The most recent Tottenham Hotspur news, including information on Harry Kane, Xabi Alonso, and preparations for the weekend match against Aston Villa.
On May 12, your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest will be sent.
Kane counsel
Harry Kane has been advised by Marcel Desailly to attempt "something different" and quit Spurs this summer. The former Chelsea defender thinks he should demand a transfer and take matters into his own hands.
Tottenham was in the same predicament when I was playing, Desailly said to beIN Sports. "Nothing, not even leadership. Since 1998, how many trophies have they collected? It is something that will be repeated (instead of receiving awards).
As we have stated, they might renew or he might receive a lucrative contract. But (Robert) Lewandowski left a different kind of team, like Bayern Munich, in order to confront and accomplish something else. Language, culture, and trophy.
Alonso's posture
Xabi Alonso is content in Germany, according to Fernando Carro, the head of Bayer Leverkusen, despite rumours that he wants the Tottenham position. Despite having little managerial experience, the former Liverpool midfielder had emerged as a surprising contender to succeed Antonio Conte.
He has a contract with us until 2024, according to Carro, who spoke to Spanish media outlet AS. Both he and we are content with him here. We are having fun working together, and I have no doubt that he will have us back for another season. There may be many more, but with football, you can only see so far. Undoubtedly, one of our duties as club directors is to monitor coaches on a regular basis, not just when you need them.
"We had Xabi Alonso on our list of potential future coaches for the time we considered suited. We had been following him for a very long period. We were confident that he was a very solid bet for the future due to the combination of his strengths, his experience in several levels, and his ability to learn from numerous coaches. We made the decision to proceed for that reason.
Emery identifies the main Spurs threat
Unai Emery is determined to stop Pedro Porro on Saturday afternoon because he is well aware of the threat he brings to his squad. The Aston Villa manager was quoted as saying: "Yes, of course, [Porro] is performing extremely well. Both offensively and defensively, he is a good player. I want to stop him and accept the challenge of the battle because he will be facing Moreno and [Lucas] Digne.
The Spaniard was questioned about Tottenham as well. They had initially hoped to place among the top four, Emery continued. Compared to five to 10 years ago, it's harder now. Seven teams are now vying to finish in the top four.
Perhaps Aston Villa is included now. It's more challenging. Tottenham has seen some issues over the past month, but they have excellent players. In their most recent game, which they played versus Palace, they maintained an excellent tactical balance and had strong defenders and transition players. They have exceptionally talented players that are capable of using many tactical strategies.
