Ange Postecoglou has slammed Tottenham's transfer policy and revealed he had a four-man transfer shortlist in mind that the club REJECTED during the 2024 summer window.

Postecoglou, 60, was sacked from his role as head coach at Tottenham last summer following two years in north London. During his time in charge, the Aussie guided Spurs to a fifth-place finish in his first season before ending the club's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last campaign.

However, Spurs decided to make a change with Postecoglou getting axed and Thomas Frank coming in to replace him after doing a stellar job at Brentford. Postecoglou recorded a 46.5 per cent win rate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 47 and drawing 15 of his 101 matches in charge.

But now, after describing Tottenham as "not a big club" when it comes to wages and transfer fees, Postecoglou has savaged his former club and claimed he tried to sign Pedro Neto, Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi during the 2024 summer transfer window - all of which did not happen.

Speaking on The Overlap, Postecoglou said: "At the end of my first year when we finished fifth, for me I was like, 'how do you go from fifth to challenging?' Well, we had to sign Premier League-ready players, but finishing fifth that year didn't get us Champions League , we didn't have the money so we ended up signing Dom Solanke who I really like and three teenagers (Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert).

"I was looking at Pedro Neto, Mbeumo, Semenyo at the time and Marc Guehi. Because I said if we want to go from fifth to there, that is what the other big clubs were doing at that moment.
