Postecoglou eyes new transfer target
Ange Postecoglou has put a new centre-back option on his transfer wish list alongside Bayer Leverkusen Edmond Tapsoba.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven has his admirers at Hotspur Way with initial talks already having taken place.
Following his breakthrough season in the Bundesliga, Liverpool have also registered an interest with the German club set to demand €30 million (£26million) to sanction an exit.
