‘Give Ange some help’ – Jurgen Klinsmann makes passionate plea to Spurs hierarchy

Jurgen Klinsmann has said that Tottenham Hotspur need reinforcements in all departments across the pitch if they are to harbour hopes of competing with the best sides in the Premier League next season.

The Ange Postecoglou era at Spurs got off to a brilliant start, with the Lilywhites sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table around November.

At the time, some Tottenham fans might have even been dreaming about a potential title tilt but the wheels came off towards the end of the season, with the Lilywhites eventually stumbling to a fifth-place finish and missing out on Champions League qualification.

Postecoglou has been pretty vocal about the need for wholesale changes to the squad, with the Australian admitting that some tough decisions will have to be made this summer, with the club needing to sign players who are better suited to his system (Football.London).

Tottenham need reinforcements in all departments

Klinsmann believes that Tottenham need reinforcements in defence, midfield and upfront, calling on the club’s hierarchy to back their manager this summer and give him a chance to compete next season.

The former Spurs man told ESPN: “Spurs definitely need reinforcements. I think they need in all departments. Let us leave aside maybe the goalkeeper Vicario. He was fantastic throughout the year.

“But you need to go through the back four. You need to go through, especially the defensive midfield and you need another one or two strikers that deliver you at least 15 goals.

“Son is pretty much by himself up top. A bit Kulusevski and then there isn’t much left. I think they need to get into the market and find some talent.

“Give Ange some help here. He will be from the beginning under different pressure and a different expectation from the fans than he was in his first year. They want more.”

In an age before the internet, Klinsmann’s arrival at Tottenham under the chairmanship of Alan Sugar came somewhat as a surprise with the German going on to make 68 appearances and score 38 goals across all competitions during his two stints in N17 (transfermarkt).

This summer is an ideal opportunity for Spurs to flex their financial muscle as they have a huge advantage when compared to many other sides due to their PSR position.

Daniel Levy and the club’s hierarchy will need to show belief in Ange’s methods by giving the 58-year-old what he needs.

Klinsmann is right in saying that there are multiple positions which need reinforcements, the club should be doing everything they can to sign Atalanta’s Ederson and a focal point to their attack.
