View: 100% Tottenham loanee sends Ange Postecoglou a message after what he did y'day

Ashley Phillips has demonstrated to Ange Postecoglou that he could have a very bright future at Tottenham.

Spurs are currently well-stocked when it comes to talented centre-backs in North London.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the club’s current starting options, while Postecoglou’s third-choice option, Radu Drăgușin, has also been praised very highly.

In addition, there are several promising young defenders at Hotspur Way, including one who has been compared with legendary centre-back Ledley King.

Therefore, it is an exciting time for Postecoglou when it comes to his long-term defensive options, and Phillips’ recent display would have only increased those excitement levels.

Ashley Phillips sends a message to Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou

Phillips is playing his football on loan with Stoke City this season. The 19-year-old struggled for game time upon his arrival at the bet365 Stadium.

However, he has since turned things around, starting the past four consecutive matches for the Potters.

That would have only impressed Postecoglou more, to see the defender fight through versatility and stake his place in the Stoke City team.

And Phillips’ most recent display, in a 2-0 Championship win away at his former club Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday (6 November), was arguably his most impressive performance of the season yet.

As per Sofascore, Phillips made six clearances and blocked three shots, while he also made one tackle and one interception.

In addition, he won 100 per cent of his ground duels, and five of his eight aerial duels, while also managing to avoid giving away any free-kicks.

Postecoglou would have been most impressed by Phillips’ display on the ball. The England youth international completed 90 per cent of his passes, while two of his three long balls forward were accurate.

It was a promising display and one which demonstrated that Phillips could soon be ready to make an impact under Postecoglou in North London.

In other Tottenham news, Daniel Levy could make a statement by signing Sunderland wonderkid Chris Rigg.
