Postecoglou didn’t want Fati

Ornstein shared what he knows about the player.

“Clearly Ansu Fati was seen as Xavi and Barcelona as among the names they were wil♒ling to part🌌 with. A number of clubs were offered him including Tottenham and Chelsea, they considered it, in the case of Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou was keen to pursue a different profile of forward, it appears that is Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest,” Ornstein said.

Why not?

It’s hard to🐬 understand why Postecoglou didn’t want Fati because from the outside looking in, the Spaniard would be a perfect fit for the Australian.

He’s fast, he 🔯gets in behind, he’s versatile and he’s energetic. There’s so much to like about Fati if you’re Postecoglou.

For some reason, the Spurs boss didn’t fancy the Barcelona star, and now it looks like he’ll be headed ❀to Brightoꦛn instead.

Tottenham will explore other options, and it appears th🍎at Brennan Johnson could indeed be the man they t🧜urn to.
