Tottenham is looking for a new center back in January. Due to Trevoh Chalobah’s recent injury issues, the team has lost interest in the Chelsea defender.

Due to worries about Trevoh Chalobah’s recent injury issues, Tottenham has cooled their interest in the Chelsea defender and will be shopping for a new center back in January.

On summer’s Deadline Day, Spurs considered signing him, but he was already sidelined for two weeks due to a hamstring injury.

After suffering another setback, Chalobah is predicted to be sidelined until early January, which means he will have missed nearly half of the year.

The 24-year-old is still wanted by Bayern Munich, but a January transfer would be risky for both the player and a new team, so it’s more likely that he will stay for the duration of the current campaign.

After signing Micky van de Ven in the summer, Spurs wanted to add another center back, and their desire has only grown stronger in the wake of the Dutchman’s hamstring injury, which will keep him out until the new year.

The club is lining up targets who are left- or right-footed, so while another left-footer is preferred, it is not a deal-breaker.

The top flight referees’ attitudes and behaviors, according to Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, need to change.

Ahead of this month’s home loss to Chelsea, Postecoglou received his first booking as a manager of the Spurs. When asked last night if managers and players needed to improve, Postecoglou responded to Mail Sport with a resounding “yes.” Even though I hadn’t been abused, I felt ashamed of myself for getting booked. It was to get out of the technical zone.

Everyone who has played the game for any amount of time will tell you that we have all made poor decisions and benefited from them. We are aware that’s a component of the strategy. Our game’s beauty lies in that. Since we are working with human beings, it has flaws.

“What are the juvenile referees going to do and observe if I step back and consider the junior playground where they are attempting to do it?”

Along the way, there is definitely some behavior that needs to be addressed. Although it’s simple for me to say, I have to make sure I lead by example.

“I am competitive like everyone else.” I wish to triumph. I detest it when I make a bad choice that keeps me from winning a game. But eventually, you have to show respect for the game officials. What’s the point if not? According to Postecoglou, referees now have it harder than before because of the implementation of VAR.

“I believe VAR has contributed,” he continued. We’ve reduced the importance of officials and all but eliminated their ability to do their jobs.

“I’m thinking about referees not having the same authority they once had when they step onto a playing field.” because every choice is called into question.

We now have an external referee for our game. How then are you supposed to have any authority over the players as an official?

It is our duty as managers to lead by example.

“In general, I don’t like the direction we are taking that aspect of the game.”
