Ange Postecoglou isn’t aiming for a conventional number nine, but it’s believed that he wants a new forward at Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Postecoglou prefers a front three that can switch places on the fly and are tactically agile, as seen by his title-winning teams at Celtic.
Though it was up for debate, Ottenham’s greatest forward line from the previous campaign was probably Son Heung-min, Richardson, and Brennan Johnson.
Furthermore, even though Timo Werner and Dejan Kulusevski might feel unfairly treated, the Spurs front three is still far from Postecoglou’s ideal in terms of style.
At Celtic, Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Daizen Maeda’s flowing combination was occasionally unstoppable.
And given the similarities between the two, it may help to understand why Tottenham is prepared to let Richarlison go this summer despite the fact that he works really hard but is not very good at anything.
Having said that, is Postecoglou correct?
The Spurs boss is thought to predominantly want wide-forwards who can play centrally, but will Tottenham get by without a typical centre-forward?
Tottenham will be sorry for blocking a summer transfer for Ivan Toney.
For years Tottenham’s north London rivals Arsenal have attempted to do similar, playing without a typical goal-scorer.
And ultimately it’s been fruitless for them, even if they have made progress.

It’s been reported that Spurs’ interest in Toney has cooled of late, which makes sense in regards to the information above.
But after Toney’s impact for England against Slovakia off of the bench on Sunday at Euro 2024, the Brentford man demonstrated all of what Postecoglou will be missing.
Ange Postecoglou doesn’t need a striker like Jonathan David.
Jonathan David was recently connected to Tottenham as a possible Richarlison substitute, but Toney has a far more intriguing skill set.
The 28-year-old can dash in behind opposing defences, hold up play, and has great aerial strength.
In addition, Toney is a superb passer, finisher, and penalty taker, much like Harry Kane, which helps to explain why Tottenham would have regretted blocking a trade.
Although Spurs should support Postecoglou if he chooses not to move, some supporters may find this to be incongruous with his decision.
Although it may seem overly optimistic, Toney has the ability to completely change this Tottenham team for the upcoming campaign. There is ample proof of
