Tottenham Morning Round-Up, Sunday 8th November 2026: Spurs Fall to Defeat at Leeds and Consider Formal VAR Complaint
Spurs will wake up disappointed this morning after going down 1-0 at Elland Road to Leeds United, with Football.London's talking points piece pointing to a difficult afternoon for Roberto De Zerbi's side as Daniel Farke's hosts got the better of them (Football.London). Highlights of the match are now up on the club's official site for anyone who missed the action live (TottenhamHotspur.com), and the game also featured on Match of the Day alongside the other Saturday fixtures (BBC Sport).
There's some controversy to come out of the result too, with Football.London reporting that Tottenham are set to lodge a formal complaint over a VAR decision that saw Leeds defender Jayden Bogle avoid a red card during the clash (Football.London).
On the transfer front, Spurs Web reports that Tottenham are looking at the South American market again, with the club said to be competing with Atletico Madrid for a £20.8m Argentine defender who would provide cover for Pedro Porro at right-back (Spurs Web). Further forward, Spurs Web also reports that Tottenham face competition from Juventus and Everton for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun in the January window, with the report suggesting Spurs are not currently favourites to land a forward said to be a target for Mauricio Pochettino (Spurs Web).
With the dust still settling on the Leeds defeat, it promises to be a busy week behind the scenes as Spurs weigh up their options both in the transfer market and over that VAR complaint.
