Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham may find themselves in the market for a new winger this summer as they get their plans in place for the upcoming campaign. Having seen Lucas Moura exit the club and Arnaut Danjuma return to Villarreal following his loan spell in north London, Spurs will be rather light out wide unless they add to their playing squad ahead of the summer transfer deadline.
One winger who has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the past is Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic. Joining the Blues ahead of the 2019/20 campaign, the United States international caught the eye during his debut season but has struggled to replicate the same levels on a consistent basis since then, with injury playing a major part in his woes.
A key summer for the 24-year-old with his future very much up in the air as Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea get their squad in shape for the new season, Pulisic may well find himself looking for a new challenge elsewhere. Former Tottenham man Brad Friedel believes that his fellow countryman could be a huge success in north London following the appointment of Postecoglou as head coach.
As the Australian's teams do play a very attacking brand of football, the former goalkeeper is convinced that Pulisic would flourish playing under the former Celtic boss.
"Under certain managers I would have said no, this is nothing against Christian as of course Christian is an excellent player, but Postecoglou's style, yeah! That type of player I think there's a few things in his style as he likes to have the ball, Christian is very good with his feet, he like dynamic players and dynamic movements, and Christian has that," said Friedel when speaking to football.london on behalf of OLBG.
"One of the issues on that transfer, though, is the money. They spent a lot of money on him at Chelsea and he's on a wage at Chelsea, to my understanding, which is more than what Tottenham pay. That will be a big part of if something like that could occur.

"I know not everything is always about the finances and perhaps Christian would take a pay cut to play. If he does leave the country then inevitably he's either going to need to get paid out or take a pay cut as not everyone across Europe is going to be able to pay him what Chelsea does.
"That is the type of player and winger Postecoglou would like. He would fit into his style and I think the Tottenham fans, other than his Chelsea ties as that would be another interesting one, they would love him. Maybe the Tottenham fans would like the fact he's come over and with Mauricio [Pochettino] going to Chelsea that would lessen the blow a little bit."
