Football Insider have claimed that Ange Postecoglou is prioritising signing a centre-back during the January transfer window.
Although Cristian Romero has formed a formidable partnership with new signing Micky van de Ven in central defence, Tottenham are short of options in the area should either of them suffer an injury.
18-year-old summer signing Ashely Phillips has been named on the bench on multiple occasions this season, with Postecoglou seemingly not willing to trust Eric Dier.
Alasdair Gold stated in a Q&A for Football.London this week that Spurs will strengthen the position in January, adding that the club could reignite their interest in Bournemouth’s Llyod Kelly.

Number one priority is a centre-back at Tottenham
According to Football Insider, Postecoglou has already made it clear to the Spurs hierarchy that signing a centre-back is his number one priority when the transfer window reopens.
The report reveals that Spurs explored moves for Tosin Adarabioy and Edmond Tapsoba in the summer, and suggests that the Fulham and Bayer Leverkusen stars could once again emerge as their top targets for the club in January.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham will sign at least one centre-back in January and they could potentially even bring two through the door if they manage to offload Eric Dier. I also see the club entering the market for a central midfielder as I expect Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to push for a move.
