‘Outstanding’ Tottenham star praised by Ange Postecoglou could now leave in last-gasp transfer

The English transfer window has closed but one Tottenham player could still be on the move this week.

There was a big clear-out at Tottenham this summer as Ange Postecoglou made his mark on the squad one year on from his appointment as manager.

Nine players left the club, including five as free agents, while five new players were brought in to bolster the first-team squad.

Tottenham even backed Postecoglou with a club-record £65m deal for Dominic Solanke, who was described as one of the “top three” signings of the summer.

Overall, it was a great summer for Spurs after managing to clear out several fringe players while adding young talent to their squad.

But their business is not done yet with one player now subject to interest from Turkey.

Galatasaray target Ben Davies deal

Postecoglou has made his thoughts on Ben Davies very clear this season after leaving him on the bench for all three of their Premier League games.

Destiny Udogie has cemented a starting spot at Spurs and pushed Davies down the pecking order, and he has now been offered a route out of North London.

According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Galatasaray have set their sights on a possible deal for Ben Davies after his lack of game time this season.

The Turkish giants are pleased with their deal to sign Davinson Sanchez from Spurs and are hopeful that they can reunite him with Davies.

Davies only has one year remaining on his deal at Tottenham, so Spurs could be open to a deal for the 31-year-old.

Any deal would have to be finalised before the Turkish transfer window closes on Friday.

Tottenham can afford to let Ben Davies go

Postecoglou has previously praised Davies for his “outstanding” character, but it is clear that he is no longer deemed a starter for Spurs.

Udogie has locked down the left-back position and even in his absence, Spurs have played Micky van de Ven on the left.

Sergio Reguilon is another option at left-back, although his future at the club is also up in the air after he was left out of their Europa League squad.

But ultimately, Spurs have enough depth at the back that if Davies agreed to a move, they can afford to let him go. However, expect a new left-back to be targeted either in January or next summer if that is the case.
