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.

Micky van de Ven says Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham sacking was ‘strange', expects Thomas Frank as successor
Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has described the club's decision to sack head coach Ange Postecoglou as 'strange'. Postecoglou was dismissed last week, 16 days after winning the Europa League — the club's first trophy in 17 years — with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao and on the second anniversary of his appointment. Advertisement The Athletic reported on Monday that Spurs had made contact with Brentford over appointing Thomas Frank as Postecoglou's successor. The Australian, 59, guided Spurs to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League during his first season in charge. But their form plummeted last term, and they lost 22 times on the way to 17th place in the top flight — their worst finish in the Premier League era. Van de Ven was one of Postecoglou's first signings and the centre-back questioned the decision to sack him after scoring for the Netherlands in an 8-0 victory over Malta on Tuesday evening. 'He is the first coach in a long time who has won a trophy and has had success at Spurs,' the 24-year-old told Voetbal Zone. 'So if you look at it that way, it is of course a strange choice. 'It is a choice from the club about which we (the players) have little to say, so we will see what happens now. Of course, we see some rumours about the Brentford head coach (Frank), who it will probably be. So yes, a choice from the club about which we have little to say. 'I think many of the players got along with (Postecoglou) well. He is the first coach who has brought success to Spurs in a long time. That also shows that he has a certain quality. That also means that he has a winning mentality. 100 per cent. 'From that, you would of course say that it is strange that he was fired. What we have shown in the Premier League is, of course, unacceptable. That would, of course, have multiple factors, but that would not only have been the coach.' Talks are ongoing between Spurs and Brentford around Frank about a £10million ($13.5m) compensation fee and which members of his backroom staff would join the Dane in moving across London.

Viktor Gyokeres 'furious' as Sporting ignore gentlemen's agreement amid Arsenal and Man Utd enquiries
Viktor Gyokeres is 'furious' that the 'gentleman's agreement' that allows him to leave Sporting this summer has not been adhered to. According to reports in Portugal, it is believed that the 27-year-old Swede has a deal with his current employers that will let him depart the Jose Alvalade Stadium should an offer of €60million plus €10m (£58m) arrive. That, however, has reportedly been disregarded by Sporting president Frederico Varandas, who is thought to be holding out for around €80m (£67m) instead. That has resulted in Gyokeres feeling 'furious' that a promise to him made at the beginning of the season has been broken. Furthermore, Gyokeres has removed reference to Sporting in his Instagram bio, although he has also taken down any mention of Sweden or his sponsor, Nike. Arsenal and Manchester United are the suitors most heavily linked to the former Coventry City striker, who scored 54 goals in 52 games in all competitions last term. It had previously been reported that the Swede's contract contained a release clause of €100m (£84m), but it was revealed that offers would not need to reach that amount to convince Sporting to sell their star striker. That was ratified in a pre-season meeting between Gyokeres and Sporting's hierarchy, namely Hugo Viana, their former director of football and now of Manchester City, and Varandas. Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal have also registered their interest in Gyokeres with their pursuit of Napoli's Victor Osimhen stalling, although it is believed that no club has presented a formal offer to Sporting.

Sporting president issues shock Viktor Gyokeres statement amid transfer uncertainty
Sporting president Frederico Varandas has issued an extraordinary statement regarding the future of Viktor Gyokeres. According to reports in Portugal, the 27-year-old Swede believes he has a deal with his current employers that will let him depart the Jose Alvalade Stadium should an offer of €60million plus €10m (£58m) arrive. Advertisement That, however, has now been publicly disregarded by Sporting chief Varandas, which has reportedly left Gyokeres feeling 'furious' that a promise to him made at the beginning of the season has been broken. After 'days' of speculation, Varandas has moved to clarify the club's stance and asking price for Gyokeres, and taken aim at the player's agent. "I tried to take three days off, I came back yesterday,' he said, via Portuguese journalist Sebastiao Sousa-Pinto. 'I saw so much information and counter-information that it is only fair to come and explain the process. 'It started last year, when the season ended and Sporting became national champions. During the transfer market we saw that he was going to stay because there was no offer. The agent spoke to us to add some clauses. [Sporting's former sporting director] Hugo Viana, as he always did, and very well, managed the relationship with the agents. Advertisement 'One of the agent's biggest concerns was whether we would demand the termination clause. Hugo Viana negotiated with the agents over several meetings until the agent demanded the presence of the president. At this meeting, which included the president, the agent and Viana, Gyokeres was not present. He wanted to guarantee certain things. 'And what was agreed? That Sporting would not demand a release clause now. For one reason: he was going to be 27 years old and no player leaves Portugal at 27 for 100 or 90 million. 'In that same meeting, the agent wanted to anchor the exit to a value. I said this sentence: 'It's not worth us setting a value because I don't know what will happen in a year's time. I don't know if it will be 40, 60 or 80. What I can guarantee is that I will not demand €100 million.' 'From then on, I never spoke to the agent again, I never spoke to the player about departures or values. Now I see the agent in the press releasing information. Advertisement 'I want to make one thing clear: Sporting has common sense and keeps its word. 'Gyokeres scored 63 goals and 10 assists. Fantastic performance. Certainly one of the best players to have ever stepped onto Portuguese turf. And even so, Sporting will not demand the release clause. 'They should know me better by now. Threats, blackmail and insults do not work with me. And I can guarantee one thing: Viktor will not leave for €60m plus €10m. I never promised this. 'With this game that the agent is playing, the situation is only getting worse. To date, Sporting have not had an offer for Viktor Gyokeres. Not today or last summer. 'Viktor Gyokeres is one of the best footballers in the history of Portuguese football, he is a fantastic professional, to date he has had zero offers and has a three-year contract.'
