Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou’s job remains under threat as his side sit 15th in the Premier League table after a 3-2 defeat to David Moyes’ Everton last weekend.
Spurs went 3-0 down to the Toffees, who had previously failed to score more than one goal in their last six Premier League matches. Despite mounting a late comeback, with two goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, it wasn’t enough for Postecoglou’s side to rescue a point at Goodison Park.
It has left the Spurs boss under considerable pressure, after what has been a torrid first half of the season. They haven’t won in their last six Premier League matches, and are now eight points away from the relegation zone.
Sky Sports have reported that Postecoglou still has the full backing of the board, despite their low league position, however, it has been claimed that recent comments from the Tottenham boss won’t have done himself any favours.
Postecoglou’s “urgency” transfer comments could push Daniel Levy to make decision
After the 3-2 defeat at Everton, the Spurs manager made a comment in his post-match interview, where he suggested that the club needs more “urgency” in the transfer window, in order to bring reinforcements in.
Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Spurs owner Daniel Levy won’t take well to those comments. He said: “I don’t think Daniel Levy is particularly happy about that. From what I hear, he looks at things like that as a personal slight against him.
“Postecoglou must know the club’s attitude towards transfers, and he’ll be aware about what is or isn’t happening behind the scenes there. So speaking out about things as he has done, isn’t going to do him any favours.
“There’s already pressure on his position because of the results on the pitch, he doesn’t need to add to that by publicly talking about their transfer business – or lack of it. It’s obvious he wants new players to suit his style, but ultimately if things aren’t working you’ve got to be the one to change them, you can’t just rely on the transfers.”
Tottenham linked to several attacking talents in January window
Postecoglou is desperate to bring some new players into the team amid his squad’s injury struggles this season. They have been previously linked to PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, however, he looks set to join Juventus.
Meanwhile, recent reports have linked Spurs to signing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea in recent weeks. Garnacho could be sold by United in order to generate ‘pure profit’ to help in accordance with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.
It has been said that Tottenham could tempt United to sell Garnacho with a fee of around £60m. He has made 21 Premier League appearances so far this season, scoring three goals and contributing one assist. Furthermore, Spurs have also been linked with Sunderland star midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who has also attracted interest from North London rivals Arsenal, and Crystal Palace.
