Ange running Celtic transfer masterplan back at Tottenham as eagle eyed sleuths spot Timo Werner deja vu

He usually opts for quality over quantity - and fans are convinced Ange Postecoglou is following his Celtic recruitment plan to success at Tottenham.

The Australian's rock and roll style has turned English Premier League heads after wooing Parkhead punters for two years as gaffer. Despite injury ravaging his crop of stars, he still has Spurs fighting for a Champions League spot and is closing in on his first winter signing. It is believed that Timo Werner will look to right the wrongs of his calamitous Chelsea stint by signing on loan in North London from RB Leipzig.

While not a particularly clinical number nine, Werner is a pace merchant who can run for days and terrorise defenders with his relentless pressing ability. Does that sound familiar? It does to a host of Celtic and Spurs fans, who see major parallels in the signing of Daizen Maeda back in January 2022 from Yokohama F. Marinos.

While not the goal-getter Kyogo is, the Japanese star has been influential for both Postecoglou and current boss Brendan Rodgers, who both have marvelled in his non-stop running ability. And punters believe the Australian has gone for the high-end equivalent at Tottenham.

One fan said "Ange will use him as a press monster as much as a goal scorer. Similar profile to Maeda at Celtic. The pace to harass across opponents’ back lines pulls them out of shape and creates scoring opportunities for the team."

Another added "I also see similarities to Maeda tbh, relentless presser who stretch the field and open space for team mates" while a supporter insisted "Ange did same thing at Celtic. Signed Maeda - missed a lot but started every game bc of his insane work rate + pressure & crazy motor."
