Through his representatives, a World Cup champion has discussed the prospect of joining Ange Postecoglou’s team this summer; he would be a very affordable choice for Daniel Levy, the chairman.
Ange’s desire to sign new centre-back at Spurs
Various reports have indicated that the north Londoners are keen on bringing in another central defensive option, despite Radu Dragusin’s arrival in January, and it is believed that Spurs actually made an offer to Tosin Adarabioyo before his move to Chelsea.
According to The Times, one of Tottenham’s top summer recruitment priorities is a new center-back. Postecoglou is preparing a team makeover in front of his second Premier League season as manager. Speaking to national media in March, the Australian even acknowledged that the club wanted to add another player to strengthen their backline.
Regarding the addition of a center-back, Postecoglou stated, “If you’re saying, ‘Is it an area we can strengthen?’, yes, it’s an area we will probably look at.”
The goal of all of these initiatives is, above all, to fortify the group. If you go back to when I joined the team, we might have had six or seven centre backs. Thus, it goes beyond numbers. It focuses more on
| Premier League top five last season | Goals conceded |
|---|---|
| 1. Man City | 34 |
| 2. Arsenal | 29 |
| 3. Liverpool | 41 |
| 4. Aston Villa | 61 |
| 5. Tottenham | 61 |
“At the end of the season, I believe we’ll try to strengthen every area of the park, but this is one that we will definitely look to strengthen.” That is planning that has already started, and it is currently being handled by others.
During the previous campaign, Postecoglou’s club suffered without players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, which is why the recruitment staff decided to add the left-footed Dragusin as a backup.
The 22-year-old, who made an impression for Romania on Monday against Ukraine at Euro 2024, might just be one of two new centre halves added to N17 this year as Levy tries to provide Postecoglou with a depth of options.
