A select round-up of the latest news relating to Tottenham Hotspur…
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Aston Villa this weekend to take on Remi Garde’s struggling side.
Aston Villa are currently bottom of the Premier League, nine points below the safety line with just nine matches remaining to secure their top-flight future, and if Spurs inflict yet another defeat on them this afternoon their cause will be all but over.
In early team news, the BBC reports that Tottenham will assess left-back Danny Rose ahead of the clash, with the defender missing the recent Europa League match with Borussia Dortmund due to a sore calf.
The North London club are also hopeful of welcoming back midfield pair Dele Alli and Eric Dier as they bid to get back on track after losing 3-0 on Thursday.
In other news, the Sun claims Tottenham are planning a £25million summer bid for Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson.
This is a somewhat leftfield suggestion considering the player’s importance to the Reds and the fact that new manager Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to want to cash in on one of the club’s key players. But the Sun suggests Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy knows he must make a massive statement in the transfer window as he bids to build on Mauricio Pochettino’s recent success.
