Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted that his injury-ravaged squad "needs help" in the form of January transfers.

Having been browbeaten by the negativity of previous coaches having a manager who didn't dismiss the idea the team could be title challengers was refreshing.

Edin Terzic is the favourite to replace Postecoglou however, having been out of work since leaving Borussia Dortmund after guiding them to last season’s Champions League final. Fulham’s Marco Silva, Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola are also leading contenders.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says the club are in a stronger position than when he took charge, despite their poor form this season.

Spurs will miss the services of eight crucial first-team players, namely Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Wilson Odobert,
