Whether or not Tottenham Hotspur make it into the Champions League for next season, it seems that Ange Postecoglou is intent on making a sensational triple swoop of players.
According to The Telegraph (subscription required), some of the personnel may change if Europa League football is as good as it gets in 2024/25, but it’s clear that the manager believes that certain areas of the squad need an upgrade.
Ange Postecoglou knows who he wants at Tottenham
The Australian can be rightly proud of how his team have performed throughout the current campaign, and whilst they’ve tailed off a little towards to end of it, looking at 2023/24 overall, particularly when comparing it to the Antonio Conte era, it’s been a big success.
Postecoglou has brought the Tottenham way back into vogue. No more defensive and stale football, but front foot, attacking and free-flowing fare that’s been a joy to watch at times.
It’s not perfect of course and a number of teams have been able to counter Spurs’ way of playing, leading to nine losses so far this season.
Defensive stalwart, Micky van de Ven, has been one of the signings of the season, though The Telegraph suggest that Bournemouth’s highly-regarded centre-back, Lloyd Kelly, could be one of those to join the club in the summer.
A decision is yet to be made on loan signing Timo Werner, but if the German isn’t retained, an incredible move for Barcelona’s exciting wide man, Raphinha, could be on the cards.
Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez has also been mentioned in dispatches, whilst there’s still a clear desire from the North Londoners to land Chelsea star, Conor Gallagher.
If Spurs were able to secure all of the targets that Postecoglou would ideally prefer, not only would it show the rest of the Premier League that the club are still going places, but the strength in depth that Tottenham have needed at points this season would arguably be there and allow the manager a platform to build for further success.
