sport news Ange Postecoglou's bond with Kyogo is clear and he's a perfect fit for Spurs trends now Some managers make it clear they will never go back and raid their old team. Others keep quiet and do it if they feel the need. Time will tell which side of the fence Ange Postecoglou falls on. But I don’t take the Australian for being a sentimental type. He’s a tough guy who makes big decisions for the benefit of his employers. And I do wonder whether that will lead him back to Parkhead when he begins the work of trying to rebuild Tottenham Hotspur into a genuine force in English football. It’s really interesting that Postecoglou wants to take key members of his backroom staff with him from Celtic. It’s a change of policy from how he’s previously operated. What’s even more fascinating is whether a desire to be surrounded by people he trusts extends to signing players from the club he’s now poised to leave. Where one name is concerned, it seems like a logical solution to one of the issues Postecoglou might have to face in North London. Ange Postecoglou looks set to be named Tottenham's new manager in the coming days It would not be a surprise to see him take Kyogo Furuhashi (above) with him to Spurs His admiration for Kyogo Furuhashi — as both a player and a person — is clearly immense. Postecoglou has said that, when he was working in Japan, he already knew that he wanted to make the striker his first signing if he ever got a job in Europe. No matter which club or country it was, Furuhashi was coming with him. That level of faith is unusual. And it feels particularly relevant when you consider the wider situation at Tottenham. We don’t know what is going to happen with Harry Kane this summer, although Spurs insist he’s not for sale. He’s been linked with Real Madrid after Karim Benzema’s decision to leave for Saudi Arabia. Manchester United, too, have a long-standing interest. Spurs are going to need a new forward. If not to replace Kane immediately, then at least to give another credible option in that department. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Furuhashi ended up joining Postecoglou in London at some point. And I could see him being a success, too. With his movement, his intelligence, his finishing and his work-rate, I think he could handle the step up in quality. He would be a handful even for the more switched-on defenders of the Premier League and, crucially, would understand what his manager wanted from him. That’s only part of the equation, of course. Would Celtic let their most prolific goalscorer follow their manager out of the door in the same summer? It would have to be a really significant financial offer for a player who still has two years left on his contract. In my view, though, Furuhashi has the ability to make an impact at Spurs. And they have the money to try and make a deal happen if it’s what Postecoglou wants. His record in the transfer market at Celtic was excellent. A big part of that was looking to players he knew extremely well. Hence the signings from Japan. Postecoglou has been very successful in the transfer market during his two years at Celtic I don’t think he will do it to the same extent with Tottenham but there’s every chance an element of that approach will continue. Getting players who know the system, know his demands and have the quality to succeed feels like an obvious move for a manager whose approach puts high demands on a team. Furuhashi’s name stands out for me. Are there others? Well, I’ve been a great fan of Cameron Carter-Vickers since he came to Celtic. He’s been in a class of his own in Scotland. But I’m well aware he was at Spurs before and didn’t make a first-team breakthrough, so I don’t know whether it would be something that could work. Jota is the other intriguing one. On his day, he’s a terrific talent. He can make goals, score goals and provide an X-factor to a team. He’s got the potential to be even better than he is just now, but the relentless nature of the Premier League presents a different challenge. Is he ready to be stable enough in his performances week after week at this stage of his development? That’s open to debate. I’d put him down as a maybe. Postecoglou may also try to sign Celtic forward Jota in his first transfer window at Tottenham As I said earlier, looking from the outside, I see Postecoglou as a very level-headed, clever guy. He does what needs to be done for success. All top managers have a ruthless streak and I think we’ve seen that within him. In the past, he could move to a new club and be quite happy to accept the coaching staff already there. From Australia to Japan and then Scotland, it was pretty much the way he worked. Going down to the Premier League is different. I think he knows he will be under immense pressure from the off and the margin for error becomes smaller given the widespread quality of the opposition. You need people you can trust 100 per cent in that situation. Transforming a team like Tottenham is a huge job but it becomes a bit easier if you are working with coaches who already know exactly how you work. John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan have been by his side for the last two years. They are on the same page. They understand his methods and know how best to implement them on a new group of players. Postecoglou will have seen how Kennedy and Strachan react in both good and bad times. He clearly rates their input and, from his own perspective, it’s wise for him to try and prise them away from Celtic. Whether they end up going might depend on other factors. John Kennedy (right) and Gavin Strachan (left) look set to join Postecoglou at Spurs, and Celtic's loss will be Tottenham's gain Celtic fans will be upset by Postecoglou’s impending departure. In contrast, Rangers supporters will love seeing the back of him. Both are testaments to how well he’s done. While it doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to accept at Parkhead, I said last week that it should be viewed as a great thing for Scottish football that a manager can go from there to such a historic club in England. It shows what’s possible and makes the environment in Scotland that little bit more attractive to ambitious coaches and players. Of course, the feeling in England is more mixed. I’ve seen a lot of Tottenham fans saying they’re not convinced about Postecoglou being the right man. It feels almost like a re-run of the situation when he first came to Celtic two years ago. I’ll be honest and say I didn’t know much about him then. When I first heard of his appointment, I thought it was strange given his lack of experience in British or even European football. But he made all the doubters look like fools in Glasgow. And he can do the same in London. I really believe that. Celtic’s loss will be Spurs’ gain.
