Ange Postecoglou confirms one player could leave Tottenham in January
Ange Postecoglou has addressed rumours of Tottenham players leaving Hotspur Way amidst winter transfer speculation. It seems only one first-team squad member will have the chance to transfer.
Tottenham’s busy January transfer window
The January transfer window has always been a frenetic time for clubs, and this season, Tottenham Hotspur finds itself at the centre of numerous transfer rumours.
With Ange Postecoglou leading the North London side in his second season as manager, the Lilywhites are battling injuries to key players, which has forced them to dip into the market for reinforcements.
Tottenham’s need for additions has been reflected in their activity, with links to forwards such as Randal Kolo Muani and Marcus Rashford dominating headlines.
Midfielders and defenders have also been touted as potential arrivals, while the club has already confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. These moves highlight the sense of urgency to bolster a squad that has been severely tested.
Despite the influx of injury-related concerns, murmurs regarding the futures of younger and fringe players have persisted, adding another layer of intrigue to Tottenham’s transfer dealings.
Ange Postecoglou on outgoing players
Amidst the speculation, Ange Postecoglou has provided clarity on Tottenham Hotspur’s position regarding player departures.
Speaking to football.london, the Australian manager emphasised the importance of retaining squad depth, particularly given the club’s current circumstances.
Postecoglou said, “We cannot afford to let players go. There could be some young ones, like Alfie Dorrington has gone out on loan and young Will [Lankshear] could be as well.”
Will Lankshear news shows insight into Tottenham’s strategy
If Ange Postecoglou’s words are to be taken at face value, it seems unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur will sanction the exits of key players during this transfer window.
With Alfie Dorrington already on loan from Tottenham and Will Lankshear seemingly poised to follow, the club’s outgoing activity remains limited to its younger contingent.
This cautious approach is a logical response to the injuries that have hampered the squad. Tottenham have not struggled due to the performance of their first-choice players but rather from a lack of depth—a deficiency that is being actively addressed in the transfer market.
The idea of weakening the squad further by allowing experienced players to leave would seem counterproductive, especially given the ambitions of the Postecoglou era.
