Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer strategy seems to have shifted a bit in recent years.
Indeed, once upon a time, Spurs’ transfer strategy was defined by big-money additions from abroad, but these didn’t always work out.
The likes of Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Davinson Sanchez all haven’t lived up to expectations after big-money moves from other leagues.
Spurs have now seemingly moved towards a strategy of signing more tried and trusted players.
Whether that’s signing players figures such as Fabio Paratici knows well from Serie A or signing Premier League proven talent such as Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, James Maddison and Yves Bissouma, Spurs seem to be going for players they know they can trust.
Speaking on Last Word on Spurs, Darren Lewis has been discussing this transfer strategy, and he stated that he thinks Tottenham could end up signing a couple of players from Celtic this summer as Ange Postecoglou will know them well and know he can trust them.
Tottenham tipped to sign one or two players from Celtic
Lewis shared his verdict on what Spurs may do in this window.
“Both of you know that there are so many players over so many years Spurs have taken risks on,” Lewis said.
Now you are looking at players who have done it in British football and the manager trusts. That’s why I think one or two players from Celtic could come in who have played for him before. If not, I think the players who come in will have some level of experience.”
Celtic players could step up
It wouldn’t be a surprise at all if Spurs did go after a couple of Celtic players in this window, and there are two players who standout who are ripe for the picking.
Matt O’Riley has just had an incredible season, and O’Riley has been linked to Tottenham recently.
Meanwhile, Kyogo Furuhashi was strongly linked to Spurs last year, and he’s continuing to show his quality up in Scotland.
Given that Tottenham like to sign tried and trusted players these days, don’t be shocked if Postecoglou comes knocking on his former club’s door.
