15 runs in the last 4 games. Feeling the limits of patience, Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Crystal Palace’s 2000 centre-back Marc Gehi.
Tottenham lost 3-4 to Liverpool in the 34th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Anfield in Liverpool, England on May 1 at 0:30 (Korean time). Tottenham, who failed to score points, failed to close the gap with the top 4 and fell to 6th place behind Liverpool.
There was nowhere else to retreat. What remained of Tottenham, which was eliminated from all cup competitions and confirmed to be irrelevant, was the acquisition of a ticket to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL). In order to settle the atmosphere within the chaotic team, the right to advance to the UCL was needed more than ever, and Liverpool had to catch it.
But the Newcastle nightmare came to mind. The defense was shaken from the beginning of the game and conceded 3 goals in the first half alone. Later, in the second half, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min scored a comeback goal, and at the end of the second half, Son Heung-min’s free kick was scored by Richarlison, creating a dramatic flow. However, just before the end of the game, Diogo Jota scored the winning goal and eventually lost 3-4.안전놀이터
Tottenham’s fourth-place hopes were dashed. This is because both Manchester United and Newcastle, who had previously played, ran away with three points. Now, the difference between Tottenham and ‘fourth’ Manchester United is 9 points. Considering that Tottenham’s remaining schedule is only 4 games left, it is only possible for Manchester United to win only 1 win in the remaining schedule to evaluate the possibility.
In fact, the probability came out to be less than 1%. The American media outlet ‘Five Thirty Eight’ set the probability of Tottenham’s fourth place at less than 1%.
Tottenham’s patience has reached its limit. The defense in particular was a problem. Tottenham has been sluggish with 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 4 games, conceding 15 points. Accordingly, Tottenham set the center back as the top priority reinforcement target in the summer transfer market.
Palace’s main center-tack Gehi was dropped. England’s ‘London Evening Standard’ said, “Tottenham are ready to compete with Arsenal for Gehi’s signing. Both clubs are aiming to strengthen their defense. Tottenham have been interested in Gehi for a long time, and after losing a lot recently, “We need a solid defender. Clement Lenglet is returning to Barcelona and Davinson Sanchez’s future is uncertain.”
