If Ange Postecoglou signs Timo Werner for Tottenham, then his judgment needs to be trusted until the Australian is proved wrong.
That’s also true for any talent that the manager allows to leave the club.
‘Big Ange’ has certainly changed the culture at Spurs since he joined but it’s fair to suggest that there were dissenting voices amongst the White Hart Lane faithful upon news of his appointment.
After having to put up with the likes of Nuno Espirito Santo, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, Tottneham’s long-suffering fans could’ve been forgiven for thinking here we go again, though that does show an alarming lack of respect for a man that was coming off the back of winning a treble.
Within the space of a few games, the 53-year-old had soon won everyone over, his no-nonsense, direct manner and style of play a breath of fresh air for the north Londoners.
Now, just over halfway through his debut Premier League campaign, there’s likely to be a few changes as he looks to push Tottenham forward to success and, hopefully, silverware.
Not everyone is going to share in that journey, however, and according to Sky Sports Italy (h/t Sky Sports), Fiorentina are casting admiring glances in Bryan Gil’s direction.
The report also notes that Spurs are open to talking about the player who spent the second half of last season on loan at La Liga outfit, Sevilla.
