Tottenham continued their push towards finishing in the top four by beating Nottingham Forest yesterday.
Spurs were good value for the win once again as they continued to produce attacking football and go for the jugular, to which Forest had no answer in the end.
Ange Postecoglou refuses to get drawn into talk of finishing in the top four but ultimately, that is the goal for the club as a whole this season.
The Aussie has been backed by Daniel Levy and co in the transfer market and a number of his signings have played a big role this season.
Micky van de Ven got himself a good goal and defended well again. While Timo Werner, a January loan signing, also contributed to the win once again.
Of course, with the summer window to come, Tottenham are in a good position financially to back Postecoglou again.
And speaking about the summer for Spurs, Match of the Day pundit Troy Deeney has said that with the current manager in place, there’s a real possibility the summer is a big one for Spurs.
Troy Deeney shares what’s so exciting for Tottenham right now
Speaking about the Tottenham manager and the future on MOTD2 last night, former Watford striker Deeney admitted that with Postecoglou in charge, players will be keen to sign for Spurs now.
“This is Ange football. They get everybody in the box, even at 2-1 you think just see it out, but James Maddison is breaking away and you can see as this develops now the holding midfield player in Bentancur comes in now, and then just behind are the left-back and the right-back right next to the striker. It’s a hell of a hit from Porro. But there’s been such a change in mentality, youthfulness and the way they are going after people is like ‘right Spurs are here to stay’,” Deeney said.
“The change they have done in this short six or seven months has put them ahead of United and many other teams. It’s exciting to watch and that’s what Spurs’ brand of football has historically been all about. I think with this manager, they will attract a lot of players. Even now we are saying we want to play for someone like that. As a defender you are saying oh I will get a chance to score here. So I think they have a wonderful opportunity.”
Tottenham are expected to back Postecoglou in the market and add more players to the ranks.
On top of incomings, a number of players could also be on their way out.
But one thing is for sure, and that’s that Postecoglou has got people excited about Tottenham once again.
With the right signings, another summer of hard work, and a bit more resilience in certain games, Tottenham could well propel themselves into the title picture next season.
