Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou reportedly has his eyes on a new transfer target and loves his character as a "highly influential leader".
Spurs transfer targets for January
Centre-back Micky van de Ven is apparently set for a scan this week after being forced off in Spurs' defeat to Chelsea with a hamstring problem.
Recent reports have suggested that the Dutchman could be set for months rather than weeks on the sidelines (Daily Mail), which will come as a big, big blow for Postecoglou considering just how crucial van de Ven has been alongside Cristian Romero.
As a result, the club are believed to be prioritising the signing of another left-sided central defender in January, with Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly and Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah among the names being considered by Spurs.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
Tottenham may also go for a central midfield player, as Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr will be absent early next year for the Africa Cup of Nations. Uncertainty still surrounds the future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, too, resulting in links to Fluminese star Andre.
Staying in that area of the pitch, it's now been claimed that Postecoglou has personally set his sights on a new midfield target who is a really big fan of.
Postecoglou targeting Norgaard
According to Football Transfers, the Australian has identified Brentford captain Christian Norgaard as a transfer possibility heading into January.
The Denmark international is described by this report as a "highly influential leader" behind-the-scenes, and Postecoglou is said to be a real admirer of that and wants more of it in the Spurs dressing room.
Norgaard is wanted by Postecoglou and Tottenham to provide competition in midfield as well, with that area of his squad seen as a "major worry" by the Lilywhites head coach.
The 29-year-old's contract at Brentford runs out in 2025, but Thomas Frank's men have the option to extend it by an additional year if they see fit.
This Spurs interest also comes after Norgaard refused to rule out the possibility of leaving west London at some point, telling Danish news outlet Tipsbladet:
“Yes, there has been a bit of everything, without me mentioning some clubs by name. You should never say never in the football world."
Norgaard praised
The Brentford captain has started every single Premier League game for Frank this season, scoring a goal and assist while standing out as a crucial player for them.
He took the captain's armband from Pontus Jansson at the start of 2023/2024 and hasn't looked back since, but members of the media have always held Norgaard in very high esteem.

Writing on X, Bees reporter Jay Harris of The Athletic called Norgaard a "beautiful" player and even one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League right now.
"A fully fit Christian Norgaard is a truly beautiful sight to see on a football pitch," said Harris. "One of the best DM's in the PL without a doubt"
If Spurs can convince Brentford to part ways with him, it would be quite the coup.
Vijay bagged a pair at Lord’s to follow scores of 20 and 6 at Edgbaston which led to his omission
ESPNcricinfo staff08-Sep-2018M Vijay, the India opener who was dropped after two Tests of the series against England, has joined Essex for the remainder of the 2018 county season.Vijay, 34, bagged a pair at Lord’s to follow scores of 20 and 6 at Edgbaston which led to his omission for the third Test at Trent Bridge. He was then left out of India’s updated squad for the final two matches of the series.”I was here with the India side about a month ago and saw first-hand just how good the crowd is. I can’t wait to play for Essex and hopefully win some matches,” Vijay said.Essex have three games left in their County Championship season and are not yet entirely secure of their Division One status following a heavy defeat by Surrey. Their top three for that match was Nick Browne, Varun Chopra and Tom Westley, and it could be that one of them makes way for Vijay’s arrival.Essex head coach Anthony McGrath said: “We’re delighted that Vijay has chosen to come here. He’s a great batsman who can score runs at the top of the order.”Vijay’s run-scoring ability means he can be the difference-maker in a game, and that skill is something we were looking to bring in towards the end of the season and something that we’re excited about.”The campaign is coming to an end and we have some really big games over the next month, so getting someone in with the experience and international quality that Vijay possesses could make all the difference for us.”
Arsenal have used the loan market in devastating fashion over the last few years. Edu certainly deserves praise for a number of incomings but their opportunistic nature in this avenue has been fascinating.
Perhaps the biggest success story is that of William Saliba. Arsenal fans the world over questioned why he was repeatedly sent out on loan after his £27m move but now look at him.
Signed from Saint Etienne by Unai Emery in 2019, the defender enjoyed three loan spells back in his homeland, first with the club he was signed from, then Nice and finally Marseille. His performances at the latter were enough to earn him Ligue 1's Young Player of the Year.
