View: 'Superb' Tottenham gem can solve Ange Postecoglou issue after U21 'Heroics' y'day

Aaron Maguire could be a long-term solution for an issue Ange Postecoglou faces at Tottenham.

Guglielmo Vicario is the current number one between the sticks at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, the competition for places behind the Italian isn’t exactly fierce. Spurs’ current number two, Fraser Forster, has demonstrated both weaknesses and strengths with his performances this season.

He struggled massively in Spurs’ 2-1 victory in the third round of the Carabao Cup against Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena (18 September), while he looked much more assured in the 1-0 UEFA Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (24 October).

However, regardless of how he plays this season with his limited minutes, Forster is 36 years old. Therefore, he will likely soon be on his way out of Spurs, especially with his contract expiring next summer.

As a result, this leaves Postecoglou with an issue as he could perhaps soon be looking for a brand-new number two in North London. However, after Maguire’s recent performance for Spurs’ Under-21s, the Australian might already have a long-term solution to that problem.

Aaron Maguire shines for Tottenham Under-21s v Ebbsfleet United

Spurs’ Under-21s and Ebbsfleet United played out a 1-1 draw in the group stages of the National League Cup at the Kuflink Stadium on Tuesday (29 October).

Rio Kyerematen’s 23rd-minute opener was cancelled out by Ebbsfleet’s Ben Chapman just before the break, with Maguire making some saves late on to keep the score level.

As per the competition rules, the match headed to a penalty shoot-out to determine which side would get an extra point, and this is where Maguire really stepped up.

As per Spurs’ official website (29 October), the shot-stopper made three “superb” saves as Wayne Burnett’s side won 4-3 on penalties.

Therefore, Postecoglou might be keen to take a closer look at Maguire when he next gets the opportunity, with the 20-year-old not the only goalkeeper making an impression at Under-21 level.

While first-team opportunities might not come around this season, Maguire would be wise to continue working hard and trying to get himself in the first-team picture in North London.
