tottenham hotspur Supporters will take comfort from their team’s outstanding performance Champions League In the season, they rushed into the top eight and ended the group stage, thereby avoiding unnecessary additional elimination rounds.
But this success is hampered by many problems Thomas FrankThe team faced a domestic front, being eliminated from the League Cup and FA Cup, while flattering and cheating in the league. Premier Leagueranked 14th after 23 games.
Although ENIC Group has given the green light to Connor Gallagher and left-back Souza this month, there is still interest in the new winger, but the recent Raheem Sterling Probably not the solution.
Tottenham looking for new winger
There’s no doubt that Spurs fans are collectively fed up. Any joy from last year’s monumental effort to win the Europa League was tempered by a return to miserable form. The chances of winning trophies this season are slim, and hopes of competing in Europe next year are dwindling.
It’s hard to see how Sterling will make a significant impact offensively. Although the England winger became a free agent when his contract with Chelsea was terminated this month, he was flattered to join Arsenal on loan.
The 31-year-old Earn up to £325,000 a week At Stamford Bridge, he wants something not far from that figure.
As things stand, Sterling looks to be the winger most likely to bolster Frank’s side this winter.
However, According to Miguel Delaney of The IndependentTottenham prepare to compete with Inter Milan for Etihad winger Moussa DiabyHe is open to a return to Europe after leaving Aston Villa for Saudi Arabia in July 2024 for a fee of £50m.
Tottenham hope to sign the 26-year-old before the February 2 deadline, but with Inter Milan considered favorites and time running out, technical director John Langer will need to roll up his sleeves.
Why Spurs should sign Diaby
Diaby has only played in the Premier League for two seasons, and although it was not all sunshine and rainbows during his time at Aston Villa, the France international scored 10 goals and contributed 11 assists in the 2023/24 season, helping Villa achieve excellent results in the Champions League.
While Sterling has more pedigree in the English game, it bears repeating that Diaby is still only 26 and has been praised for his “lethal” instincts in the final third Talent Scout Jacek Kulig.
A move to Tottenham could be the perfect career move for him, giving him the potential to become a talisman for a team looking for artistic inspiration on the attacking side.
His impressive link-up form and ability across both sides further highlights Tottenham’s interest, which could be a priority as Frank attempts to resume his Spurs tenure, given that Mohamed Kudus will miss the next few months with a hamstring problem.
Diaby, who is Was once praised as “fearless” Reported by “Chronicle” editor Aaron Stokes, he did not score frequently in the Saudi Professional League, but he played an important role in organizing the attack, sending 27 assists and scoring 8 goals in 53 games.
However, looking at the Frenchman’s performance in his final season in the Premier League may provide a more accurate gauge of how he will impact the north London side, especially when comparing that information to Raheem Sterling’s performances at Arsenal last year.

Sterling was ever a threat, so purposeful and cunning when he got into City’s dangerous areas. He won everything under Guardiola.
But Sterling’s days are over, and signing him wouldn’t give Frank’s program the hit it needs. However, Diaby still has plenty of mileage left in the tank.
