During the 2008-09 Season, Tottenham Hotspur will be participating in the English Premier League

Season 2008-2009

After the end of an indifferent season, with the success of the first trophy in nine years diminished by the poor league showing, almost all down to the horrendous start to the 2007/08 season.

Tottenham Hotspur began their quest to break the top 4 and Champions League football by completing the signing of highly-rated Croatian international, Luka Modric and by slapping a price tag of £30million on mercurial talent Dimitar Berbatov to try to ward off bigger clubs to ensure the club moves forward by retaining their better players.

As the 2007-08 season ends and the summer transfer window opens, Tottenham promise to be busy in strengthening their squad and becoming more acquainted to coach Juande Ramos to try to return themselves to a top european force.
