‘Need a centre-back’ – Ange Postecoglou
Ande Postecoglou has revealed that Tottenham are interested in signing a new centre-back despite Ben Davies’ inspired performances.
He said: “I thought Ben Davies was outstanding. He’s getting a run of games. We’ve got to be mindful he’s not a centre-back and he’s growing into that role.
“Ben is still adapting to it. He’s done remarkably well. Centre-back is still a position, especially in our structure, where you need outstanding attributes and we’ve been very fortunate to have him that he’s been able to adapt there.
“He’s great at taking on information. He’s been helped by having Romero back and Vic has taken on a leadership role back there as well.
“We need to sign another centre-back though because at the moment we’re on tenterhooks in case something else happens there.”
