Tottenham have not had last season's flying start but there are signs that Postecoglou could be the perfect long-term fit for the club

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou will continue to try and restore Timo Werner’s confidence, but has acknowledged they need more from the out-of-form attacker. Werner was replaced at half-time of Thursday’s 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League after another mixed display where he squandered a big chance in the 27th minute.

Ange Postecoglou has praised Mikey Moore’s maturity but admitted it will be “pretty hard to keep a lid” on the Tottenham Hotspur winger’s talent after he was compared to Neymar by James Maddison. Moore became the youngest player to represent Tottenham in the Premier League in May when he came off the bench against Manchester City aged 16 but Postecoglou has been cautious with his playing time.
