was a crazy challenge, but it is in the past now. I've just got to focus on this tournament now. "

    The 25-year-old, who has five England caps to his name, sported his protective mask in England's first World Cup warm-up game against New Zealand last week.

    "It shows the manager believes in me," Spence added on his World Cup call-up. "He believes in my quality and I'm thankful for him.

    "I just want to keep on putting in the performances to make everyone happy. It is a huge honour to play for your country, it is a big thing. I'm over the moon and happy to be here.

    "It has been a difficult season [with Tottenham], but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. We managed to get out of a difficult situation, so we have to move forward. Hopefully this World Cup will be a good one."

    England will continue their preparations with another warm-up fixture against Costa Rica in Orlando on Wednesday, 10 June.

  7. Fans like Mitoma - but would going for ex-De Zerbi players show 'weakness'?published at 09:31 BST 9 June

    Your Tottenham opinions banner

    We asked for your views on which players boss Roberto de Zerbi has worked with before you would like to see Tottenham target as the club look to close a deal for Jan Paul van Hecke, his former defender at Brighton.

    Here are some of your comments:

    David: I like the idea of a chunk of our defence being from the Netherlands. So yes to Van Hecke and Bart Verbruggen to complement Micky van de Ven. I remember a time not long ago when our Belgian duo, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, secured our backline and that worked out great. And if Roberto already knows them, so much the better.

    Atul: Tottenham need strengthening all over the pitch and if he rates his former players, then yes, he should go for them.

    Christopher: I have always been an admirer of Kaoru Mitoma and have desired for Tottenham to sign him long before Mr De Zerbi came along. In my opinion, Japanese players are hugely underrated and the traditionally 'bigger' clubs not coming in for them (like Maeda Daizen at Celtic) is strange. And, unlike players from Marseille, Shakhtar Donetsk and Mr De Zerbi's Italian clubs, Mitoma not only has Premier League experience but five years of it. He would top of my list.

    Doug: Van Hecke is a great player and if we can get it over the line it would be an amazing signing. Brighton need to be realistic with his valuation and, as he's in his final year, I wouldn't overpay and would sign him next season instead on a free. The player I'd most love to see though is Mitoma - he is class and we need someone like him on our left wing because we never replaced Son Heung-min.

    Ken: Signing former players is a weakness. It's an attempt at a shortcut and a tacit admission that you are unable to transfer your ideas across quickly and/or that you have already made a judgement on certain players like Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie et al.

    Tyler: I've always loved Mitoma. He reminds me so much of Son in his prime. I would rather go in for him than Savinho for that alone.

    Charles: Van Hecke would be a great choice in place of Romero, who needs to leave this summer, particularly as the Brighton defender is a compatriot of Van de Ven. However, my top pick would be Mitoma - an incredible player who scored a sensational goal against us last season. Spurs badly need a fast left-sided player and he would be an amazing signing.

    Matt: It is very limiting to only look at players who have played for De Zerbi in the past so I hope they don't restrict themselves in that way. However, having players who can come right in and play his style and advocate for his methods would be beneficial and help Spurs get a quick start next season. I'd love to see Mitoma at Spurs. He's a direct replacement for Son and he still has a couple good seasons in him. He would help develop our younger players in that position: Mikey Moore and Mathys Tel.

    Ian: Mitoma. We need someone capable right now, and that doesn't block the path of Moore long term. I think Savinho is just a different Tel and too similar in age to all the other left forwards we have. They would all block one another's paths, particularly Moore's.

  9. Which former De Zerbi players could Spurs target? - Have your saypublished at 17:57 BST 8 June

    Brighton are expecting Tottenham to return with another bid for defender Jan Paul van Hecke after rejecting their initial offer.

    Van Hecke, who is part of the Netherlands' World Cup squad, has a year left on his contract and new Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi is keen to be reunited with the 25-year-old after working with him at Brighton.

    The Brighton defender would be one of De Zerbi's first signings - after signing former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson - if this deal materialised, and shows how he is looking to boost his squad with players he knows well from his previous managerial roles.

    Which other former De Zerbi players would you like to see Spurs target this summer and why? And do you think this is a good recruitment strategy for the club?

  10. 'My recovery has already started' - Eriksen offers updatepublished at 17:57 BST 8 June

    Quote graphic features Christian Eriksen: "As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my ICD has had a major effect on both me and my family, but I want to assure everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021," wrote Eriksen. "In addition to being grateful for the support and assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, I am also incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the years. "Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it.
"For now, my focus is on recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children."

    Christian Eriksen has given a positive update on his health on his Instagram page.

    The midfielder collapsed during the second half of Denmark's friendly against Ukraine on 7 June.

    He was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) - a type of pacemaker - after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Euro 2020 match against Finland in 2021.

