Ange Postecoglou has informed Tottenham Hotspur’s hierarchy that as well as his top priority, which is a new central defender, he also believes his squad is in need of an additional winger and a midfielder, who can play the box-to-box number 8 role.
⚖️Postecoglou’s hopes of landing a new No 8 are likely to rest on whether or not Tottenham can sell Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who has attracted interest from Juventus.
⚠️Tottenham showed interest in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, who would fit Postecoglou’s style perfectly, but were unwilling to match the £50M valuation. Unless the Blues’ asking price drops, then that is likely to remain the case.
⚡️With Nice hopeful of hanging on to centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo until at least the summer, Tottenham are expected to quickly step up their interest in Genoa’s Radu Drăgușin.
🔎The most likely winger for Tottenham to target in January is Jota. Spurs are likely to look at a loan deal or a free transfer for Jota and it remains to be seen whether Al-Ittihad will seek a significant fee.
📝Tottenham are also drawing up a list of striker targets, which includes Feyenoord’s Santiago Giménez, but that may have to wait until the summer unless the club receive a huge offer from Saudi Arabia for Richarlison.
