Football legend claims German midfielder would be a perfect fit for Spurs.

Tottenham Targeting Midfield Reinforcements

Ange Postecoglou has experimented with several midfield combinations this season, featuring players like Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Yves Bissouma.

However, Archie Gray has yet to feature prominently in midfield, while Lucas Bergvall’s appearances have largely been limited to Europa League action.

Postecoglou is reportedly eager to strengthen his midfield options, with Lille’s Angel Gomes emerging as the most heavily linked candidate for a potential move to North London (GiveMeSport).

Leon Goretzka Recommended to Tottenham

German football legend Lothar Matthaus has suggested Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka as a viable option for Tottenham.

Goretzka, an experienced German international, has seen his game time diminish since Vincent Kompany’s arrival at Bayern.

Speculation continues to grow that his tenure at the Allianz Arena may soon come to an end.

When asked about the ideal next step for the 29-year-old, Matthaus told SportBILD: “Yes: Inter Milan.

The Italian league would suit him well, requiring consistency, toughness, and physicality.

“I don’t necessarily see him at a top five club in Europe, but he could contribute significantly to others. Inter, Man United, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid—he would fit in well there.”

Why Goretzka Isn’t the Right Fit for Spurs

Leon Goretzka does not align with Postecoglou’s vision for Tottenham, either tactically or in terms of age.

The Australian coach favors younger, more dynamic midfielders who excel in covering ground, handling tight spaces, and maintaining technical precision.

As Postecoglou continues to shape his squad, it’s clear he is seeking a profile different from Goretzka to suit his high-intensity system.
