British media Sky Sports reported on Monday (Korea time) that Postecoglou is committed to developing a team based on his image. "They will focus on recruiting the best talent during the January transfer window," adding, "Tottenham wants to strengthen its squad and reinforce its left wingers and center midfielders starting with the center defender. They prefer players under 24 years old."

With the arrival of Postecoglou, Tottenham has made many changes to its squad. What is most noteworthy is that players who have been with the team for a long time have left or gone out of power. Hugo Lloris (36), who was the captain of the team, failed to show his performance this season, while Eric Dier (29) was also blind. Players who are considered to be groundless, such as Harry Winks (27, Leicester City), Davinson Sanchez (27, Galatasaray), and Harry Kane (30, Bayern Munich), have moved to other teams.

Players in their early 20s, including Brennan Johnson (22), Pape Sarr (21), Destiny Udogi (21), and Mickey Van der Ben (22), took the post. Postecoglou utilized 100 percent of the energy possessed by young players to vitalize his team. Also, players who entered their prime, including James Medicine (27) and Yves Bissouma (27), generated excitement.

However, the sudden attack last month prevented the team from enjoying gusts of wind. Several players including Medicine, Van der Benn and Hishalisson (26) disappeared instantly. Under Postecoglou, who aggressively pressures rival players and requires a lot of activities, some players have become overloaded.

Postecoglou, who had been agonizing over slimming down options, plans to enter the market eventually. The position Tottenham most desperately wants is the central defender. Now, Christian Romero (25) returns from disciplinary action to put out the urgent fire, but if Romero and Van der Ben fail to play, the players' base is so poor that full-backs take charge of central defense. Postecoglou, who wants to recruit, is in favor of young players who can be hired in the long term.

"Sky Sports" said, "Samuel Ealing Jr. (20, Juventus) is one of Tottenham's wingers. Jared Brenthwaite (21, Everton) and Mark Gerwig (23, Crystal Palace) are among the priority players, and Jean-Clerc Todibo (23, OGC Nice) is also the player that Tottenham wants," he said.

Postecoglou signed a four-year contract with Tottenham last summer. Since the 2010s, Tottenham has no manager who has led its team stably for a long time except Mauricio Pochettino (51, Argentina). With Jose Mourinho (60, Portugal) and Antonio Conte (54, Italy), who are nicknamed "winning contractors," having failed, attention is focusing on whether Postecoglou will be able to take power for a long time with his young team.
