Football London, a local newspaper in London, reported on the 19th (Korea time), “Tottenham manager Angé Postecoglou (58) is carrying out plans for the winter transfer market. The club is discussing recruiting Todibo.”

Negotiations are already underway. “Tottenham has talked more about the possibility of acquiring Todibo,” the U.K.’s Daily Mail said. “Newcastle United and Manchester United are also interested in recruiting Todibo. Todibo was sent off at the last match against Le Havre. The team lost 1-3. However, the red card will not cut off interest in him. His ransom is estimated at 35 million pounds (about 58.1 billion won).” 토토사이트

The Daily Mail also reported the details of the transfer. “Todibo’s agent had additional meetings with Tottenham officials. We discussed salary levels,” the newspaper said. “Tottenham is planning to recruit three more players in the upcoming transfer window next month. Eric Dier (29) is likely to cancel his contract. Mickey van de Pen (22) and Ashley Phillips (19) collapsed due to injuries. Christian Romero (25) is walking a tightrope due to frequent exits.”

The player is also positive about his move to Tottenham. “Tottenham knows that Todibo wants to join Postecoglou’s team,” the Daily Mail said. “Tottenham also wants to recruit a midfielder or striker. We know that the Saudi professional league is still trying to recruit Hisharlisong (26). Hisharlisong recently found his form by scoring a goal. He will not send him to Saudi Arabia.”

Postecoglou recently revealed his honest feelings about recruitment. “I also wrote a letter to Santa Claus,” he said in an interview with Football London in the U.K., adding that he is strongly pushing for his transfer. However, the transfer situation requires consent from all stakeholders. Each club will want to retain key players for a long time for their own reasons.

“Football London said that Van de Pen, who suffered a hamstring injury in early November, cannot play until early next year. Even Tottenham lost Romero in three games in the same game due to his ejection. Phillips, who signed a contract for the summer transfer window, is losing ground in Tottenham’s starting line-up after suffering an ankle injury during the A-match in November.”

According to media reports, Todibo, who is rumored to be a Tottenham transfer, made his first-team debut in Toulouse, France, in August 2018. After moving to FC Barcelona, he joined Nice as a loanee. The media reported, “I completed my permanent transfer in 2021. I also made my debut for the French national team in September against Germany. I have been steadily performing in Ligue 1. I am attracting attention from many clubs including Manchester United and Newcastle.”

Nice is on the rise. Nice is ranking second in the French Ligue 1 for the 2023-2024 season with nine wins, five draws, and two losses with 32 points. It has allowed the least number of goals. It has allowed only nine goals in 16 matches, four fewer goals than Paris Saint-Germain (13 goals lost).

Tottenham Hotspur under Postecoglou’s leadership is enjoying some success amid a drastically changed squad this season. Notably, the team had remarkable performance early in the season. Postecoglou appointed Son Heung-min (31) as the first Asian captain in Tottenham’s history. He appointed key defender Romero and new midfielder James Maddison (26) as the vice captain.

He continued his strides without any adjustment period. Tottenham beat difficult rival Manchester United 2-0 in the second round after a 2-2 draw with Brentford in the opening round. The team also beat Bournemouth 2-0 in the match. Postecoglou was named the Premier League secretariat’s manager of the month in his first month in the big league.

He also gained strength at the match against Burnley, the first game in September. Notably, captain Son Heung-min was outstanding. He led the team to a landslide 5-2 win by scoring three goals alone. He also won 2-1 at the match against Sheffield. He has won four consecutive games to maintain the lead.

Tottenham also displayed outstanding performance in the North London derby and Arsenal. Tottenham drew 2-2 in an away match at the Emirates Stadium. By far, Son Heung-min was the best. He scored multiple goals and secured one valuable point. Whenever Tottenham lost a point, they balanced it with fantastic goal-getting power.

He even beat Liverpool, a strong team. Son scored the first goal. He was somewhat lucky. Due to communication errors in the VAR room, Liverpool lost to Luis Díaz (26). Tottenham won 2-1 thanks to their opponent’s own goal right before the game ended. The upward trend continued. Even defenders joined the scoring spree. In the match against Luton Town, Tottenham failed to score a goal due to a somewhat sluggish striker. Van de Pen scored a surprise goal from a set piece. Van de Pen’s winning goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 victory.

Son gained strength again. In the match against Fulham, Son scored one goal and one assist including the winning goal. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Match (MOM). He shook Fulham’s net with his signature curl and even assisted Madison in the second half. At the match against Crystal Palace, he scored the finishing goal with a superb push kick in the 21st minute of the second half when the game was tying 1-1. Tottenham was leading the first 10 matches with eight wins and two draws.

However, Tottenham wept due to consecutive injuries to its key players. The match against Chelsea in round 11 was painful. At the time, Tottenham was shaken significantly in the first half as Van de Pen and Madison were injured. Romero, the vice-captain, was sent off. In the second half, even Destiny Udogi (21) was given a red card due to accumulated warnings. In the match, Tottenham lost 1-4. It was its first Premier League defeat this season.

Tottenham was followed by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa afterwards. They tied the game 3-3 in away games in Manchester City, but lost the game 1-2 to West Ham United. They boldly started using Ben Davies (29) as their central defender in Postecoglou. The effect worked. They beat Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest in succession, successfully reversing the mood. However, Tottenham is still in a hurry to recruit him. In interviews every day, Postecoglou emphasizes the importance of the winter transfer market.
