Tottenham in the market for new centre back, says Postecoglou
The HinduTottenham Hotspur will be looking for a new central defender in the January transfer window, with manager Ange Postecoglou admitting his team is thinly covered at the back. The return of Argentina’s Christian Romero from suspension has helped alleviate its problems, but centre-backs Micky van der Ven, Ashley Phillips and Eric Dier are all injured. He’s getting a run of games,” Postecoglou, told reporters ahead of Friday’s Premier League visit to lowly Nottingham Forest. Ultimately, we need to sign another centre-back, though, because at the moment we’re on tenterhooks in case something else happens.” Tottenham snapped a run of five games without a victory in the 4-1 defeat of visiting Newcastle and are well positioned in fifth spot as they prepare to take on 16th-placed Forest.
