The Australian has won trophies in his second year at various clubs during his career, however, that is in the balance with Tottenham. The Europa League is the only silverware Spurs can win between now and the end of the campaign and are set to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals next month.
However, there have been claims that Tottenham could still sack Postecoglou even if they win the Europa League, with a plethora of managers linked with moves to Spurs.
Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth and Fulham’s Marco Silva have both been mooted as potential targets for Tottenham, however, those behind the scenes look on course to make their first player signing ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Tottenham in pole position to sign Angel Gomes for free
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are leading the race to sign Angel Gomes on a free transfer when his Lille contract expires.
Spurs appear to be closing in on a deal and are in pole position for the 24-year-old midfielder, who won his first cap for England towards the end of 2024.
Gomes, who has turned down an offer to join West Ham, also has interest from clubs in France, Spain and Germany, however, a move to Tottenham appears to be on the cards.
This comes after Football Insider expert and ex-scout Mick Brown claimed that Spurs have already held talks to secure Gomes’ services.
“I think Gomes would be a good fit for them on a free transfer. From what I hear as well, the manager likes what he’s seen from him, so it’s one that makes a lot of sense.
“He’ll know how he sees him fitting into the side, what he wants him to do and how he wants him to play. They’ll already be speaking to his agent and representatives about a deal because they’re not the only club interested – we’ve spoken about West Ham already.
“So they’ll want to convince him that Tottenham is the right move for his career.”
