Ange Postecoglou pushing Tottenham to explore January move for defender who’s faster than Heung-min Son

Tottenham Hotspur may be forced to dive into the January transfer market after what has been a poor start to the season.

With 11 games now under their belt, Ange Postecoglou’s men are not exactly where they’d like to be as they sit down in 10th spot of the table.

The January transfer market is often viewed as a window of opportunity but Tottenham have problems they need to fix.

Once again, Cristian Romero has suffered a foot injury which is now e🅰xpected to see him miss Argentinไa’s next game.

But it is not just short-term injuries which could hamper Spurs down the line with some of their defenders already being linked with summer m🌱oves away.

Tottenham exploring January move for Tariq Lamptey

According to Football Transfers, Tottenham are now exploring a move for Brighton & Hove Albion right-back Tariq Lamptey.

The defender is now in the final months of his c𝕴ontract on the south coast with Brighton believed to be lookingཧ to sell him in January.

However, it is believe🧜d Tottenham are not the only side showing interest in Lamptey with Everton also keen on the Ghana international.

Right-back could become a position of need for Tottenham with Pedro Porro receiving interest from Real Madrid ahead of the summer.

And that is exactly why Posteco🐻glou is said to be leading the charge for a potential 🔴new right-back addition.

Tariq Lamptey is even faster than Heung-min Son

Lamptey has endured his struggles over recent years with injuries hindering his game time wi🌌th the Seagulls.

The 24-year-old ♏has only played 10 minutes of Prem𝔉ier League football this season as he awaits his first league start under Fabian Hurzeler.

However, when he is fit, Lamptey is known for his im♕pressive pace (22.8 mph) which clocked as even faster than Heung-min Son (21.7 mph) back in 2020.

With Porro potentially heading for the exit in the summer, that could leaꦚve Tottenham with only Djed Spence as the 🧸senior option at right-back.

Spence has signed a new Tottenham contract recently but even his minutes have been few and far between thi𒁃s season.
