If Tottenham Hotspur could complete a Christmas miracle in the upcoming transfer window, this is how their starting line-up could look

Ange Postecoglou has admitted that Tottenham Hotspur “need to reinforce” their squad in the January transfer window. Spurs have been hit by an injury crisis with seven players unavailable including first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

When Trent Alexander-Arnold received a stray pass behind him in first-half stoppage-time, however, Djed Spence hared forward - directly in front of Postecoglou - in a hopeful press which was never likely to produce the desired results.
