Tottenham’s January Makeover: Marmoush and Ter Stegen on the Shortlist to Save the Season
29 December 2025
Tottenham's January Makeover
A British newspaper report published Monday reveals Tottenham's plan for a mini upheaval in January to rescue the season and put the club back on track.
Despite finishing last season in the Europa League and taking part in the Champions League this campaign, Spurs' results have been wildly inconsistent and far from what their fans expect.
According to The Sun, Tottenham have shortlisted three players to bolster the squad during the January window.
At the top of the list is Egyptian winger Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, given his limited appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are nearing a deal with Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in January, which could curb Marmoush's chances.
The report adds that Tottenham are also weighing a goalkeeper move, tracking the German stopper Marc-André ter Stegen, as his order in Barcelona's goal line slips and he wants regular football before the World Cup.
The list also includes a Porto striker, but his 87 million pound release clause could complicate the deal.
Kenan Yildiz, a Turkish international who plies his trade for Juventus, is also among the candidates.
Tottenham sit eleventh in the Premier League after their narrow win over Crystal Palace.
Punchline: Tottenham's transfer plan is so sharp it could cut through the January frost—the only thing sharpening up is the fans' nerves.
Punchline 2: If Spurs miss again in January, at least the window will give us a season-long sitcom—The Reboot That Couldn’t Find Its Script.
