Johnson slipped down the pecking order after Thomas Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou, prompting Spurs to accept a deal with Palace.

Spurs face Manor Solomon dilemma as Villarreal loan sours

Manor Solomon
December 2025

Solomon’s second loan spell, this time at Villarreal, has stalled after a bright start, with just 358 minutes and one goal across 11 games leaving the winger frustrated. His loan deal reportedly contains a clause allowing an early January termination. Villarreal could cut the Israeli’s spell short to free wages and a squad spot, forcing Spurs to decide whether to reintegrate him for the run-in or arrange another short-term move. With game time limited in Spain and previous Leeds loan experience, Solomon’s next step will shape his stalled Premier League career.

Frank defends Van de Ven after Isak leg-break criticism

Micky van de Ven
December 2025

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank moved to defend Micky van de Ven after Arne Slot branded the defender’s tackle on Alexander Isak “reckless”. Isak scored Liverpool’s opener in north London but suffered an ankle injury with a fibula fracture in the same incident. Van de Ven’s attempt to block Florian Wirtz’s through ball left Isak’s leg trapped at an awkward angle, forcing the striker off despite walking without a stretcher. Liverpool later confirmed surgery and a long absence, while Frank argued it was a committed last-ditch challenge rather than malicious play.
