Pick your Tottenham player of the season
We asked our Tottenham fan contributor for their four candidates for player of the season and you can now select your top one.
Lucas Bergvall
Bergvall has more than lived up to the promise he showed in pre-season. Not only has he excelled on and off the ball, he has never stopped striving for the win. When more seasoned professionals around him have struggled to lead the team, this young player has risen to the challenge.

Dejan Kulusevski
Deki had a particularly strong start to the campaign and is integral to our pressing style and ball retention. Don't let his time out with injury shorten your memory - the Swede's statistics speak volumes as to his dominance in a Spurs shirt this season.
Djed Spence
A breath of fresh air and a much-needed injection of hope, Spence's performances this season have demonstrated what it means to play without fear. He has been a joy to watch as he took on the opposition with courage and creativity, driving us up the pitch at home and in Europe.
Dominic Solanke
The engine of our team, Solanke simply never gives up. Even when heads behind him in midfield have dropped, he has kept running, kept pressing, kept trying. Some will criticise the number of goals scored, but no-one should underestimate the crucial work Solanke has done off the ball for us this season.

Honourable mentions
Brennan Johnson still receives a mixed reception from some of the Spurs faithful, but you can't argue with his impressive goal contributions this season – not only the number, but the significance of some of the goals too. As for Archie Gray, what an outstanding first season from him - and in an unfamiliar position. Thrown in at the deep end, at times he outperformed his more experienced peers. To dare is to do, indeed.

Celtics-Spurs Trade Report Surfaces Amid Jaylen Brown News
Celtics-Spurs Trade Report Surfaces Amid Jaylen Brown News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs have a window on their hands with Victor Wembanyama. He is one of the league's best young players, and it is expected that he will take little time to be considered among the league's best players. Advertisement This increases the urgency to build the best team around him. San Antonio already started doing this when it acquired De'Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings. The Spurs may try it again with another NBA star, like Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown. There's no telling if the Celtics have made Brown available in trade talks, but if they do, the Spurs have the assets in their arsenal to offer, like the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. What makes that asset even better is that it's the second overall pick in a loaded NBA Draft class. Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7)© Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images NBA insider Chris Mannix revealed on The Kevin O'Connor Show that, should Brown become available, he believes the Spurs may look into acquiring him. He also outlined the deal the Spurs could offer the Celtics for him. Advertisement "If (Brown's) in play, that's someone I think San Antonio will look at and will go after," Mannix said. "That's someone, I think if you're the Spurs, you're willing to give the No. 2 overall pick plus that kind of pu-pu platter of players... in the Kevin Durant conversation." Mannix also made it clear that the Spurs' pursuit of Brown would be contingent on the Celtics' deciding what to do with him. "That's interesting. Jaylen Brown, if he's available... I would expect San Antonio to be among the teams that would make a run at him." However, just one day after this report, the Celtics announced Brown underwent a right knee procedure. He is expected to be ready by training camp, but will this make the Spurs hesitate on inquiring about his availability? That is a decision they now face.

Massive favorite emerges to acquire Kevin Durant as trade rumors percolate
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Kevin Durant is almost certain to be traded this offseason and, as rumors swirl, there is a clear frontrunner to acquire the 36-year-old. Oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook have pinpointed the San Antonio Spurs as massive -160 favorites (61.54 percent implied) to land the future Hall of Famer. The next most likely team to acquire Durant, at least according to the bookies, is the Houston Rockets, who come in at +600 odds (14.29 percent implied). The Knicks are the third-most likely team to acquire Durant via trade, coming in at +800 (11.11 percent) odds as their team hangs in limbo of a critical coaching hire. However, The Post exclusively reported Wednesday that the team is not pursuing such a deal. Kevin Durant next team odds Team Odds Spurs -160 Rockets +600 Suns +800 Knicks +800 Timberwolves +850 Thunder 25/1 Raptors 30/1 Magic 30/1 Heat 30/1 Mavericks 30/1 Cavaliers 30/1 76ers 35/1 Odds via DraftKings There have been loads of reports linking Durant to the Spurs, with some speculating he has made it clear that he wants to be traded to San Antonio this offseason. Should the Spurs land him, they would undoubtedly be among the most intriguing young teams in the NBA and could make a massive leap to contender status in a crowded Western Conference. Victor Wembanyama could certainly use a Kevin Durant-type mentor. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The Spurs are currently 14/1 to win the NBA Finals in 2026, which is hinting at a massive trade, as well as usual standout production from unicorn center Victor Wembanyama in his third campaign. Wembanyama's season ended early due to a blood clot last year. Betting on the NBA? San Antonio had also been linked to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who may also be available in a trade this summer. It is expected, though, that Antetokounmpo won't be traded this offseason, and that situation could be dragged into the regular season before teams look to load up for potential playoff runs, similar to what the Heat did with Jimmy Butler this past season when they traded him to the Warriors. Why Trust New York Post Betting Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he's showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons. While constantly betting long shots, his return on investment is 30.15 percent since 2022.

