Tottenham identify position they want to strengthen in January

Spurs will want to sign a creative midfielder with box-to-box ability in the January transfer window, according to transfer expert Ben Jacobs.

A fresh creative midfield player is what Tottenham is hoping to get ahead of the January transfer window, according to Ben Jacobs of Caught Offside. To support Spurs’ quest for the Premier League championship, the transfer analyst believes Ange Postecoglou will probably give priority to a box-to-bix midfielder.

Tottenham has benefited from Ange Postecoglou’s new ideas, and the team has rapidly adapted to his ways. The Australian offered creative ideas to the team. Spurs maintained their two-point advantage at the top of the Premier League standings over the weekend with a dominant victory against Crystal Palace.

It will be a while before Tottenham can be considered a title contender, considering the season is only 10 games old. Although their starting eleven has a lot of potential, Postecoglou will want to address concerns about the depth of his team in a number of areas during the January transfer window.

In addition to needing a central defender, Postecoglou takes into account additions on the attack, albeit in different amounts. For example, if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg were to leave, they may look to trade for a different kind of midfield player.

To relieve captain Heung-min Son of some of the load, they may also wish to bring in a fresh goal scorer.Santiago Gimenez, a Mexican, and a few other names are still on the target list. On the subject of the new midfielder, Ben Jacobs, a transfer specialist, believes Postecoglou may aim for a creative outlet with box-to-box ability.

 

Jacobs said, “I wonder if Spurs will move in January if they feel that they are in the mix for the Premier League or to consolidate the Champions League.”

“Son has assumed the Harry Kane role, but if his goals dry up, you start looking at Richarlison and Brennan Johnson to weigh in. That is where one more creative-minded player might be quite important to Tottenham.

“In January, I can see them going for a box-to-box midfielder, capable of playing a disciplined role in central midfield but also breaking forward and scoring, like Odegaard at Arsenal.

“Tottenham looked at Conor Gallagher but they didn’t like the price, but that kind of profile might be something Tottenham explore.”

 

In light of this, the latest connections to Fabian Ruiz make perfect sense. Nevertheless, with James Maddison currently in his lineup, Postecoglou may not view acquiring a creative midfield player as a top priority. For Tottenham’s needs, bringing in a true box-to-box midfield player is ideal.

They are also interested in wide attackers, and Jadon Sancho of Manchester United is still a target, in addition to Karem Akturkoglu.

In order to improve his team’s prospects of winning the championship, Postecoglou will probably want to add a goal scorer, a midfielder, and a defender in January. The media will present many names at this time, but ultimately the club and its manager will have to make the final selection.
