Tottenham’s dream 20-man squad vs Leicester City with Desire Doue and two further transfer deals
There were times last season when Ange Postecoglou had some big calls to make in terms of leaving players out of his Tottenham matchday squad. That wasn’t always the case, however, with multiple injuries and suspensions leaving the Lilywhites incredibly short at times.
Tottenham do have some lofty ambitions going into the 2024/25 season and ideally the Australian needs all his players available on a consistent basis if they are to ultimately achieve their goals. The Lilywhites have already added to their squad for the upcoming season after bringing highly-rated youngsters Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray to the club on long-term deals.
Timo Werner will also be part of the squad again next season after rejoining Spurs on a season-long loan deal from RB Leipzig. More still needs to be done in the transfer market, though, in order to give Postecoglou a squad that can challenge on multiple fronts from August onwards.
So what exactly could the 20-man Tottenham matchday squad look like on the opening weekend of the Premier League season when they travel to Leicester City? football.london takes a look below.
Postecoglou should have a rather simple job in choosing Tottenham’s backline for the game at the King Power Stadium providing of course that everyone is fit and available. Guglielmo Vicario will start in goal, with Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie making up the back four.
Tottenham have already strengthened in midfield this summer following the signings of both Gray and Bergvall but they could really do with adding a top-class No.6 to take them to the very next level. Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who can operate as either a No.6 or No.8, has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a standout season in which he helped the Italian side achieve Europa League glory.
