Spurs have reportedly turned their attention towards further additions…
Tottenham Hotspur is no longer a team that struggles to amuse itself and lacks direction. Under Ange Postecoglou, they have changed as a team thus far this season. On the pitch, there has been no shortage of goals and great outcomes to go along with the entertainment. In the meantime, star player Harry Kane left during a summer of pivotal decisions made off the pitch.
Postecoglou’s Premier League debut could have been disastrous had Kane not left, but the Lilywhites appear stronger than ever. Following the arrival and rapid success of players like James Maddison, Postecoglou is reportedly pushing for Spurs to sign an unexpected target.
News on Spurs transfers
As Spurs looked to rebuild, some might have been concerned about how they would use the money from Kane. But after ten games into the season, all of those uncertainties have been dispelled. The North London team, who has already faced Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, leads the league by two points and is still undefeated. A team that might not have been predicted to finish in the top four by the end of the season is now in early title contention thanks to Postecoglou.
If the former Celtic manager achieves his transfer target as well, things might get even better. Spurs are reportedly considering a move to sign Jadon Sancho, according to reports from Spain. After having a falling out with Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, the winger is probably going to be moving in January, having been cut from the starting lineup the previous season. According to reports, Postecoglou now views the former Borussia Dortmund player as an essential addition to his team.
Even though Sancho has struggled to find his best form since moving back to England, if he returns to his brilliant best, his reported £30 million price tag could make him one of the season’s best deals.
Man United’s Jadon Sancho stats
Saying that Sancho has been a shadow of the player who became a Bundesliga star is not hyperbole. The England international in the summer needed a transfer if ever a player did, especially after he was frozen out at Old Trafford. Sancho’s Red Devils stats aren’t particularly eye-catching. The 23-year-old has had a terrible run of play, netting just 12 goals and dishing out six assists in just 82 games.
But considering the positive atmosphere at Spurs these days in contrast to what has turned into a nightmare situation for Sancho at Manchester United, a fresh start at Spurs might be the best course of action. His development over the last three years has been amazing, according to former manager Ralf Rangnick, who gave him high praise when he was at his best, as reported by Sky Sports. Right now, he’s among Europe’s top wing offensive players. His stats from the previous Bundesliga season show that he had 18 goals and 18 assists.
“Those are incredible numbers for a winger player, and as far as I can tell, no other player in Europe has his combination of quickness, danger in front of goal, and assist-producing ability. He is among Europe’s greatest talents.
