Tottenham Hotspur could be without up to five players for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Ferencvaros at the Groupama Arena in Budapest.

Radu Dragusin is suspended after being sent off in the seventh-minute of Spurs’ Europa League opener against Qarabag last week (3-0 win), while Richarlison (muscle) and Wilson Odobert (hamstring) remain sidelined with injuries.

Destiny Udogie was taken off at half time in Tottenham’s 3-0 Premier League win at Manchester United on Sunday with a thigh problem, while Son Heung-min missed out entirely due to a hamstring issue, and both players are doubtful for Thursday’s contest.

Ange Postecoglou will consider making some changes to his starting lineup, with Archie Gray potentially being recalled at right-back at the expense of Pedro Porro, while Ben Davies is set to start at left-back regardless as to whether Udogie is deemed fit to feature.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven – the latter of whom produced a barnstorming run through Man United’s midfield to provide an assist for Tottenham’s opening goal last weekend – are the only two first-team centre-back options available to Postecoglou and are therefore set to continue in the first XI.

Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall will all be pushing for starts in midfield, with Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison potentially given a rest, while Brennan Johnson – who has scored in each of his last four appearances – Timo Werner and Mikey Moore are all set to battle for starts in attack with Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Gray, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Tottenham would be willing to spend €40 million on Premier League winger

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian international has attracted the attention of the North London club with his impressive performances for the Cherries. According to Fichajes, Tottenham are impressed with his displays and they are ready to make a move for him in the near future.

The report states that Tottenham would be willing to spend around €40 million in order to get the deal done. Semenyo is highly rated in the Premier League and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could be a key player for Tottenham in the long run. However, they are already well stocked in the right-wing department and it remains to be seen whether they accommodate the Ghanaian.

Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski will be ahead of him in the pecking order and the 24-year-old is unlikely to want to sit on the bench at Tottenham. He is a key player for Bournemouth and he has scored three goals in six league games for them this season. He will look to continue his development with regular football with the Cherries.

There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for a bigger club and Semenyo will feel that he will get plenty of opportunities to join a top team in the near future if he can continue his development with regular football. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Tottenham could certainly use attacking reinforcements, but a right winger would not make a lot of sense. They should look to invest in another reliable goal scorer who can share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke and support him in the attack.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him at the end of the season.
