Tottenham quietly line up Xavi as doubts deepen around Thomas Frank
Unease spreads behind closed doors
Tottenham’s season has taken an unsettling turn, and concerns inside the club are no longer limited to poor results alone. Senior figures are increasingly questioning whether the current setup can be salvaged, or whether decisive action is now unavoidable.
According to GiveMeSport, Spurs have won just twice at home in the league this season, a return that has intensified frustration both in the stands and internally. What once felt like patience is now giving way to anxiety.
A defeat that changed the mood
The loss to West Ham United proved particularly damaging. The visitors arrived in north London without a win in nine matches, yet left with three points and renewed belief.
According to journalist David Ornstein, that result further weakened Thomas Frank’s standing within the squad. Ornstein reported that “many” players are unhappy with the current situation, adding that the expectation inside the club is shifting towards when a decision will be made, rather than if.

Xavi conversations already underway
As doubts grow louder, Tottenham have begun to look beyond their current manager. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the club has already made contact with Xavi Hernandez to explore the possibility of him taking charge.
The report suggests that Spurs believe Frank’s position is becoming untenable and that alternative plans are now actively being discussed. Xavi is said to be taking a measured approach, assessing the landscape rather than committing too early.
Why Xavi keeps appearing on Tottenham’s radar
Xavi’s reputation continues to attract attention at the highest level. The former Barcelona coach was once described as “the best manager in the world” by club president Joan Laporta, a remark that still follows him as he weighs his next move.
According to Fichajes, Xavi expects his future to become clearer in the coming months, though Tottenham are eager to move quickly should the opportunity arise. Interest from other clubs means Spurs may not have the luxury of time.

A season that could still swing either way
Despite their position in 14th, Tottenham are far from cut adrift. They sit six points off seventh and nine behind the top four, with little separating much of the Premier League table.
Champions League football remains part of the picture, adding pressure but also appeal for any incoming manager. For Tottenham, the coming weeks may determine whether this season is remembered as a slow collapse or the moment a bold reset began.
