[스포탈코리아] Reporter Lee Seong-min = Tottenham Hotspur is a position that desperately needs new resources.
Under manager Ange Postecoglu, Tottenham are rapidly rebuilding. They brought in Italian Guglielmo Vicario as the successor to veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. He added creativity to the midfield by embracing attacking midfielder James Madison. The Dutch defense hopeful Mickey van der Venn was recruited to fill a hole in the defense. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Poro, who were on loan, were also fully recruited.
Sending Harry Kane, who was like the team’s symbol, to Bayern Munich was a huge loss, but the team reorganization is proceeding smoothly. So far, Tottenham’s transfer market deserves a high enough score, but there are still more positions to strengthen.
First of all, the central defensive position turned off the urgent fire with the joining of Van the Ben. Last season, Tottenham allowed 63 runs from the defense, with Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez making mistakes. As Van der Ben wore a Tottenham uniform, the element of anxiety in defense was erased. Van der Venn raised expectations by showing a good appearance in the EPL opening game against Brentford.
The central striker position that Kane left also needs to be replaced. The striker currently linked with Tottenham is KAA Gent’s Gift Orban. He recorded 20 goals and 2 assists in 22 matches in all competitions for Gent last season. Nottingham Forest’s leading man Brennan Johnson is also on Tottenham’s radar.
There is one more position Tottenham must reinforce. He is a defensive midfielder. Currently, Tottenham’s squad lacks defensive midfielders. Eve Bisuma impressed as a defensive midfielder against Brentford, but it just doesn’t quite suit him. Rodrigo Bentancur never recovered from a cruciate ligament injury. Pierre-Emile Hoivier is plagued by rumors of a move to Atletico Madrid.
In order to recruit a defensive midfielder, the disposal of surplus resources must be preceded. Aside from Dyer and Sanchez, Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele, Hugo Lloris and Jed Spence are currently on the release list. It is necessary to sell them to raise funds for transfer, but it is not easy to organize them as there is no club that wants them.
James Maddison, signed by Tottenham in the summer, showed his ability with two assists against Brentford. To maximize Madison’s ability, he needs a defensive midfielder to center the build-up from the back. With about two weeks left in the transfer window, it remains to be seen what choice Tottenham will make.
