Overview
- Tottenham are 16th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone and still seeking a first league win of 2026 after a 4-1 loss to Arsenal in Igor Tudor’s debut.
- Tudor says he has not raised relegation with players, prioritizes training and results over style in what he calls a life-or-death fight, and wants a small-team mentality to grind out points.
- A long injury list continues to constrain selection, with key absentees including James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, though Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso are due back for Fulham on Sunday.
- Reports indicate the owners plan to scrap the wage structure and fund a major summer overhaul if the club stays up, acknowledging a wage bill well below other Big Six rivals.
- Separate reporting claims the board could consider terminating Tudor’s interim deal if results worsen, with alleged contingency plans referenced by an insider cited by Football365.
