Lewis Holtby vs Gylfi Sigurdsson - The statistics

The amount of quality in the Tottenham midfield at present is embarrassing, and Gareth Bale isn't even in the squad any more! Andre Villas-Boas holds the likes of Aaron Lennon, Andros Townsend, Nacer Chadli and Erik Lamela on the wings, while Sandro, Paulinho and Etienne Capoue hold the fort in the central areas. Then, the north London outfit hold such names as Christian Eriksen and Mousa Dembele pushing on, while Lewis Holtby and Gylfi Sigurdsson also battle it out for a place in the side. And it is the latter two I want to concentrate on, and figure out who has the better statistics.

10 forwards Tottenham should be looking to sign in January

With Emmanuel Adebayor rusting in the reserves it leaves just Jermain Defoe and new boy Roberto Soldad to lead the Tottenham attack. Here are 10 strikers that I believe Andre Villas-Boas should be moving for when the January transfer window opens.

Arsenal and Tottenham could miss out on striker with 64 international caps

It is rare that a top forward is without a club come the start of the season. When Ciprian Marica left Schalke last season he would have been confident that he would have a new club, starting a new chapter in his career before the season had started. Arsenal and Spurs were both reportedly interested in his services, but neither were able to secure a move for the Romanian. Now talkSPORT are reporting that the north London pair may miss out on the goal-getter as La Liga side Rayo Vallecano look set to make a move.

Where would Juan Mata fit in at Tottenham?

It seems extraordinary that Chelsea would even think about letting their Player of the Year go, but it seems as though life isn't all that sweet for Juan Mata under Jose Mourinho. There were rumours throughout the summer about the Spaniard's future, and again when he missed the first few games of the season, but the Express are suggesting that Tottenham will be in with a bid in January to rid him of his Stamford Bridge woes. But where would he fit into an already packed midfield?

It appears that the signing of Roberto Soldado wasn't enough for Andre Villas-Boas this summer, and he is in search for another striker. The Mirror are reporting that AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy is the man that the Portuguese boss is after, and a fee of over £20m may be necessary to draft him into north London.

Tottenham Striker Looking For A New Home

It wasn't so long ago that Emmanuel Adebayor was scoring goals for one of the biggest clubs on the planet - Real Madrid - in front of the near-90,000 spectators in attendance at the Santiago Bernabeu. Now, however, as Andre Villas-Boas moulds his Premier League squad into one of his liking, he is ready to send the Togolese forward on loan - to England's second division, according to the Mirror.

Serie A Side Want Tottenham Midfield Duo - The Statistics

The futures of some Tottenham players have been thrown in doubt, and if you believe talkSPORT then you'll be expecting both Lewis Holtby and Sandro to be on the radar of Serie A side Roma. It seems extraordinary that Andre Villas-Boas would let either of the pairing go, although it's not like Spurs are in any shortage of central midfielders. But just how important are the couple to Spurs?

3 Centre-Backs Tottenham Should Look To Sign In January

Tottenham had one of the finest transfer window of the summer, in my eyes. Although they lost Gareth Bale to the money and Champions League status of Real Madrid, they tightened up the remainder of their squad and added a wave of talent over the top. One of those signings was Vlad Chiriches, a Romanian centre-back who is hoping to plug Spurs' dodgy defence. But even with the 23-year-old, the defence doesn't look the sturdiest, so here are three players who I believe would be decent recruits in January.

Statistical Preview: Tottenham Tackle Norwich As They Look To Overcome Derby Defeat

A battling performance from Tottenham was not enough to prevent them slipping to a 1-0 defeat to local rivals Arsenal in what was considered as perhaps something of an upset given Tottenham’s moves in the transfer window this summer. Chairman Daniel Levy, Franco Baldini and Andre Villas-Boas have moved quickly and confidently in the spending of the fee received for Gareth Bale but it was evident on this display that their new-look side will require further time to gel before reaching their potential.

The Importance Of Tomas Rosicky To Arsenal

The shaggy looking 32-year-old Czech Republic international perhaps hasn't enjoyed the career he would have wanted at Arsenal, with all the injuries he's suffered since his arrival back in 2006 from Borussia Dortmund. Now, I've picked up on Rosicky's importance fairly early on but I haven't yet had the platform to write an article on my thoughts. But the time has come, so sit back and hear my thoughts as to why Rosicky is as important to Arsenal as any other player on the pitch. Unless you've already realised this of course - it's surprising the amount of people that haven't in all honesty.

A Look At The Defender Who Reportedly Turned Down Tottenham This Summer - The Statistics

For me, being a fan of the lower leagues, I find it refreshing when a player refuses to rise to the temptations of the millions of pounds that a Premier League club is willing to throw at them, especially if it means them sitting on the bench. And although this is a completely different case, my respect for Nicolas Spolli has certainly risen - mainly because I had never heard of him beforehand. The Catania defender has apparently told the press, as reported by talkSPORT, that he snubbed interest from Tottenham this summer to continue his time in Serie A.

Is Roberto Soldado The Real Deal? A Look At The Tottenham Striker's Start To The Season

With Jermaine Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor the only real options up top last season for Andre Villas-Boas and his Tottenham side, it was up to Gareth Bale to score the goals that saw them challenge for fourth spot. Although they eventually lost out, and then lost Bale to Real Madrid on deadline day, Spurs have a new man at the peak of their attacking unit. His name is Roberto Soldado.

Do These Midfielders Have A Future At Tottenham?

When a Premier League team, or any team for that matter, recruits an influx of new players, there are always going to be losers. Whether it is the club who signs them as they turn out to be utter rubbish on the field, or whether it's the player himself whose reputation takes a battering, life in football is never a fairytale. In this case, however, it has been two players that were already at the club - Gylfi Sigurdsson and Lewis Holtby  at Tottenham.
