Summertime acquisition The Tottenham team’s most recent training video, which was posted on the social media site X, features Ashley Phillips and his teammates going through a workout.

Over the past few days, there have been some encouraging advancements regarding injuries. Brendan Johnson, who left the game against Nottingham Forest due to a head injury, is anticipated to play against Everton after being seen practicing with the team (Sky Sports).

Regarding two long-term absences, there have also been some encouraging updates. According to a recent report from Football Insider, Ryan Sessegnon and Micky van de Ven should return to action in January.

Ashley Phillips is recuperating from an injury.

Since the international break last month, Phillips, who transferred from Blackburn Rovers to the North Londoners, has been sidelined due to an ankle injury.

Although the 18-year-old has not yet made his Spurs senior debut, Ange Postecoglou had already placed him on the bench several times before his injury problems.

The teenager was spotted warming up in the Hotspur Way gym with the rest of the Tottenham team, suggesting that a comeback is now imminent.

Due to Udogie’s suspension for the match against Everton, Ben Davies may start at left defense, which may allow Phillips, if the 18-year-old is cleared to play, to start alongside Romero at center defense.

That is highly unlikely, though, as Postecoglou will almost certainly opt to start Emerson Royal—who has more experience—instead of Udogie.

In the January transfer window, Eric Dier, a defender for Tottenham Hotspur, is being pursued by Italian champions Napoli.

Next month is anticipated to see Spurs activity. While finding a new center back is crucial, Dier, one of their own center backs, is probably going to leave the team as well. The most recent team to enter the race to sign the Tottenham player is Napoli.

Eric Dier is being pursued by Napoli from Tottenham.

For many years, Eric Dier was one of Tottenham’s most vital players, but after Ange Postecoglou joined in the summer, everything was different.

Since the beginning of the season, it has been evident that the Spurs manager does not think highly of Dier. Having played less than 150 minutes of football across all competitions this season, the Englishman is surplus to requirements.

In the center of Tottenham’s defense, full-backs like Emerson Royal and Ben Davies have been preferred over Dier, which is why it would be best for all parties if Dier left in January.

Dier has been linked to AS Roma under Jose Mourinho, and Turkish powerhouses Fenerbahce are rumored to be interested as well.

Il Mattino now says Dier has been added to Napoli’s shortlist in advance of the January transfer window, the Serie A champions.

Dier’s current Tottenham contract expires in the summer of 2020, so it seems unlikely that Napoli would want to sign him on a loan, according to the outlet.

Dier moves too slowly for the system of Ange Postecoglou.

Under coaches like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, who both liked to sit deep and invite pressure, Eric Dier had his best years at Tottenham.

The philosophy of Ange Postecoglou is entirely different. Every game, the Australian plays a high line, and Spurs will be vulnerable if his defenders aren’t quick to recover.

Speaking about Eric Dier’s circumstances last month, Chris Sutton stated, “The reason he isn’t playing at center-back is because he can’t run, he doesn’t have pace.” Dier makes £85,000 a week (Spotrac).

Moving on is the best course of action for all parties involved, and all signs point to a departure during the January transfer window.
