Postecoglu rejects claims Spurs is not attractive
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglu insists the club remains attractive despite their indifferent form in the league and Europe.
He said, as quoted by BBC:
"You can look at it two ways. OK the league form is not great but there's some pretty big possibilities to have success here in the last three or four months [of the season].
"It's still a big club, it's still a club that can challenge for honours and it's whether the player sees the potential that we see right now, or certainly that I see. If it's too much of a hard sell, it's probably not the right one for us."
