Tottenham Hotspur had a challenging 2024/25 season despite winning the Europa League under manager Ange Postecoglou. Following the season, the club appointed Thomas Frank, giving fans hope for a better outcome in the 2025/26 season. However, the current season has been disappointing, with Spurs sitting in 14th place. There are growing concerns about Frank’s job security, though the club is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for new player Souza, who hinted at his departure from Santos in a farewell message.
Tottenham Hotspur Faces Tough Season
Souza Close to Joining Spurs from Santos
This season has not gone well for Spurs, who secured just one win in their last five league matches. A last-minute loss to West Ham has created a crisis atmosphere around the club, intensifying talks about Thomas Frank’s future.
On January 18, Tottenham’s CEO Vinai Venkatesham was seen arriving at the training ground amid rising speculation about Frank’s situation.
It remains unclear if Frank will continue as manager for the upcoming Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on January 20.
Souza’s Farewell Message
Reports from Fabrizio Romano and others indicate that the transfer of Souza to Spurs is almost finalized. While he has completed his medical examination, Brazilian media have noted that Santos did not hold full rights to the player, causing delays in the deal.
Any issues appear to have been resolved, as Souza posted a farewell message on his Instagram account:
“After 10 years with this club, I’m ready for a new challenge. This past year has been a journey of growth, and I appreciate the support from the fans. I leave with pride and gratitude for everything.”
Souza is expected to enhance the struggling Spurs lineup. At a young age, he is strong and offensively talented, known for his speed and dribbling skills. Although he still needs to improve defensively, his attacking potential will be a significant boost for Tottenham.
