‘It would be amazing’… Former England international striker says he’d love to manage Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou is doing an amazing job at Tottenham, but there’s already a coach eyeing up his job.

Indeed, speaking to The Mail, Jermain Defoe has been speaking about his managerial ambitions, and he says that it would be amazing to manage Tottenham one day.

Of course, Defoe is a Spurs legend in his own right after an incredible playing career with the north London club, and as he looks to take his first steps into management, he’s keen to work with Spurs.

The 41-year-old spoke about his ambitions.“It would be amazing to manage Tottenham,” Defoe said.“And the crazy thing about football is you never know. An opportunity could be around the corner.”

Defoe is some way away from being considered for this type of job at the moment. After all, he’s never even been a manager at this point.

However, we’d never say never on this one.

There’s an ever-increasing trend of club legends being brought in to manage top sides these days.

Mikel Arteta is at Arsenal, Frank Lampard was at Chelsea not too long ago, Xavi is the current Barcelona manager, while Zinedine Zidane was Real Madrid’s most successful manager in recent times.

Defoe does need to cut his teeth elsewhere, but if he manages to increase his stock in a managerial sense, it may not be too long before he is considered by Tottenham.

We have no idea whether or not Defoe has what it takes to be a top manager, but after he impressed Brighton’s CEO in a mock interview, perhaps the former England striker has what it takes to sit in the dugout at a top Premier League club.

This may be something to keep in the back of your mind over the next few years.

Tottenham to make ‘early move’ to sign Conor Gallagher

 

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make an ‘early move’ to sign Chelsea star Conor Gallagher this summer, as per 90min.

The Lilywhites hold a long-term interest in the midfielder as they have heavily been linked with a move for him over the last year or so. But, they haven’t been able to secure his signature yet, however, things could be different in the upcoming summer window.

According to the report by 90min, Chelsea are preparing to cash-in on Gallagher as he is set to enter the final year of his current contract and the two parties have been struggling to reach an agreement over a new deal.

The report further claims that Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to keep hold of the Englishman but the Blues want to let him leave and want a fee of around £60m.

Gallagher to Tottenham

90min also states that Tottenham are interested in signing him and could make an ‘early move’ to secure his signature. The report further says that Spurs are hoping to get this deal done for a fee of around £50m so they will have to splash a big fee to sign their key target.

Tottenham have enjoyed a stellar campaign this term and it is almost certain that they are set to qualify for Europe next season. So, Spurs will need proper squad depth to achieve success in every competition next campaign.

Although the engine room is an area – where the Lilywhites are well-stocked at the moment, they could look to sign a new option should they opt to cash-in on any of their current options.

Gallagher is a highly talented player and could be an ideal option to play in Ange Postecoglou’s high-pressing style of football. So, the Chelsea star could be a great coup for Tottenham if they purchase him.

However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club can manage to lure Gallagher to the newly renovated White Hart Lane if he eventually leaves Chelsea at the end of this season.

Meanwhile, following a crucial victory over Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend, Spurs will face off against Wolverhampton Wanderers this Saturday. So, Postecoglou’s side will be desperate to win the game versus Gary O’Neil’s side to continue their top-four charge.
