THOMAS FRANK SLAMS BOOING FANS: "THEY CAN'T BE TRUE TOTTENHAM FANS"

Thomas Frank called the fan booing of Vicario 'unacceptable' after Spurs' 10th home loss of 2025. He insists the team and fans "need each other" to turn around the poor home form.

"Nothing Without Fans": Frank Addresses Booing After Fulham Loss

On Sunday, the Blues played better at Stamford Bridge until Caicedo was sent off in the 36th minute for a bad tackle on Mikel Merino. Before that, they kept their London rivals from getting ahead.

If Chelsea had lost, they would have been nine points behind Arsenal, making it very hard to win the title.

Even with only ten players, Enzo Maresca's team took the lead with a header from Trevor Chalobah early in the second half.

Merino scored for Arsenal just before the hour mark, but Chelsea hung on despite the tough situation.

We were the better team in every way, whether we had 11 or 10 players, James said.

This shows where we are and what we're trying to do. We've improved a lot, getting good results one after another, and I think we proved that.

Chelsea's strong performance was different from the two previous games this season when they lost to Manchester United and Brighton after Robert Sanchez and Chalobah were sent off in the first half.

"I'm proud," James said. Our team is young, but we competed against the top team in the league. We weren't scared and tried to win.

We knew it would be hard, and we felt we could have won. It's tough to only get a point after playing 60 minutes with 10 players against the league leaders.

For Arsenal, who are now five points ahead of Manchester City, it was a rough end to a week that included wins over Tottenham and Bayern Munich.

"It's been a big week for us," said Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, who came off the bench in the second half after recovering from a knee injury.

We had some important games and got some good results. This was another big test. We wanted to win here and finish the week strong, but it was a hard fight.

They fought hard, and we didn't do enough to win.

£35M LOSS: ANALYZING THE COLLAPSE OF HARVEY ELLIOTT'S MANDATORY VILLA TRANSFER

Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa is ending early after just six months. The mandatory £35M purchase clause is now unlikely to be activated.

Emery Confirms Elliott's Imminent Aston Villa Exit

Harvey Elliott's time at Aston Villa might be cut short. Just six months after joining the club, he might be leaving in January.

The attacking midfielder came from Liverpool on a season-long loan on deadline day in September.

The deal with Villa included a requirement to buy him, plus clauses about selling him later or buying him back.

But, Elliott hasn't played much since joining Villa, even though they won against other teams in the Premier League and Europe to get him.

Unai Emery said that the club is looking at what to do with the 22-year-old before the next transfer window opens next month.

This comes after Elliott didn't travel with the team for their Europa League game against Basel on Thursday.

Emery talked about Elliott's future at Villa in a press conference before a game.

He said, We're talking with him about his situation.

He's not with us. We hope we can find the best solution for him and for us.

I respect him as a player and as a person. He's training well, but there's a situation with him.

Hopefully, we can find a solution for him to play often and continue his career, either with us or somewhere else.

Elliott has played in only five games for Villa since joining, scoring once.

His last game was a short four-minute appearance against Feyenoord in the Europa League in October.

He hasn't been in the squad for any of Villa's last seven Premier League games.

Emery added, I've spoken with him two or three times about the situation.

First, my decision and also the situation. He's on loan with us, but he's not really contributing to us with a permanent contract.

This is a setback for Liverpool.

Liverpool was supposed to get £35 million when Elliott's loan to Villa became a permanent deal.

But the requirement to buy him kicks in only if he plays in 10 games for the club.

So, the Reds will likely miss out on that money this summer since he's only played about half that many games.

If Elliott leaves Villa, he'll likely have to return to Anfield in January.

The former England under-21 player played twice for Liverpool this season before being loaned out.

FIFA rules say players can only play for two clubs in one season.

Elliott could get around this rule by joining a club in a league that runs from summer to winter, like those in the MLS.

BUNDESLIGA STAR: ANALYZING NATHANIEL BROWN'S FIT FOR TOTTENHAM'S DEFENSE

An analytical look at Nathaniel Brown's Bundesliga performance shows why he is a top target for Spurs. Can they beat out three major rivals for the defender?

Brown Could Be the Long-Term Answer for Tottenham Left-Back

According to a recent report from journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham Hotspur will have a tough time signing Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. Spurs will have to compete with Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United, and Arsenal to get the German defender next year.

Brown has played well on Frankfurt’s left side this season. The 22-year-old has one goal and four assists in 20 games for the German club in all competitions.

The German player has shown he can defend well, with 30 tackles, 15 blocks, ten interceptions, and 16 clearances in the Bundesliga. He also passes the ball well from the left, with an 81.3% pass success rate in the German top league (stats via fbref.com).

His contract with the German club ends in the summer of 2030, so it won’t be easy for Tottenham to sign him next year.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Manager Thomas Frank Sign Brown?

Brown is a good tackler and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when the other team is attacking and is also a good passer.

The German player can score and assist goals from the left. Brown is mainly a left-back but can also play as a left-sided midfielder if needed. We’ll see if he can handle the Premier League’s physicality and intensity if Spurs sign him next year.

Brown would make Tottenham manager Thomas Frank’s defence better and deeper. He could earn a regular spot in the first team at the North London club in the years ahead.

At 22, Brown could become a star in English soccer if he keeps improving each season. Overall, Frank should sign him in 2026.