  11. Mentality and goalscorers - fans on changes for next seasonpublished at 16:48 BST 5 June

    Your Tottenham opinions banner

    We asked for your views on what one thing needs to change at Tottenham before the new campaign and why.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Steve: We need a top-quality centre forward... for a change. Disappointingly, Solanke hasn't made the grade.

    Phil: The big one for me is a player. It has to be the position of goalkeeper. Tottenham need a world-class goalkeeper to strengthen the defence. Unfortunately last season the number one Vicario was nowhere near the required standard, nervous on crosses and corners. Terrible with the ball at his feet and much too prone to making silly mistakes. He alone must have cost the team at least 10 points last season. Not sure whether Kinsky is the answer but huge credit goes to him for coming back and helping the club stay in the Premier League after the terrible time he had in the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

    Robert: The two major issues De Zerbi needs to solve are the weak player mentality and the crippling injury list that has plagued the squad for the past two seasons.

    Colin: If everybody stays fit I think we have a competitive team for next year, the new manager seems to be switched on with how to get the best out of the players. We need a world-class striker to complete the team, we've never come close to replacing Kane. Richarlison and Solanke are not the answer.

    Robin: We need Harry Kane back. Not only on the field but just around the club. Same with Son. Both are amazing influences on the club and the fans and team mates. But in reality we need a real goalscorer. Not an occasional one, which is all we have. Sad.

    Richard: Two players that can score 20-plus goals in a season.

    Jonesy: Recruitment, recruitment, recruitment - we need to stop fishing in the bargain basement at the 11th hour of every transfer window and sign the players that improve our starting 11 early in the window. We have to avoid a re-run of last summer's debacle at all costs - if the player won't commit within reasonable time then move on because he's probably not going to be right for us anyway.

    Former Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has shared a statement via the League Managers' Association.

    It's the first time he has spoken since his sacking in February this year after eight months in charge.

    "I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out over the past few months," said Frank. "Your support and encouragement have been greatly appreciated.

    "Leaving Tottenham has given me the chance to step back and reflect on my journey so far. Football management is a profession that demands complete commitment every single day, and periods like this are a rare opportunity to assess, learn and gain a fresh perspective.

    "From the outside, it may have looked like a time of many challenges at Tottenham when results were not what we wanted. From within, however, it becomes clear why the club is so special - full of talented people who work tirelessly every day. I have no doubt Tottenham has a bright future."

    The 52-year-old said he will not be returning to management this summer, but confirmed he will be part of some World Cup coverage.

    "I am also looking forward to covering the World Cup for Danish television and the BBC, as well as experiencing the Tour de France. Time away from the touchline is allowing me to broaden my perspective and gather insights that I look forward to bringing into my next challenge.

    "There have been conversations and opportunities since leaving Spurs, but I have decided not to rush into the next role. For me, this summer is not the right time to go back into management.

    "When the time is right, I will look forward to my return as a manager, ready to embrace the job with great energy and dedication."

    Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto de Zerbi has said Spurs have signed a "proven winner" as Andy Robertson's free transfer from Liverpool was confirmed.

    The 32-year-old, who will captain Scotland at the upcoming World Cup, will join Spurs officially on 1 July when his Liverpool contract expires.

    He won numerous honours during his nine years at Anfield, including the Champions League, two Premier League titles and the Fifa Club World Cup, and will join a Tottenham side that narrowly avoided relegation in the final weeks of the Premier League season.

    De Zerbi said: "Andy is someone I've admired for a number of years and he will bring outstanding technical qualities, experience, leadership and mentality to our team.

    "He is a proven winner at the highest level over a long period and is someone who can be a big player for us, both on and off the pitch.

    "I can't wait to start working with him and seeing the positive impact he will have on everyone around him."

    In a video message to fans posted on Spurs' X account, left-back Robertson said: "I cannot wait to play for you guys, I cannot wait to meet you guys, I cannot wait to play in the stadium for the first time in front of you and I'm already looking forward to next season."

    Table shows how many players from each Premier League club go to the World Cup.
Man City 19, Arsenal 16, Man Utd 13, Palace 12, Chelsea, Liverpool, Sunderland all on 11.
Aston Villa 10, Tottenham nine, Brighton and Newcastle 8. Fulham and Wolves 7. Bournemouth and Forest 6. Burnley and West Ham 5. Brentford, Everton, Leeds all on 4.

    With all 48 World Cup squads now confirmed, we look at how they shape up and compare with each other leading into the tournament.

    Which clubs have the most players?

    Looking just at the 20 clubs that made up the 2025-26 Premier League, only this season's top three have more players at the World Cup than Conference League winners Crystal Palace (12).

    Including players out on loan over the season, Sunderland remarkably have as many representatives on the global stage as Chelsea and Liverpool (11), showing just how globe-trotting their recruitment was following promotion last summer.

    The majority of Brentford, Everton and Leeds' squads can put their feet up and recharge their batteries for next season, with those clubs sending just four players each.
