GOOD NEWS:Ange Postecoglou confirm the return of former best player….
Tottenham Hotspur had hoped to see significant progress this season, but so far, there has been no such rapidity. Ange Postecoglou has implemented an exciting and aggressive style of football, but the holes are many.
With five defeats from 11 matches in the Premier League, there’s a lack of backbone about this talented bunch that is costing the fans faith dearly.
The underlying metrics would suggest that Tottenham are one of the most incisive and creative teams in the division, but significant lapses have allowed opponents to take the lead all too often.
The silver lining is that Spurs, who are tenth in the table, have 16 points from 11 top-flight fixtures, which puts the north Londoners within three points of third-placed Chelsea.
Moreover, Postecoglou was hardly hesitant to fix holes last January, signing Radu Dragusin from Genoa for £27m and landing Timo Werner on loan. An impressive deal was also struck in advance for young midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who has earned minutes this year.
There are various issues to address. Let’s take a look at just where Postecoglou and Daniel Levy might opt to strengthen.
Last summer, Guglielmo Vicario joined Tottenham in a deal initially worth £17m from Italian team Empoli, and he’s yet to miss a minute in the Premier League.
Even so, questions marks linger, namely around the 27-year-old’s ability to deal with set pieces, his aerial command. Still, he’s still an excellent goalkeeper, and won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Transfer rumours concerning Pedro Porro have abounded in recent weeks, with Real Madrid particularly keen on the Spaniard if they are unable to entice Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
