You won’t run away from it. This season has been a complete disaster for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou’s team is 14th in the Premier League from the FA Cup and has a chance to win the Europa League, but it feels incredibly slim.
Plus, the Australian had to deal with this year’s pile of injuries, but he was on a nearly full-powered team on Sunday and still had one that lost to Fulham.
So, following the 19th loss at all competitions over the weekend, it was not a major surprise to see many managers linking to Lily White’s work, including Andnii Laora of Bournemouth.
The Spaniard did a great job on the South Coast, but what would his dream Spurs lineup look like if his dream was appointed in the summer and allowed to bring some new signatures?

GK -Guglielmo Vicario
GK -Guglielmo Vicario
Perhaps a few months ago, shortly after Antonin Kinski’s impressive debut against Liverpool, this place was at least controversial.
But over time, the young Czech shotstopper made the kind of mistakes a young goalkeeper could have made, and since returning from his injury, Guglielmo Viario reminded everyone how good he is.
The Italian is a great shot stopper and he can make weird mistakes from time to time, but he will definitely remain the Spurs number one next season, regardless of the dugout.
2
RB -DJed Spence
RB -DJed Spence
The first outfield player in the lineup is Djed Spence, one of the few who will come out of this season with his head held high.
Since he was given the right opportunity to prove his worth in December, the right back of the “swashback ring” dubbed by Ian Wright was one of Lily White’s best players.
Like Pedro Polo, the British can be fatal to attack, but unlike the Spaniards, he is also trusted to do the defensive side of the role and do it at a high standard.

CB – Marc Guéhi
CB – Marc Guéhi
Fans may not want to hear this, but based on recent reports it appears that Christian Romero may be on his way to Real Madrid in the summer.
But while Argentina will certainly be a loss, Iraora could replace him with the incredible Mark Gehhi, who was eligible for a £70 million bid from the Winter Window Spurs.
The British may not have the pedigree of World Cup winners, but despite being just 24 years old, the 6-foot Titan has already accumulated 206 first-team appearances throughout his career, of which 145 have come to the palace, 59 in Swansea City and two to Chelsea.
Moreover, he is an integral part of the English side and has reached the final of the European Championships in the summer, so he is clearly a man who thrives in high pressure situations, which exactly could be needed by the Lily White people.

CB – Micky Van de Ven
CB – Micky Van de Ven
Alongside Guéhi, there is the sensational Micky Van de Ven. Mickey Vanben is undoubtedly one of Tottenham’s most important players.
Describing talent scout Jacek Kulig as “complete and dominant,” the Dutch International is the perfect defender for teams who want to play offensive and expressive football, as they can stop fighting back when other centre-backs simply can’t.
Right now there are still serious question marks about his ability to maintain health, but you have to live in hope, right?
5
LB -Destiny Udogie
LB -Destiny Udogie
Finishing the defense is another player who fought the injury, Destiny Udogie.
It’s safe to say that Italian International hasn’t had the best campaign this season, but we must not forget how good he was in his first year with the club.
On 23/24, “Monster” born in Verona Journalist Travis Levisonwith 30 contestants, scored two goals and provided three assists, becoming the first Tottenham player to be nominated for the Premier League Young Player Award.
So it makes sense for Iraaura to give him another season and see how he is carrying in the new system.
6
DM -Angel Gomes
DM -Angel Gomes
Moving into the middle, the second new face in the lineup is the face of Losc Lille Star Angel Gomes.
The British contract with the French side will expire this summer. This means he’s now available for free, and the Spurs keep their praise for him unsecret.
As dubbed by former manager Jocelyn Gourvennec, it’s easy to understand why North Londoners want to sign “special” 24-year-olds.
For example, FBREF has made its top 1% of the European top five league midfielders, where expected assist goals and penalty kicks won, top 3% of goal-creating actions from take-ons, top 5% of passes to penalty areas, top 8% of key passes, all top 8% per 90.
7
CM – James Madison
CM – James Madison
Slotting right in front of Gomez is a fellow British man James Madison.
The former Leicester City star can sometimes be a very frustrating player. He’s someone who can fade out of the game, but when he shoots songs, the midfielder is undoubtedly one of the most creative and dangerous people in the Premier League.
For example, in just 38 appearances this season, the Coventry-born star has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists.
8
CM – Dejan Kulusevski
CM – Dejan Kulusevski
Finishing the midfield is Dejan Crucevsky, undoubtedly the best player at Tottenham.
The “world class” Swedes, initially signed as wingers, are dubbed by Krig, but this season is in the form of scintillation, with many of them still in the middle of the park.

RW -Antoine Semenyo
RW -Antoine Semenyo
Starting from the right wing, it’s Antoine Cementho, one of Iraara’s star men this season.
The “unplayable” Bournemouth winger dubbed by journalist Edoaron has been incredible form this season, earning a tally of nine goals and five assists.
That is, the 25-year-old, who described analyst Ben Matinson as owning a “strong ambi pedal ball strike,” averages goal involvement every 2.28 games for teams outside the traditional “Big Six.”
10
st-Dominique Solanke
st-Dominique Solanke
The start of the lead is Dominique Solanke, the club’s current record signature.
The former Bournemouth man had to endure for some time due to injuries this season, but he looked great when he was on the pitch.
For example, in 33 appearances, the Basestoke-born monster scored 11 goals and provided eight assists.
11
LW -MATHYS TEL
LW -MATHYS TEL
Finally, instead of club captain’s son Heung-Min, it will be the promising Mathys Tel that starts on the left next season.
Currently, this requires the activation of a £45 million option in the French loan agreement, and honestly, he hasn’t blown people up so far.
However, the club viewed him as a long-term option, and it appears that anyone with a bag based on his form last season or a bag with potential, which certainly appears to be the case.
For example, in a first team appearance of 41, in a total of 1,406 minutes, Kulig dubbed the “surprising” advance scored 10 goals and provided six assists.
Moreover, unlike Son, Tel is a player that Iraola can continue to build his team for years to come.
