Tottenham’s January transfer window approach for Ange Postecoglou as key requirement highlighted

Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham desperately need things to turn in their favour very quickly. Spurs were on the losing side on Thursday evening as Bournemouth secured a 1-0 win at the Vitality Stadium.

The result leaves the north London club tenth in the Premier League table after 14 games, with the side passing up the opportunity to move into fifth had they collected maximum points on the south coast. It was once again a familiar story for Postecoglou’s side as they conceded a sloppy goal and didn’t do anywhere near enough in the final third to trouble the Cherries.

At a time when Tottenham are having to deal with a huge amount of injuries to key players as well as Rodrigo Bentancur’s suspension for domestic games, Postecoglou has a real lack of experience on his substitutes’ bench on a matchday. Many have questioned the club’s transfer policy in the summer after they opted to buy talented teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Yang Min-hyeok and Wilson Odobert for a decent sum of money rather than purchase players who are currently ready to feature in the starting XI.
