Postecoglou doesn't want defenders in January

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed reservations about strengthening his defensive lineup in the upcoming transfer window.

With Ben Davies, Micky Van de Ven, and Cristian Romero nearing returns from injury, and Destiny Udogie also on the road to full fitness, Postecoglou is weighing his options. When asked about the possibility of adding a left-back, given Djed Spence’s recent stint in the position, the Spurs boss said: "It depends, we're in a tricky situation. Ben Davies can play left-back, we could have three very, very good defenders coming back in very quickly.

"Destiny [Udogie] will be a bit longer. It's a bit of a balancing act. The beauty of bringing in someone like Antonin Kinsky is he was part of our plans anyway. I'm really reluctant to bring in another body for the sake of it. They have to either fit into what we're trying to do or is going to help us straight away. Those are the kind of criteria we're looking at."
