Now that the transfer window has slammed shut, we can finally have a real look at what this month looks like for Tottenham Hotspur. The only frustrating thing about this month is the international break, but at least Tottenham Hotspur Women have a match in the meantime.
Tottenham Hotspur men’s squad:
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of the Champions League’s theme song playing in the background. Tottenham have their first Champions League match against match against Villareal at home, meaning it won’t take long for Manor Solomon to reunite with his teammates. He might’ve well just stayed in North London for another two weeks.
We’ve also got an away day at Bodo/Glimt, with Spurs returning to the scene which sealed their place in the Europa League final last year. It’s too bad this match isn’t happening in the dead of winter. I do love seeing snowfall on the pitch.
Speaking of reunions, Mohammed Kudus will face off against his former club when Spurs take on West Ham in the first game after the international break. That should make this derby a little more spicy.
September schedule: at West Ham (13 Sept), Villareal (16 Sept; Champions League), at Brighton (20 Sept), Wolves (28 Sept), at Bodo/Glimt (30 Sept; Champions League)
Tottenham Hotspur women’s squad:
A new season begins for Spurs Women, who ended their preseason with a 3-1 win over Southampton.
They’re coming off a poor 2024-25 campaign that ended with the dismissal of head coach Robert Vilahamn. Now on the touchline is Martin Ho, who was previously an assistant at Everton and Man United’s women squads.
The biggest test for sure will be Manchester City Women towards the end of this month, but they also have a derby against West Ham in just a few days.
September schedule: West Ham (7 Sept), at Everton (14 Sept), Man City (19 Sept)
