Tottenham Hotspur are fighting for their Premier League lives — but that hasn’t stopped the club from planning ahead.

Despite sitting 18th in the table, a 1-0 win over Wolves at the weekend offered a rare glimmer of hope. Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival has steadied the ship, and with West Ham and Nottingham Forest also winning, every point is absolutely critical.

Why Tavernier Makes Perfect Sense for Spurs

While the survival battle rages on, Spurs’ board are already eyeing summer reinforcements. According to TEAMtalk, Rangers captain James Tavernier is firmly on their radar as a free transfer target.

The 34-year-old is out of contract at Ibrox this summer, and Tottenham have emerged as serious contenders for his signature — though Tavernier’s decision reportedly hinges on whether Spurs stay up.

And honestly? You can see the logic here.

Pedro Porro has been carrying Spurs’ right flank virtually alone for the past couple of seasons. Tavernier wouldn’t come in to displace him — he’d be the natural backup that’s been missing.

Goals, Assists and Creativity — Tavernier Brings More Than Cover

With 16 goals and four assists across all competitions this season, Tavernier is far more than a utility option. His delivery, eye for goal, and attacking instincts make him a genuine threat — particularly in cup competitions where the defensive demands are less relentless.

Yes, his positioning at the back can be exploited at the top level. But as a rotation option and squad depth piece on a free transfer? That’s a no-brainer if Spurs stay up.
