Ange Postecoglou has been brutally brought back down to earth in the Premier League after an incredible start to his career at Tottenham Hotspur.
The first was a crushing defeat at Chelsea, which saw James Maddison and Micky van de Ven limp off injured, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie both receive red cards, and the Lilywhites concede four goals. As if things couldn’t get any worse, they finished the week by conceding two late goals to lose at Wolverhampton Wanderers, effectively ending their momentum.
If there is one positive for Spurs, it is that their lack of squad depth has been exposed so early on. After two injuries and a couple of suspensions, Postecoglou’s team appeared to be a shadow of the team that appeared capable of mounting a title challenge. However, the January transfer window could be crucial, particularly if they pursue a specific target.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
The fact that Harry Kane has barely been mentioned in connection with Tottenham Hotspur and how they’re missing their record goalscorer demonstrates how well they’ve been playing this season. However, with the wheels starting to fall off in an all-too-familiar fashion, the forward’s name will undoubtedly start to come up if the results continue to deteriorate.
Spurs sent scouts to watch Antonio Nusa ahead of a possible move for the Club Brugge winger, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Tottenham are one of many clubs scouting Antonio Nusa,” said the transfer expert. He has a unique talent. Tottenham sent scouts, Chelsea sent scouts, and many other clubs are interested in him. However, there has been no significant update as of yet.
In addition to Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Liverpool in the Premier League, the forward has reportedly piqued the interest of Borussia Dortmund, Lyon, Ajax, and Monaco in Europe. Meanwhile, according to 90min, Nusa turned down a move to Chelsea in the summer after the Blues reportedly made a £27.5 million bid. That reported rejection would make the winger a popular figure among Spurs fans, who are keeping an eye on the Brugge man.
“Special talent” Spurs scouted Nusa
Nusa, who is only 18 years old, is already making a name for himself in Belgium and has piqued the interest of some of Europe’s top clubs. Nusa’s statistics show that he can already compete with some of Postecoglou’s current attacking options.
The Norwegian international has been incredibly impressive this season, and a move elsewhere should only hasten his development. As Spurs look for more squad depth, Nusa could be an ideal fit, ticking the boxes for a future star and someone who can make an impact on Postecoglou’s current squad despite being only 18 years old. The Brugge star is definitely one to watch.
