Tottenham‘s season has slipped further into crisis after last night’s devastating 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth, but they could at least move closer to a January signing.
Under fire Thomas Franck saw his side surrender a lead in humiliating fashion, collapsing defensively in a chaotic encounter which saw the Cherries snatch all three points at the Vitality Stadium.
The result leaves Spurs 14th in the table after 21 matches and seven points off the top four – a dismal return which has significantly increased the pressure on Frank.
The north Londoners entered the campaign with real ambitions to challenge for European qualification and silverware, but find themselves miles away amid torrid form.
Spurs have now dropped crucial points from winning positions on multiple occasions this season, highlighting systemic issues within the team that the manager has struggled to resolve.
As a result, January is expected to be a busy month for Frank, with Tottenham appear to be targeting a new striker — especially after the injury to Mohammed Kudus which will now keep him absent until after the international break in March.
They also go after the sensation of Santos Souza, with talks continue all week over deal for 19-year-old as Tottenham attempt to push through a deal.
Fortunately, there is now a significant development.
Tottenham agree personal terms with Souza ahead of new offer
Indeed, Tottenham have now agreed personal terms with Souza ahead of a possible move to north London, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
This breakthrough represents a significant step forward in that quest, with the player clearly viewing Spurs as an attractive destination to continue his development.
Negotiations remain ongoing with Santos as Tottenham prepare a new offer, which is expected to arrive soon. Details are still believed to be lacking regarding the exact structure and value of the enhanced proposal, but Romano says Spurs at least have full buy-in from the players.
Souza has been dubbed “the new Marcelo” by some in Brazil following his impressive performances for Santos.
THE ‘outstandingThe teenager established himself as a regular starter despite an ankle injury last season, making 29 appearances in total and contributing to three goals, while demonstrating the attacking thrust that modern full-backs need.
Personal terms give Tottenham a crucial advantage in negotiations, with the player present and keen to move to the club. Premier League.
The Lilywhites must also be wary of competition for Souza’s signature. Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle United have all expressed interest in Brazil, according to reports, so Frank’s team may have to act quickly.
Santos promoted Souza through his youth system and reportedly views him as a valuable commodity, capable of commanding a high price despite his age and relative inexperience at the next level.
Tottenham cannot afford further delays given their current league position and lack of defensive cover. Frank needs reinforcements immediately to help inspire his torrid campaign, and the coming weeks could prove crucial.
