Things might have started well for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur last season but it is safe to say that his future with the London club is now well and truly up in the air. The Australian manager, who knew nothing but success while at Celtic, now finds his team in 15th position in the Premier League and has a number of injuries to deal with as well.
As a result, there have been plenty of calls for Tottenham Hotspur to sack Postecoglou. But for the time being, it looks like the club are ready to stand behind the Australian as he aims to turn things around.
Interestingly, it looks like they passed on the chance to sign one of Postecoglou's best players from his time as Celtic manager. Unfortunately, that did not prevent him from leaving Parkhead.
As reported by TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur rejected the chance to make an offer for Kyogo Furuhashi. The Premier League club were offered an opportunity to bid for the Japanese forward, however, they have opted to focus their attention elsewhere.

Of course, that feels very possible. After all, Kyogo did end up leaving Celtic this winter, even though his destination was not Tottenham Hotspur.
Considering Kyogo's history with Tottenham Hotspur and their injury troubles right now, a move would have made a ton of sense. The Japanese striker scored 54 goals in his two seasons playing Angeball. Clearly, Postecoglou knows how to get the best out of him.
Instead, Kyogo has ended up joining Rennes, who are hoping to avoid relegation from French Ligue 1. It remains to be seen if he is able to rescue their season. On the other hand, Celtic have brought back Jota, who was another success story from Postecoglou's time at the club.
