A Tottenham Hotspur star has reportedly struggled to settle under manager Ange Postecoglou, according to an insider. The player, whose name has not been officially disclosed, is said to have faced difficulties adapting to the Australian coach’s playing style and tactical demands since his arrival at the club.
Postecoglou took charge of Spurs ahead of the 2023–24 season and quickly implemented his attacking philosophy, which has been met with both praise and challenges. While the team has shown promising performances under his leadership, not every player has seamlessly adjusted to the system.
Speaking to a media outlet, an insider revealed that the unnamed player has “never really been settled” at Tottenham and that Postecoglou’s arrival has further complicated the situation.
“This player has struggled to find consistency and hasn’t felt truly comfortable since joining Spurs,” the source claimed. “With the changes brought in by Ange Postecoglou, it has only made things more difficult for him. He doesn’t seem to fit into the manager’s vision as easily as some of the others.”
While Postecoglou has made it clear that he expects high energy and tactical discipline from his squad, his approach has inevitably led to some players being sidelined or struggling to adapt. The identity of the unsettled player remains uncertain, but speculation has linked several Spurs stars with potential exits or reduced game time.
Tottenham fans have seen a number of tactical tweaks under Postecoglou, with some established names being rotated or used in unfamiliar roles. Some players have thrived under the new system, while others have found it challenging to cement their place in the starting XI.
Despite these concerns, Spurs have shown signs of progress under Postecoglou, competing for a top-four spot in the Premier League and displaying a more attack-minded approach. However, if the unsettled player continues to struggle, a potential departure in the next transfer window could be on the cards.
As speculation grows, fans will be eager to see whether Postecoglou can find a solution that benefits both the player and the club, or if an exit becomes the most likely resolution.
