Ange Postecoglou gives update on transfer plans with Tottenham ‘a little bit short’

Spurs have suffered injuries to several key players in recent weeks, including starting centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has stated that his side ideally need “reinforcement” in the January transfer window, with the team “still a little bit short” ahead of a packed winter schedule.
Spurs are sitting in 11th in the Premier League with just 23 points, despite being the league’s top scorers with 39 goals in 17 games. And Postecoglou’s side have suffered plenty of injuries so far this term, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke, Guigliemo Vicario and Son Heung Min all having spells on the sideline.
The Australian underlined how Spurs “need to reinforce” the side in the winter, saying that the club have “been planning” for a while. “A lot of it [planning] was going to be around where we’re at around this time,” he said. “Fair to say we’re still a little bit short in a couple of areas and we need to reinforce. But January’s trickier in terms of what sort of players you can bring in.
“For us, ideal — for any club, I guess — you want to bring in people who are going to make you stronger,” he added. The 59-year-old went on to mention Spurs’ busy winter schedule as another reason to make signings, with the club “still in the Carabao Cup semi-final” as well as the Europa League and FA Cup.
