US EditionPostecoglou reveals the four top players he wanted to sign for Spurs
Postecoglou said Tottenham’s wage structure and lack of Champions League revenue blocked signings of four top targets in 2024, leading to investment in younger, unproven players.
- On Stick To Football, Postecoglou revealed he had urged Tottenham to sign four of the Premier League's best players in the summer of 2024.
- He argued Tottenham's wage structure prevented signing established players, saying they "are not a big club" and lacked money despite finishing fifth.
- Rather than proven Premier League names, Tottenham signed Dominic Solanke and three teenagers, while Postecoglou targeted Pedro Neto, Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo, and Marc Guehi.
- Postecoglou's two-year spell at Spurs lasted from July 2023 to June 2025, producing a Europa League win but finishing 17th in the Premier League, which cost him his job.
- He warned the club's public ambition clashed with its actions, noting Daniel Levy's exit and a major pivot last year created instability and that the safe path may have sacrificed risks needed to win.