Raducanu and Boulter laugh off Queen's doubles defeat with singles to come
With a place in the semi-finals on her debut appearance at Queen's hanging in the balance, Emma Raducanu flitted forward towards the net in an attempt to pluck a floating ball out of the air. She has effortlessly dispatched similar balls thousands of times, but on a game point while a set down, her forehand drive volley landed closer to the back fence than the court. Normally, Raducanu would react with frustration to such an easy miss on an important point. This, however, was only doubles. As she turned away and comically planted her palm on her face, Raducanu could not hide her smile. To her left, Katie Boulter, her doubles partner, laughed out loud. Advertisement Related: Emma Raducanu 'locked in' after straight-sets win at Queen's Club It was that kind of day for Britain's two best women's tennis players as their enjoyable time as partners at Queen's was ended by Erin Routliffe and Kichenok. The imperious first seeds closed them out 6-2, 7-5 despite a spirited fightback from the home pairing. Although they were outplayed by a superior duo, Boulter and Raducanu were smiling until the end. Two days after they secured a victory in their first match together, Boulter and Raducanu returned to a heaving court one, where the significant interest generated by their partnership was again not reflected in an appropriate court assignment. Instead of the 7,700 strong Andy Murray Arena, they played on the cosy Court One in front of a full crowd of 1,000, with thousands of interested fans unable to watch. Once again, it was not available for the BBC to broadcast. This is not the first time on either the WTA or ATP tours that broadcast contractual obligations have led to a high-profile doubles match being held on a smaller court. Advertisement Those who were able to watch witnessed the immense skill demonstrated by Routliffe, a former doubles No 1 and 2023 US Open champion ranked No 3, and Kichenok, the reigning US Open doubles champion. They pounced on their opponents' inexperience, with the imposing Routliffe dominating the net while Kichenok remained tidy on both the baseline and the net until the end. Impressively, Raducanu and Boulter fought back from a break down to make the second set a competitive tussle, but they were well beaten in the end. Even in an era where most top singles players do not take doubles seriously, Raducanu's aversion to doubles has been interesting. Queen's marks just her second doubles tournament and their first-round defeat of Wu Fang-hsien and Jiang Xinyu was her first doubles win. Having spent much of her young career struggling to stay fit, adding doubles to her load has not been a realistic option at times, but experiences like this may highlight the value of the discipline. Doubles allows players to sharpen other parts of their games – particularly their volleying, returning and serving – in match scenarios without the pressure of immediately trying to implement them in singles. It also just provides some levity and enjoyment in an otherwise bruising, gruelling sport, something Raducanu has struggled with. With the British team now a consistent contender in the Billie Jean King Cup, an established partnership between Boulter and Raducanu would be an asset. Although this outing ended in defeat, Wednesday was still a good day for both players. After a little over an hour of sharpening their games under match conditions and witth ample laughs, they left the court more prepared for their significant challenges. On Thursday, Raducanu will attempt to maintain her momentum after her opening-round win over Cristina Bucsa by tackling Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia. Boulter, meanwhile, will face the 21-year-old world No 10 Diana Shnaider. Later on Wednesday, Sonay Kartal, the British No 3, lost 6-1, 6-3 to the No 8 seed Amanda Anisimova. Kartal had achieved the biggest win of her career in the first round, beating world No 16 Daria Kasatkina in three sets, but here she was overpowered by the stellar American.
