Ange Postecoglou: Tottenham remain attractive despite transfer setback

With the deadline fast approaching on Monday, Spurs have yet to sign an outfield player, leaving fans eager for reinforcements.

One of Tottenham's key targets was Bayern Munich's highly rated forward Mathys Tel. The 19-year-old Frenchman was the subject of discussions between Spurs and the German champions, but ultimately, Tel rejected the opportunity to move to North London.

Despite this setback, Postecoglou remains confident in the club's ability to attract top talent.

However, time is running out for Tottenham to bolster their squad before the window closes.

"It depends what the players are looking for," Postecoglou said on potential new signings.

"You can look at it two ways, OK the league form is not great but there's some pretty big possibilities to have success here in the last three or four months.

"It's still a big club, it's still a club that can challenge for honours and it's whether the player sees the potential that we see right now, or certainly that I see. If it's too much of a hard sell, it's probably not the right one for us.

"You need a bit of discipline. The one thing I don't want to do is bring somebody in who is just going to be another body.

"I don't think that serves any purpose knowing what we've got coming. That aside, there is definitely a need for us and has been a need. That's why we've been looking for a player or two to help us with what's ahead, but they have to be the right types and fit in with what we're doing.

"I guess that's the tricky bit. There are plenty of players available but are they going to be the right ones? That's the question for us."
