Breaking News: Tottenham Ange Postecoglou Has Suspended Son Heung-min And Richarlison For Ten………………..read more.
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Sunday afternoon in a Premier League match that has produced some extraordinary scorelines in recent years.
At St James’ Park, Spurs have suffered two heavy defeats in their last two visits, with Newcastle thrashing them 6-1 and 4-0 in their most recent encounters.
Eddie Howe’s side has had a slow start to the 2024/25 season, narrowly winning 1-0 against Southampton on the opening weekend after Fabian Schar was sent off, followed by a draw away at Bournemouth.
Tottenham, on the other hand, struggled to convert chances during their game against Leicester City but regained form with a 4-0 victory over Everton, led by a brace from Son Heung-min.
Both teams are tied at four points each after the first two gameweeks, setting the stage for an intriguing clash on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou is holding a transfer deadline day press conference ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Newcastle United in the Premier League.
It is a busy Friday for Spurs with the Europa League group stage draw coming after midday and then the head coach speaking to reporters ahead of the journey up to St James Park to play Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side on Sunday. That is all happening amid the final hours of the summer transfer window, which closes at 11pm.
Tottenham have made a series of signings this summer in Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert, Archie Gray, the returning Timo Werner and a January arrival to come in 2025 in Yang Min-hyeok, while Lucas Bergvall joined up with his team-mates this summer following his February switch from Djurgarden.
The club have also moved on a huge number of players in an extensive overhaul of Postecoglou’s squad with Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso likely to add to that group of departing stars before the window closes.
Postecoglou will talk about the prospect of any further late signings on deadline day at his press conference and the likelihood of more exits from the clubs before 11pm.
The Australian will also discuss the Europa League group stage draw, the trip to Newcastle after recent poor results there for the club as well as the latest injury news regarding Dominic Solanke, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur and anyone else carrying fresh knocks.
Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Postecoglou. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Hotspur Way.
