Tottenham Hotspur – Season Preview

Nickname: Spurs
Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Capacity 62,850)
Manager: Ange Postecoglou (AUS)
Last Season: 8th  

Another year passes without a glimmer of silverware for Tottenham, and another year starts with a new man at the helm. Where so many have tried and ended up ‘nearly’ bringing success to the Lilywhites, this time, it’s on Australian Ange Postecoglou to try his fortune. Is this the managerial appointment Spurs need to go the distance this year?

Key Player: Harry Kane

Keep him, and Spurs are almost guaranteed 20+ goals. Lose him, and where will those goals come from? If he remains at the club, Harry Kane could take another huge step in his quest to overtake Alan Shearer in the all-time Premier League goal scorer list. But keeping hold of him and his goals is essential to the success of Tottenham’s season.

Star Signing: James Maddison €46.30m

Admired by many clubs this summer after Leicester’s relegation, the England international is a slick addition to the Tottenham squad and will want to prove himself at a larger club. Can he connect with fellow Englishman Harry Kane and inspire a new look Spurs midfield? 

First Match: Brentford (A) August 13

The starter to Sunday's main course of Chelsea-Liverpool, Tottenham's first match is a short hop west to take on London rivals Brentford. Spurs only finished with a single point more than the Bees last season and will want to establish a new era with Postecoglou at the helm. Despite that, Community Stadium proved to be a tough place to visit last season, with Liverpool, Brighton and Man United all suffering defeats. What fate awaits Spurs?

Predicted Finish: 7th

After limping to 8th last season, Spurs will be hoping to bounce back to European football. However, with teams around them improving significantly, and a new league for the ‘unproven at this level’ Ange Postecoglou, it will take a lot to get this side into the top four, especially if the Harry Kane saga continues.

Will Ange Postecoglou guide Tottenham to the top four?

Tottenham - To finish in the Top 4: 4.50

(odds correct as of July 31, 2023, and subject to change)

Did you know? At 29 years and 312 days old, when Ryan Mason replaced Jose Mourinho as caretaker manager of Tottenham, he became the only manager below 30 to take charge of a Premier League team.
