Jarrod Bowen
February 2026
West Ham reported a £104.2m loss and warned relegation would be financially severe, with reports suggesting Bowen could be sold if funds need raising. The club cited relegation as its biggest risk, noted an expanded wage bill, and flagged player trading as a possible response; reports link United and Spurs as potential suitors if West Ham go down.
Igor Tudor
February 2026
Tottenham’s 4-1 loss to Arsenal reinforced fears that Spurs are genuinely at risk of relegation, despite hopes of a “new manager bounce” under Tudor. Spurs had brief moments, including Kolo Muani pouncing on a Rice mistake and another goal ruled out for a shove on Gabriel, but Arsenal’s control exposed a major quality gap. Tudor’s pre-match bravado flipped to an internal reckoning, demanding the club “become serious” and saying the only fix is hard work and changing habits.
Gabriel Magalhães

Gabriel Magalhães posted a mocking message after Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Tottenham, a result that reasserted Arsenal’s five-point lead at the top. Arsenal controlled the game with a heavy shot advantage and repeated their earlier 4-1 win in the fixture. The derby win also steadied the mood after a draw with Wolves, keeping City at arm’s length despite Arsenal having played a game more.
Igor Tudor
February 2026
Tottenham were thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal in Igor Tudor’s first match in charge, leaving Spurs 16th and only four points above the relegation zone. Arsenal overwhelmed Spurs, with Eze and Gyökeres scoring two each and Kolo Muani’s goal only a consolation. Tudor said the gap between the teams was too big, called out Spurs’ confidence issues, and demanded a mindset reset through work, telling players to “look in the mirror” instead of using Arsenal’s quality as an excuse.
Dele Alli
February 2026
Dele Alli will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the club’s special guest for the derby against Arsenal. The free-agent midfielder recently left Como and is awaiting his next move after a career shaped by form and fitness issues in recent years. Spurs confirmed the appearance in a club statement, noting his 67 goals in 269 games from 2015 to 2022 and plans for a half-time tribute. The visit taps into his popularity with supporters and his legacy as a key figure of the modern era at the club.

Tottenham have been warned relegation could cause major financial harm, with missed European qualification already expected to cost tens of millions via sponsor bonus failures and contract clauses. Spurs sit 16th and five points above the drop zone. Reports say sponsorship deliverables tied to Europe will not be met, and relegation clauses could allow partners to renegotiate or terminate deals. Tudor takes over on an interim basis and faces a difficult run-in including Arsenal, Liverpool, Sunderland and Chelsea plus direct relegation six-pointers.
Pep Guardiola
January 2026
Guardiola argued Tottenham’s first goal should not have stood after a contentious contact in the build-up/finish, as City blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2. City led through Cherki and Semenyo, then Solanke scored twice to level; Guardiola said similar contact by a defender on a striker is given as a penalty, and pointed to inconsistency in Premier League officiating.
Thomas Frank
January 2026
Frank said Spurs wanted Semenyo but could not complete the deal, while outlining Spurs’ two January signings and the club’s stance on not forcing poor short-term moves. Spurs signed Gallagher and teenage left-back Souza for a combined £48m; Semenyo went to Manchester City for £64.5m; Frank said recruitment staff are working relentlessly but will prioritize decisions that do not damage summer plans, with protests expected around the City match.