Another successful adventure in France was overseen by Folarin Balogun. The United States international found the net on 22 occasions in 39 outings for Reims last term before being shipped on to Monaco for £35m in the summer.
There is now another striker looking to make waves away from the club after being granted a loan move, a certain Mika Biereth.
Mika Biereth's career so far
The 20-year-old attacker isn't exactly a household name to most supporters at the Emirates Stadium but slowly but surely he is now starting to make an impression.
The talented goalscorer arrived in July 2021, signing from Fulham and immediately penning professional terms with the club.

His form since has arguably been nothing to rave about, although it has caught the eye. For the Cottagers, however, he was outstanding.
As Fulham won the U18 Premier League South in the 2020/21 campaign, the Danish-born forward scored 21 goals in as many games to take his tally at that level for the Londoners to 27 in 35 outings. Impressive stuff indeed.
That form hasn't been replicated as much since his move across the capital having bagged 12 times in 26 appearances for Arsenal at U21 level. He is yet to earn his maiden bow for the senior team but if he continues to shine out on loan, you never know what might happen next season.
Mika Biereth's stats this season
The youngster has simply been on fire throughout 2023/24 after swapping England for Scotland to join Motherwell in the top flight.
Biereth has only started one game this season which is largely owed to a knee injury that kept him out of action for six Premiership games, but when he has featured, he's looked highly promising.

Hailed for his "incredible technical skill, balance, and physical prowess" by notable social media account, Hale End Productions, the academy star has scored three goals and registered two assists across four league matches and just 166 minutes of football.
That means that the Denmark youth international has registered a goal involvement every 33 minutes of Premiership action. If he can maintain that sort of form throughout the rest of the campaign then it will mark the first truly successful senior stint of his career.
Biereth has previously spent time with RKC Waalwijk in the Netherlands but beat the goalkeeper just twice from 13 games. That said, such a record this term is catching the eye. He's scored more goals than Gabriel Martinelli back at home and is scoring at a quicker rate than even Bukayo Saka, who has been at his electrifying best again this season.
Saka has scored five times in all competitions, although from 1,166 minutes of football. He has also registered six assists during what looks set to be his best term yet.
Biereth can only dream of such service, but if he carries on scoring for fun in Scotland, he may well realise the dream of playing with Arsenal's number 7 soon enough.
In the summer, Sheffield Wednesday got it horribly wrong with the appointment of Xisco Munoz and are now looking to rectify the damage done by the Spaniard before it's too late.
Dejphon Chansiri relieved him of his duties after he oversaw a winless first 11 matches – the worst start in the club's history – and now the Owls are now seven points from safety at the bottom of the Championship.
One individual has seemingly emerged as the favourite to replace Munoz and that is Danny Rohl, even though the 34-year-old has never been a first-team manager before, enjoying fruitful spells as a coach at Bayern Munich and Southampton, not to mention his recent spell as assistant manager of Germany's national side.
What's the latest on Sheffield Wednesday's managerial pursuit?
A disastrous start to the campaign has left Wednesday supporters feeling deeply frustrated about their situation and it is understandable that they don't want the negotiations for a new manager to be drawn out.
Although it appears that Rohl is their number one target, journalist Joe Crann has urged fans to be patient in his latest update on social media:
"With regards to SWFC and the new manager, these things can take a bit of time and there are lots of moving parts, also plenty of discussions to be had. I know there’s been talk of it being done, but as of this morning, Danny Rohl to S6 isn’t finalised. Patience needed."
Former Bayern Munich assistant Danny Rohl.
While the appointment of the German coach would be seen as ambitious given he was highly thought of during his time at Bayern and Saints, it isn't the most attractive proposition for a young manager, entering the firing line of a club in dire straits and needing a miracle to save them.
Ultimately, Rohl would bring fresh ideas to the Owls but he also comes with a huge risk attached to him having never held a managerial position of his own.
If negotiations to prise the German to S6 break down, there's another youthful manager that Wednesday should be looking at after working miracles at Birmingham City: John Eustace.
What would John Eustace bring to Sheffield Wednesday?
During his time at Birmingham, Eustace stabilised and strengthened a side that was struggling off the field amid concerns surrounding the ownership of the club.
The 42-year-old arrived at the club in July 2022, succeeding Lee Bowyer as manager and helping them finish nine points above the relegation zone, working miracles with a cash-strapped squad.
