Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for a new central defender in the January transfer window with manager Ange Postecoglou admitting they are thinly covered at the back.
“I thought Ben Davies was outstanding (in Sunday’s win against Newcastle United). He’s getting a run of games,” Postecoglou, told reporters ahead of Friday’s Premier League visit to lowly Nottingham Forest.
“We’ve got to be mindful he’s not a centre-back and he’s growing into that role. Ultimately we need to sign another centre-back though because at the moment we’re on tenterhooks in case something else happens.”
“Unfortunately he got a bit of a niggle at training, I don’t know what it is, but he missed training today so he’s not available tomorrow. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious,” Postecoglou said.
