Tottenham 'not concerned' by Ange Postecoglou links with Liverpool job

Posted Sunday, February 04, 2024 by givemesport.com

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly a target for Liverpool, but Spurs aren't worried about the Australian departing.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has been linked with the Liverpool job, and Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has shared the internal feeling about the situation to GIVEMESPORT, with the club unfazed by the rumours.

Earlier in the month, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp shocked the world by confirming that he would be leaving the Merseyside club at the end of the season. The German manager has won everything there is to win since arriving at Anfield, and the Liverpool supporters will undoubtedly be petrified about what the future holds without the former Borussia Dortmund man.

Spurs fans may also be worried about what's next for Liverpool, especially if their future involves Australian manager Postecoglou. The Tottenham manager has been linked with the soon-to-be vacant post at Anfield, and he's previously confessed that he supported the Merseyside outfit as a kid. However, Postecoglou only moved to north London in the summer, and there's a good chance he will be hoping to continue building something at Hotspur Way.

Postecoglou linked with Liverpool job

A report from The Times after Klopp had announced his departure ahead of the end of the season suggested that Postecoglou could be attracted to the job when it becomes available. The article suggests that the Merseyside club would have been impressed with his early work since coming to the Premier League, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he was on their shortlist at the end of the campaign.

Worryingly for Spurs fans, Postecoglou previously admitted that he supported Liverpool as a kid...

“It was the ’70s, so you went one of two ways: it seemed they only used to show Liverpool or Man United [in Australia] at the time. So a couple of my best mates went Man United, so I went the other way so we could keep it interesting. Like any kid, I had the posters up on my wall, so Liverpool was my team. But you grow up, things change."

Hiring Postecoglou would certainly be a huge risk for Liverpool considering his lack of experience in the Premier League, especially when they have to follow in the footsteps of someone as successful in England as Klopp.

Spurs could move for Aston Villa star

According to The Athletic, Tottenham are among the clubs showing an interest in signing Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey. The Midlands outfit could be forced to offload the academy graduate to aid their efforts to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations. The report adds that Bayern Munich are also admirers of the England youth international.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Ramsey is a player of interest to Spurs, but it was never likely to happen in January. A move could happen in the summer, with Villa having plenty of time to find a replacement.
