Tottenham Hotspur to Sign New Centre-Back in January, Confirms Manager Postecoglou
Injury-hit Spurs seek reinforcements as key defenders remain sidelined and concerns over Cristian Romero's discipline persist.
- Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, confirms the club's intention to sign a new centre-back in the January transfer window due to a lack of cover in defensive positions.
- Current centre-backs Micky van de Ven, Ashley Phillips and Eric Dier are all out with injuries, leaving the team short-handed.
- Full-back Ben Davies has been filling in as a central defender, but Postecoglou emphasizes the need for a specialized centre-back.
- Despite the return of Cristian Romero from suspension, concerns remain due to his disciplinary issues and the potential for further suspensions.
- Postecoglou also mentions that Tottenham's absence from the Champions League this season has delayed squad development.
