Despite whispers linking him with the prestigious managerial vacancy at Liverpool, following Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of his departure after a nine-year tenure, Postecoglou’s sights are firmly set on his current squad’s evolution. Liverpool’s apparent interest, placing him alongside the likes of Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso on their radar, hasn’t swayed his resolve. “I may be on a shortlist? I don’t think I want to say anything about that because I don’t think that’s ever going to enter my brain space for what is my priorities in life and my profession right now,” he stated, ahead of the clash with Wolves, underscoring his unwavering commitment to Tottenham’s project.
