Postecoglou urges Tottenham fans to be patient amid transfer ´misinformation´

Ange Postecoglou has urged Tottenham fans to have patience when it comes to bringing new players in during the transfer window.

Spurs have signed just two new faces so far, with Archie Gray joining from Leeds United in a deal reportedly worth up to £40million, and Lucas Bergvall signing from Djurgardens.

Alongside the two 18-year-olds, Timo Werner has also been resigned on loan for the upcoming season. He enjoyed an impressive start after initially joining in January, as he contributed two goals and three assists, but his season was ended prematurely by injury.

While the Spurs faithful are keen for their club to bring more reinforcements, Postecoglou asked for their trust as the club works towards adding to the squad.

“At this time of year, it’s pretty hard for supporters because they don’t have all the information, and it’s fair to say there’s plenty of misinformation out there,” he said in a press conference.

“We’re working hard to bring players in, and it’s a process that you sometimes have to be patient with. But in terms of what we set out to do, that’s still the plan, and you have to stay disciplined with that.

“Sometimes the timings don’t work out, and it doesn’t happen as quickly as you want, and you don’t get them [players] in at the right time, but I think it’s really important you stay disciplined and not run off and chase other things.

“So, what we started with at the start of summer is still there, and I wouldn’t want to put timelines on it. A lot of that is out of our control, and we just need to be patient.

“From where I sit, at the moment, we’re still in that phase where what we identified is still what we’re after.”

Spurs will face Japanese side Vissel Kobe in their next pre-season match on Saturday.
