Report: Tottenham Could Consider Winger Who Praised Postecoglou “Unbelievable” Too Costly for January Transfer
Tottenham Hotspur endure another defeat in their last match before the international break this season.
After recent wins over Manchester City and Aston Villa, Tottenham went into the break with consecutive losses.
Ange Postecoglou’s rotated lineup against Galatasaray proved ineffective, as struggling Ipswich Town then claimed their first win of the season against Spurs in North London.
Postecoglou’s record currently mirrors that of Nuno Espirito Santo before his departure, with Tottenham now sitting in 10th place.
Despite significant summer spending, Tottenham’s progress seems limited.
More funds could be invested in the January transfer window, but there is a potential setback concerning one target: Jack Grealish.
Tottenham’s Interest in Jack Grealish Faces Major Challenge
Reports indicate Tottenham have held discussions with Grealish’s representatives regarding a potential move.
However, GiveMeSport suggests Spurs might face a major hurdle, as the England international appears committed to staying with Manchester City, who also have no immediate plans to sell.
Yet, with limited game time at City, Grealish might reconsider if Tottenham make an approach.
Interestingly, Grealish has expressed admiration for Tottenham and praised Heung-min Son, comparing him favorably to Bayern legend Franck Ribery.
Grealish’s Appreciation for Postecoglou’s Style of Play
Despite Tottenham’s recent struggles, Postecoglou’s attacking style has drawn attention.
Grealish praised Postecoglou as “unbelievable” back in December 2023, commenting on the quality of Spurs’ gameplay alongside other top teams.
“I think a lot of people like to talk about City and act like it’s a crisis, but in reality, we have faced very good teams,” Grealish said, referring to Spurs and league leaders Liverpool.
With Tottenham opting not to renew Heung-min Son’s contract outright, instead likely activating a 12-month extension, they may soon need a new long-term left-winger.
Mikey Moore is a promising prospect, though not yet ready to fully replace Son.
This situation could make a future move for Grealish especially appealing for Spurs.
