The Fighting Cock (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

Tottenham’s summer 2025 transfer window was full of peaks and troughs, ending with a squad that feels reshaped and refreshed. The arrivals of Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Kōta Takai, Mohammed Kudus, João Palhinha, Xavi Simons, and Randal Kolo Muani addressed key areas, though questions remain about depth at centre-back and the absence of a true left winger. Kudus looks ready to make an immediate impact, Simons is viewed as a special talent, and Palhinha adds vital steel. Luka Vuskovic’s loan shows maturity, while Daniel Levy’s role in the window is still debated. Spurs now look positioned for a top-five challenge. Learn more about your ad choices.

We sat down with Ben Bowman and Kish from Lilywhite Lab to dive into Tottenham’s huge capture of Xavi Simons. We break down what makes him such a special talent, why his ball-carrying, creativity, and mentality set him apart, and how Thomas Frank could build a side around him. We also look at where he fits with Brennan Johnson, Mohammed Kudus, and the rest of Spurs’ attack, what this means for breaking down low blocks, and how the signing changes our ambitions this season. Is this the shift Spurs fans have been waiting for? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Flav, Ricky and debutant Frostie dive into the anger, frustration and déjà vu of yet another missed opportunity, with Daniel Levy once again at the centre of the blame. The lads debate whether Tottenham can ever truly compete under his leadership, and how quickly things can turn from optimism into exasperation. Away from the misery, Frostie talks about his life as a superyacht chef, cooking for football royalty and why kale is a load of rubbish. Learn more about your ad choices.
