Ange Postecoglou is facing an injury crisis

Tottenham’s squad is depleted as we enter the January transfer window, with Radu Dragosin the only centre-back part-time available. Angie Postecoglouwhich has been since He said He was forced to play the Romanian in the draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers: “Well, we had no choice, if Radu doesn’t play, I don’t know who will play.

“He wasn’t 100%, but he felt he could get over his ankle. We don’t have any choice unless we bring in another player who is 18 or 17 years old. These are the only players we have.”

To make matters worse, Tottenham’s injury crisis comes at a time when some tough fixtures are looming, so Postecoglou may be forced to enter the market for a new defender in the January transfer window.

Several players have been linked with a move to N17, but now there is a new target entering the frame, with The Boot Room reporting that the AC Milan player Fikayo Tomari is attracting interest To move next January.
