The manager says the £152k-p/w star is not in his plans after being linked with Tottenham

After appearing at Tottenham Hotspur, one manager admitted that the £152,000-a-week player is no longer in his plans for next season.

Spurs have spent £115 million on their top three players this summer

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has been backed by three key signings this summer, worth around £115 million, following a promising first campaign in charge of the Lilywhites in which they closed out the Europa League.

Postecoglou has not had a good run of form this season, dropping points to newly promoted Leicester City after wasting a number of chances, but the arrival of striker Dominic Solanke, England striker Archie Gray and Burnley's Wilson Odobert give the Australian a chance. power is needed more deeply in key areas.

A long Premier League campaign awaits the north Londoners, where they have the added pressure of Europa League games, and Postecoglou will be hoping his side can give their side a boost in the coming games after a 1-1 draw at the King Power on Monday. .

“Yes, look at the disappointing result,” said Postecoglou about the draw between Tottenham and Leicester.

“The first half we ate a lot, we wasted a lot in front of the goals. We started the second half with a lot of consistency. The first 15-20 minutes we ate a lot, we wasted but you know at 1-0 there is always a chance for the opponents to get back into the game. That's what happened and we lost our way for minutes -15 or 20 and the crowd was behind them, but again we were really disappointed and we didn't have the edge to cut in the third place, we made bad decisions. The lack of composure and not getting the reward that our ball deserved.”

Fortunately for Spurs there is still time to strengthen, as the summer window can be closed for another 11 days.

While they made three new additions, Postecoglou also looked at 12 players in total from N17, either on loan or permanently. There seems to be room for the club to exploit, and one proven player who can be had on the cheap is Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.

The £152,000-a-week striker's contract expires next summer, meaning Juve could only receive £13 million as the clock ticks down to deadline day.

Thiago Motta announced that Chiesa could leave after being approached by Tottenham

According to information provided by football.london, Tottenham have made an inquiry into signing Chiesa this summer, as have Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Man United.

Juve boss Thiago Motta has also given them the green light to go, with the Italian admitting his international striker will not feature in his plans going forward.

“Our position on Federico Chiesa has not changed,” said Motta about Chiesa's future at Juve.

“He is not part of our plans. We discussed it. It shows the respect I have for everyone. Transparency, transparency, is how I communicate with my players.”

The door appears open for Postecoglou to sign Chiesa after being linked with him for much of the summer window. The 26-year-old boasts over 100 appearances for Italy at international level, scoring 66 goals and providing 49 assists in an impressive 284 appearances.
