Tottenham Morning Round-Up, Thursday 5th November 2026: Eight Spurs Stars Feature in Gameweek 9's Top Performers
Good morning Spurs fans. There's a nice stat doing the rounds this morning, with a report highlighting that eight Tottenham players have featured in the top 10 for Gameweek 9, with the piece pointing to Roberto De Zerbi's system relying heavily on his centre-backs, including Micky van de Ven, to help create chances (Spurs Web).
On the injury front, there's encouraging news as Xavi Simons is reported to be in the final stages of his recovery at Hotspur Way, with the Netherlands international's return to training expected this November, seven months on from his ACL injury (Spurs Web).
There's also a transfer story to keep an eye on, with Tottenham said to be weighing up a move for a versatile, World Cup-winning forward valued at £67m, though Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also credited with interest and a January deal is reportedly unlikely for either London club (Spurs Web).
Away from the pitch, there's a nice individual honour on the cards as Koga has been recognised as being in the running for an FSA award (TottenhamHotspur.com).
Looking ahead, Football.London reports that De Zerbi has a couple of changes to weigh up for the upcoming Leeds clash, with the head coach facing a selection dilemma involving Luca Williams-Barnett among the options available to him this weekend (Football.London).
