Overview

• Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has identified three areas of the team he wants to strengthen: a new central defender, an additional winger, and a midfielder.
• Postecoglou has warned that 'nothing magical' will happen in the January transfer window, indicating that the team's improvement will be a gradual process.
• Spurs are expected to step up their interest in Genoa’s Radu Dragusin for the central defender role, and Jota, who played for Postecoglou at Celtic, for the winger position.
• Postecoglou’s hopes of landing a new midfielder are likely to rest on whether or not Tottenham can sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has attracted interest from Juventus.
• Spurs currently have six first-team players out injured, another one suspended, and will lose three more players to international duty in the new year.
