Tottenham faces PSG in Super Cup amid transfer talk and injuries

Tottenham travels to Udine to face Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, a high stakes opener to the season that will test the new era under Thomas Frank. PSG finished last season as Europe’s best team and reached the Club World Cup final in the United States, a benchmark Tottenham will try to meet in a one-off match that could set the tone for the months ahead.

The press conference in Udine featured coach Frank along with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and experienced defender Ben Davies. Reporters asked about transfer interest in Savinho from Manchester City and Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, while also seeking updates on whether Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie will be fit to play. Alasdair Gold, a Tottenham correspondent, reported live from the Bluenergy Stadium ahead of open training.”

Player outlook ahead of the game

Tottenham faces a balancing act between short term momentum and long term planning. Pursuing Savinho and Eze signals a willingness to invest in speed and creativity, but deals carry financial risk that could unsettle the squad if not handled carefully. The Super Cup provides a stage to demonstrate the value of those potential signings, even if they are not yet on the field.

Injuries add another layer of complexity. If Solanke or Udogie miss out, Tottenham must rely on depth they are still building. The outcome in Udine could influence how aggressively the club presses for transfers in the final days of the window and how quickly new faces are integrated into a demanding schedule.

The result could steer Tottenham’s next moves and define their early season identity.
