Ange Postecoglou looks at £60m Tottenham January plan Arteta failed todeliver Tottenham transfer news as Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou could

already struggling with injuries at the start of the Premier League campaign, it has been impressive how well
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has fared and his start to life in England. Sure, there were some close calls, but
going unbeaten in the first 10 games and winning manager of the month in the first three months of the season didn’t go
unnoticed. But back-to-back defeats to rivals Chelsea and Wolves ahead of the
international break threaten to derail that hard work if they fail in four
consecutive brutal attempts that end in November and December. They first host
Aston Villa, then travel to the Etihad Stadium to face reigning champions Manchester City in what could be a
season-defining game. It’s then back to London for two home games, the first of
which is a London derby against West Ham, before they face Eddie Howe and
high-flying Newcastle United in another tight battle that could have ramifications later this season. . And while the Spurs
boss will naturally have one eye on those games, he will also be keeping an eye on
the transfer market, which reopens in January. It has already been a difficult season for both the club and the injury
department, who have been working overtime to keep up with the successes
players have been gathering on the field. In modern football, the fixture calendar
seems to keep getting bigger and bigger and the players feel bad about it, with
100 players injured in 20 Premier League clubs. Spurs are no exception, with key stars James Maddison and Micky Van de
Ven both sidelined with long-term problems they picked up against Chelsea this month. Elsewhere, Richarlison
underwent surgery on the problem, while Brennan Johnson and captain Son
Heung-min have been dogged by injury fears all season, with the latter almost
picking up the problem again on international duty in South Korea earlier
this week. The only constant over the wing this year has been Dejan Kulusevski, and the winger has been in
the clutch many times this season. It was his triumph at the death of Sheffield
United that lifted the team to the top of the league, but Postecoglou wants to
revive his forwards. Come to the Premier League, a familiar face, Raphinha. The
Brazilian winger is set to leave La Liga champions Barcelona just 18 months
after leaving Leeds United for £60million. Despite scoring 10 goals in
his debut season at the Nou Camp, he has
been restricted to just five starts so far this campaign and the club are now
willing to let him go to cut costs. Barca’s financial struggles in recent years have been well documented and according to
Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, they are ready to do business if the club opens talks with an offer that satisfies and
#039; them and that Spronos is one of the parties considering a possible strike. Raphinha has started just three league
games this season and can now look forward to a return to England as he
hopes to get more regular minutes to improve his chances of making the Brazil
squad and the Copa America next summer. Head#039; is a player Arsenal and Chelsea have both previously
monitored and both clubs are keen to sign him ahead of his first move to Spain in the summer of 2022. However, no club
wanted to pay Barcelona’s fee, meaning that the Whites clicked the star. Now,
however, Postecoglou could snap up the 26-year-old for a fraction of the price and complete a deal that his north Londoner
Mikel Arteta has been unable to complete. football.london Spurs WhatsApp Channel Tottenham Hotspur’s
