So, unless an ‘unmissable opportunity arises’ on the market, Tottenham are not expected to sign either a right-back or a left-back this summer.
The journalist states that Emerson Royal has the engine to fit into Postecoglou’s system while the Australian is a fan of Pedro Porro.
It is alleged that if the new Spurs boss feels Djed Spence cannot get sufficient game time at the club next season, the 22-year-old would be allowed to leave on loan yet again.
Destiny Udogie will get a chance at left-back
Gold asserts that Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies are expected to compete for the left-back role while there is a possibility that Ryan Sessegnon could be loaned out if Postecolgou feels the former Fulham man would struggle to break into the side.
Finally, the journalist also adds that both Sergio Reguilon and Ivan Perisic have been tipped to leave Hotspur Way this summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
While overlapping might not be the strength of Ben Davies and Emerson Royal, both players have the attributes to do well as inverted full-backs, which Postecoglou prefers.
I do not think Porro has the qualities to thrive in that role, which is why I expect the Spaniard to be used further forward.
