Tottenham Hotspur have endured a tough campaign under Ange Postecoglou. The club will be in danger if the form does not improve in the last few weeks of the season. With the league campaign already wrapped up and no domestic trophy to fight for, the Lilywhites can firmly set their eyes on the Europa League. The North London club faces an in-form Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Spurs have been hovering in 14th place in the Premier League. The club has registered 15 league losses in just 29 games this term, and Ange Postecoglou is on the verge of losing his job. There were so many expectations from the Spurs fans when the season started, however, it has just not been a season to remember. Numerous injuries and inconsistencies have led to a dismal campaign at N17.
Ange Postecoglou is under tremendous pressure to deliver positive results
Now, Spurs are already said to be in the market in the hope of acting quick and bolstering their squad. The North London club will be hoping to make things right as soon as possible and increase their chances of a strong start to next season.
Tottenham eyeing Fenerbahce talent Yusuf Akcicek
Tottenham Hotspur need to make defensive reinforcements in the summer. The Lilywhites have been leaking a lot of goals and have not managed to keep clean sheets as such. Injuries to centre-backs Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, and Kevin Danso have just showcased the cursed luck the North London club has. That is why it is being suggested that Spurs are in the market for new defenders as well.
According to a report in Fanatik, Tottenham have set their eyes on Fenerbahce talent Yusuf Akcicek. The 19-year-old has impressed in the few games that he has played this season. He is deemed to have a high ceiling and has the potential to be a world-class centre-back.
The report also suggests that Tottenham are not the only club in the race for the Turkish defender. Manchester United are now aiming to lure Akcicek away from Turkey and come to Old Trafford. GIVEMESPORT suggested that Bayern Munich are also aiming to buy the defender in the summer to add depth to their defensive structure.
Akcicek’s Fenerbahce contract runs until 2028, so signing the youngster will not be an easy task. The Turkish defender has featured in 12 games this season for Jose Mourinho, scoring one goal and providing one assist in that time. Spurs need to have defensive reinforcements for next season, and signing a young talent is the right step to take.
