Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, is looking to make a big move for a star player from his old club Celtic, who is valued at £25m.
Ange Postecoglou could come back to haunt former club Celtic for a player he signed for the Scottish side.
The Australian coach has given Spurs fans something to cheer about after they started the season off with flying colours, winning 2-0 over Man Utd and 5-2 at Burnley. And he’s already looking to add another striker, even though they’ve scored 11 goals in the first four games. TeamTALK reports that Maeda is the perfect addition to his team, and Celtic are willing to pay a big fee for him. They let Jota go to Saudi Arabia this summer for around £25m, and it’s said they’d be willing to pay a similar fee to let him go. We’ll have to wait and see if Spurs have any cash left after spending big on Vicario and Maddison this summer.
Spurs also added two new attackers after acquiring Brennan Johnson and Manor Solomon from Nottingham Forest and Shakhtar Donetsk respectively, while Dejan Kulusevski’s loan from Juventus was turned into a permanent move to represent a total outlay of £75m. But Postecoglou’s deployment of Son Heung-min could change his plans
The South Korean bagged a hat-trick against Burnley and, after Harry Kane’s exit and Richarlison’s on-pitch struggles, captain Son could be tasked with playing through the middle while £45m new boy Johnson gets to grips with his new club.
It also means that Spurs could be looking for another wide player – and that is where Maeda could come in. The winger was a revelation for Japan at the World Cup and he is a player that Postecoglou knows well from his time at Celtic Park.
