Spurs set sights on "monster" signing who'd have Van de Ven running scared

Tottenham Hotspur's maiden year under Ange Postecoglou has suddenly seen a fresh layer of concern carpeted over the stadium in north London, with the squad defeated 4-0 against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Spurs have ebbed back away from fourth place after Aston Villa secured a stunning win over title-chasing Arsenal on Sunday and now find their fears of missing out on Champions League football next season heightened. Postecoglou's side have made progress this season but top four would entice the biggest prospects with a move to the club, with one such player currently being lined up to improve the defence.
