Postecoglou’s role on two significant Tottenham signings
According to reports surrounding Werner and Dragusin’s arrivals, Postecoglou is alleged to have played an important part in luring the pair to north London.
Indeed, reliable transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport this week that the Lilywhites’ head coach had a “direct conversation” with Werner before the German signed his Spurs contract.
“It’s important for Tottenham because Postecoglou wanted signings as soon as possible,” Romano told the press.
“He spoke directly with Werner.” It was a very nice experience on both sides. So they’re really pleased with this agreement. They think this was necessary, and Werner is excited to return to the Premier League and pursue a fresh chance.”
Meanwhile, the same appears to be true with Dragusin. Tottenham’s hunt for a new centre-back came to an end with the widely publicized signing of the Romanian, and Postecoglou played a key role in the deal.
According to The Times, Dragusin agreed to personal terms with Spurs after chatting with the Australian, who convinced him that he would receive frequent opportunity in the Premier League.
According to the same report, Postecoglou is looking for another player to reinforce Tottenham’s ranks and help them strive for a top-four finish.
Ange personally wants Gallagher at Tottenham.
Indeed, according to The Times, the former Celtic manager has set his sights on Chelsea player Conor Gallagher after signing Dragusin and Werner.
It is believed that Postecoglou is anxious to recruit Gallagher for Spurs, following his significant improvement in form this season under ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The England international’s future was uncertain last summer, with Tottenham showing interest as early as then. However, the situation has shifted slightly, with the 23-year-old now tied with Cole Palmer for the most assists at Chelsea.
Gallagher has started 19 Premier League games as a mainstay of Pochettino’s XI, and the Blues are expected to want approximately £50 million for him this month, according to The Times.
The midfielder’s contract expires next year, but his importance to Chelsea has raised his value. Stephen Doyle, a sports pundit and broadcaster, has previously described Gallagher as a “very underrated” player who “spills his guts in every game,” a quality Postecoglou undoubtedly admires in his Tottenham Hotspur team.
However, if the Lilywhites are to entice him away from Stamford Bridge, it may require their most generous January offer yet.
Spurs might sign a “relentless” £50 million star who’s like a “Poch-era Dele Alli”
Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the more troubled Premier League clubs as 2023 comes to a close, but Ange Postecoglou is working tirelessly to restore his team’s status on the continent.
Antonio Conte was fired in March following a decline in form and lack of identity. It was Tottenham’s fourth managerial dismissal in as many years, and it was yet another setback to the London club’s ambitions of competing at the top of Premier League and European football.
However, moving away from the appointments of managers with glittering pedigree and welcoming Postecoglou to the top of the table – who had done an excellent job with Celtic in Scotland but was not considered to be of the same calibre as the Contes and Jose Mourinhos of the game – has proven to be a wise business decision for the Lilywhites.
Despite giving in to Harry Kane’s requests to be sold and allowing his transfer to Bayern Munich in August, Tottenham have demonstrated that they can return to the Champions League, but they need more acquisitions.
A promising start to the season was disrupted in November when injuries and bans revealed how thin the Spurs team remains.
However, the January transfer window is quickly approaching, and Postecoglou and his transfer team will make the most of the opportunity to strengthen the squad.
Tottenham transfer news: Conor Gallagher
According to a recent TEAMtalk story, Tottenham have gained a boost in their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher after learning that the Blues have judged the player sellable as they strive to recover finances and comply with restrictions that allow profitable spending in 2024.
According to the source, Chelsea is willing to sell the England international for £50 million, while negotiations with interested parties are likely to begin at £40 million.
Manchester United and West Ham United are also interested, but Spurs made an unsuccessful £40 million approach for Gallagher’s services on summer deadline day, which could persuade the 23-year-old to make a daring cross-London move.
