Tottenham board stand firm behind Frank despite derby humiliation

Thomas Frank
November 2025

Tottenham intend to give Thomas Frank time despite a 4-1 thrashing at Arsenal, three defeats in their last five league games and a slide to ninth. The ownership still sees him as a long term appointment and are not considering a change. Club figures accept concerns over his constant rotation, with 29 Premier League lineup changes already, and some players want more focus on Spurs’ own strengths rather than opponents. Even so, the hierarchy believes stability is key and expects Frank to solve the creativity issues.

Frank apologises after Spurs’ 4-1 derby capitulation at Arsenal

Tottenham suffered a bruising 4-1 defeat away to Arsenal, producing one of their worst displays of the season as Eberechi Eze hit a hat-trick, Spurs generated an expected goals figure of just 0.07 and rarely threatened their fiercest rivals. Thomas Frank admitted the performance was the complete opposite of his intentions, apologised to supporters, criticised Spurs for losing too many duels and failing to escape Arsenal’s press, and warned their recurring lack of creativity, also seen against Chelsea, must be fixed quickly.

Kompany targets Bayern’s set-piece flaw before Arsenal showdown

Vincent Kompany
November 2025

Bayern sit top of the Bundesliga with 31 points from 11 games and only eight goals conceded, but six of those have come from set pieces, a worrying pattern as they prepare to face set-piece specialists Arsenal in a crucial Champions League tie. Kompany insists he is calm, blaming recent concessions on collective errors and demanding more personality in dead-ball defending, while pointing out Bayern also scored from a corner in their 6-2 win over Freiburg and will keep working to fix the issue.

Adeyemi chooses Arsenal project over Manchester United after weapons fine sto

Karim Adeyemi
November 2025

Adeyemi is reported to favour a move to Arsenal over Manchester United, with the Dortmund forward telling intermediaries that Mikel Arteta’s project is his first choice as the Bundesliga club set a £75m valuation that already exceeds United’s planned outlay. United’s early talks with Jorge Mendes faded once Adeyemi made his preference clear, while off the pitch he publicly apologised for receiving a knuckleduster and taser in an online “mystery box,” accepting a heavy fine and calling the episode a reckless mistake he vows not to repeat.

Bayern lose in-form Luis Diaz to three-game European ban

Luis Diaz (Bayern Munich)
November 2025

Bayern winger Luis Diaz has been hit with a three-match Champions League suspension for serious foul play after his red-card tackle on Achraf Hakimi, ruling him out of the top-of-the-table showdown with Arsenal and two further European group games. Diaz scored twice before his dismissal in Bayern’s crucial win over PSG, but UEFA deemed his late challenge dangerously reckless as Hakimi suffered a severe ankle sprain. Vincent Kompany must now navigate decisive ties against Arsenal, Sporting CP and Union Saint-Gilloise without a key attacker.

Bayern’s preparation for a key domestic and European run has been disrupted as Manuel Neuer battles a gastrointestinal infection and Serge Gnabry struggles with lingering problems from Germany duty, leaving both doubtful for Freiburg and potentially the critical Champions League meeting with Arsenal. Kompany confirmed Neuer has missed training and Gnabry is unlikely to feature, putting added pressure on Bayern’s depth. The medical staff will decide next steps as Bayern weigh whether to risk players short of full fitness or trust reserves for two high-stakes fixtures in quick succession.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
November 2025

Kai Havertz has suffered a minor relapse in his recovery from knee surgery after injuring himself in training following Arsenal’s season opener against Manchester United, extending a stop start year that already included a hamstring layoff and keeping his return date uncertain for club and country. Julian Nagelsmann says Havertz is broadly doing well but needs time to regain rhythm alongside Jamal Musiala, echoing Mikel Arteta’s earlier warning that Arsenal must protect the knee carefully so he can come back for the long term rather than risk repeated breakdowns.

Arsenal rethink salary cap stance as Premier League vote support fades

Arsenal
In the build up to this week’s Premier League shareholders’ meeting and planned salary cap vote

Arsenal have shifted from strong backing of a Premier League salary cap to a more cautious stance after the exit of executive Tim Lewis, leaving the proposal short of firm support just as clubs prepare to vote on anchoring wage bills.
The plan would tie maximum wage spending to five times the revenue of the bottom club, which critics say could weaken English giants in Europe and face legal challenges from players and clubs, putting Friday’s shareholders’ vote and the whole project in doubt.
