Tottenham Hotspur supporters are getting frustrated with their club promising better and never ever delivering. This past summer transfer window, Spurs brought in a new manager in Thomas Frank after Ange Postecoglou finished a historically poor 17th in the Premier League despite winning the Europa League. They signed marquee players like Randal Kolo Muani, Mohammed Kudus, and Xavi Simons. And then they fired Daniel Levy before promising more investment and bigger and better things in the future.
Well, what Tottenham have done in this 2025/26 Premier League season is lose game after game, including getting completely embarrassed by top rivals Arsenal and Chelsea in head to head competition. Their latest game? A 3-0 blowout loss to a Sean Dyche coached Nottingham Forest, of all teams to get blown out by.
Tottenham are expecting real changes and real attacking upgrades in the coming January transfer window, but it looks like even one marquee attacking signing is too much to ask from Tottenham at this stage.
Tottenham are out of it
In his latest transfer news update on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Tottenham Hotspur are no longer advancing for Bournemouth superstar left winger Antoine Semenyo in the latest cruel transfer blow for Spurs supporters to absorb.
This sudden transfer report from Fabrizio about Spurs being all but totally out of the race for Semenyo comes in stark juxtaposition to both his previous reporting and everything else everyone else was reporting about Semenyo and Spurs. Tottenham were seemingly one of the candidates to sign the Ghanaian star with as good of a chance as anyone - Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United being the other main candidates - to sign Semenyo.
Now, it looks like Spurs have either been roundly rejected by Semenyo and have thus pulled out of the transfer race, or they are moving on to other options with no interest in competing in a wage bill bidding war with the elite of the elite in the Premier League - or they have simply resigned themselves to losing to another transfer target.
It is a tale as old as time itself. Spurs show interest in an elite transfer target all the big boys will want, and then once things get serious and the big boys start throwing around big boy numbers, the Tottenham brass turns into little puppies and run away with their tail between their legs. Same old Tottenham, no matter what the goons in the front office tell the fans, and the same fake fans posing for social media likes will lap it up and tell you these players were never good anyway while watching Spurs finish outside the top four yet again.
