Jay Harris looks at the talking points from another disappointing Spurs performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou conceded his team are "nowhere near the level we need to be" after a 2-0 home loss to Crystal Palace. ( More Football News) Spurs are now 17th in the Premier League after Sunday's defeat, despite having made the Europa League final.

Leeds United are reportedly among the clubs to have recently watched Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi in action. A 28-cap Colombia international, Lucumi has been on the books Serie A side Bologna since 2022. He has become a key figure in the heart of the club’s defence, amassing 106 appearances.

Eberechi Eze scored on either side of halftime to give Crystal Palace a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and condemn the hosts to their 20th Premier League defeat of the season.

The wildcard remains Heung-min Son. Postecoglou offered a flicker of optimism regarding his captain’s availability, stating he is “half hopeful” the South Korean might feature. After missing the European semi-final with a foot complaint, his return — even in cameo form — would provide a welcome emotional and tactical boost.

Tottenham and Crystal Palace meet in the Premier League on Sunday, but both sides will be thinking about more important matches to come this month.
