5 Tottenham news & rumours to start your Saturday, September 7

1. Pundit makes Eberechi Eze claim amid Tottenham links

Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace’s midfielder, attracted significant interest from Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window but ultimately remained at Selhurst Park. Despite being a top target for Spurs, with a release clause set at £60 million, no official offer materialised.

Football pundit Ally McCoist expressed his surprise at Eze's stay, aligning with Palace chairman Steve Parish's remarks on the unexpected lack of movement. Factors such as the complexity of Eze's release clause and Tottenham's satisfaction with Lucas Bergvall's pre-season performance might have influenced the decision not to pursue the deal.

2. Tottenham star among Premier League's best, according to portal

Tottenham's Cristian Romero has emerged as one of the Premier League's top centre-backs this season, currently rated highest among defenders by WhoScored. Following a strong campaign last season under Ange Postecoglou, where he showed significant maturity and formed a solid partnership with Micky van de Ven, Romero continues to impress.

Despite some early-season errors, including a costly mistake against Newcastle, his defensive metrics remain outstanding, with high marks for tackles and aerial duels. While statistics are crucial, Romero’s leadership and on-field presence also solidify his status as one of the best in his position this season.

3. Tottenham fans won't be happy with Rio Ferdinand's Premier League prediction

With the 2023/24 Premier League season underway, Tottenham fans are hopeful, especially under Ange Postecoglou's leadership in his second year. However, Rio Ferdinand’s prediction for the top four, excluding Spurs, has caused some unease. Ferdinand expects Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United to secure Champions League spots, leaving Tottenham out.

Despite this, Spurs supporters remain optimistic, especially with the team’s strong Europa League position, which could offer an alternative route to the Champions League. Ultimately, Ferdinand’s prediction is just that; a prediction. Tottenham still has the chance to prove their doubters wrong this season.

4. Former Tottenham star reveals tough experience during his time at the club

Kyle Walker, a consistent right-back during his time at Tottenham, recently revealed the emotional struggle he faced in his final days at the club before his £45 million move to Manchester City in 2017. Walker detailed how his relationship with manager Mauricio Pochettino became strained during the 2016-2017 season, particularly when he was rotated with Kieran Trippier, which disrupted his form. The situation worsened when Pochettino benched him for most of Tottenham's final game at White Hart Lane, a decision that deeply hurt Walker. Despite the tension, Walker insists that he was sidelined by Pochettino, not the other way around.

5. Spurs international watch: Perfect night for Tottenham defender

Cristian Romero played a key role in Argentina's 2026 World Cup qualifier against Chile, where they secured a win that placed them five points clear at the top of the CONMEBOL standings. Romero, positioned on the right of a back three alongside Nicolás Otamendi and Lisandro Martínez, delivered a solid defensive performance, recording three clearances, two interceptions, and two tackles.

This match continued Romero's strong form in the qualifiers, having conceded only two goals in seven games. Argentina's next challenge is against Colombia, where Romero might face former Spurs teammate Davinson Sánchez.
