Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou has succeeded where he failed at Celtic after Tottenham struck an agreement to sign a defender wanted by Manchester City, per reports.
Spurs sought to address their centre-back position during the summer window, with the headline-making move the arrival of Micky van de Ven.
However, the Dutchman was not alone in signing up for the north London club. Indeed, Tottenham added 18-year-old Ashley Phillips to their ranks when plucking the highly-rated teenager out of Blackburn Rovers.
Another addition at centre-half was sought, though ultimately did not come to pass. Nonetheless, Fabrizio Romano recently brought news of Tottenham succeeding with another move for the future.
The trusted transfer guru revealed Tottenham have agreed personal terms with 16-year-old Croatian sensation, Luka Vuskovic.
Precisely when Vuskovic will link up with Tottenham is yet to be clarified, with some outlets stating it won’t be until he turns 18. That would mean Vuskovic wouldn’t make the move until February of 2025.
However, Calciomercato conclude it is not yet confirmed that Tottenham cannot bring the move forward to January of 2024 before sending the player out on loan to clubs of their choice until the player’s 18th birthday.
In any case, what is clear is Postecoglou and Spurs have wrapped up a move that may well prove to be a masterstroke in the future.