Birmingham City manager John Eustace.
Despite showcasing his managerial expertise at the start of this campaign, Birmingham did the unthinkable by sacking Eustace with the club in sixth position. He departed the job having been the first City manager since Alex McLeish in 2008/09 to win ten points out of 12 at the start of a season
Following his sacking, the club released a statement which said they were close to hiring someone who will accomodate an attractive style of football, with that now being confirmed as England legend Wayne Rooney.
The sacking of Eustace was harsh to say the least but he gave neutrals the flavour of his capabilities in the managerial hot seat at Birmingham, the sort that Wednesday desire.
After doing an excellent job of revitalising a club that have spent the majority of the past decade scrapping towards the bottom of the Championship, the young manager has shown he can work miracles and while he isn't currently linked to the vacancy, he would be the perfect appointment for the Owls. After all, he does have a 100% win record against them…
Leeds United knew it was going to be tricky to pick up a result on the road at Brentford.
After all, heading into this Premier League showdown at the G-Tech Community Stadium, Keith Andrews’ Bees had only lost once on their own turf from eight contests, with wins against Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Liverpool sticking out.
Thankfully, though, football is sometimes not played to the script, as Leeds clinched a late leveller against the West Londoners to extend their own unbeaten run in the league to three matches.
One star stood out so much for Daniel Farke’s visitors that he could now be considered the Whites’ best signing since Raphinha entered the ranks for only £17m, with the Brazilian now a world beater on the books of Barcelona.
Why Raphinha is Leeds' best recent signing
The number 18 would dazzle Premier League defences from minute one of his arrival, with his former boss Marcelo Bielsa stating that he adapted “very quickly” to what was expected of him in the high-intensity environment of the English game.
Indeed, the £17m signing would have plenty of end product to go alongside his audacious tricks and flicks, with his debut season seeing him bag six goals and pick up nine assists.
Georginio Rutter is, of course, fondly remembered for his equally entertaining spell at Elland Road, but it would take the £35.5m recruit far more time to settle in his new surroundings, next to Raphinha, instantly being thrown in and thriving.
Moreover, for such a modest fee, it’s hard to argue against the South American being one of Leeds’ best modern pick-ups, with the Whites throwing lots of cash on unsuccessful attackers since Raphinha’s two-season stint at the club.
The eye-watering £21m addition of Luis Sinisterra stands out in that regard with the Colombian making just 26 appearances in West Yorkshire.
Thankfully, in the summer, Farke and Co spent their money more wisely, with Noah Okafor up to two Premier League goals already as a smart £18m investment.
But, he isn’t the summer arrival who can now be heralded as Leeds’ best acquisition since the memorable days of Raphinha.
Leeds star becoming their best signing since Raphinha
Farke was a relieved figure at the full-time whistle, with Leeds fully deserving of a share of the points.
Still, it would take all the way up to the 82nd minute mark for Leeds to clinch a draw, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin popped up with a “touch of quality” again – as the Athletic’s Beren Cross labelled it – when calmly directing an inviting Wilfried Gnonto delivery past a stationary Caoimhin Kelleher.
Calvert-Lewin hasn’t had a good few years when it comes to scoring goals but he’s not a man in form, continuing to bail his side out of some sticky situations.
That header was his fourth goal on the trot in the Premier League for his new team. Raphinha would also regularly come in clutch for the Whites, away from being an entertaining star, with his final ever goal for the West Yorkshire titans helping survival to be secured against – coincidentally – Leeds’ opponents on Sunday.
Leeds must be thanking their lucky stars now that they gambled on the Sheffield-born striker’s services in the summer, with the deal to bring in the 28-year-old on a free transfer looking like a steal, much like Raphinha, as the goals keep flowing for the reinvigorated marksman.

Leeds would have known that if they could get the very best out of Calvert-Lewin again, away from his recurring injury troubles, that they would be beaming ear to ear about the shrewd decision to pick him up, with the in-form number nine boasting a hefty 62 Premier League goals across his up-and-down playing days.
He will hope these injury problems have passed now, with Farke declaring him an “unbelievable human being” after the 1-1 draw in London, amid shouts, too, from the German that he is one of “the best English strikers we have here in the Premier League”.
Leeds will need to ensure they don’t get too carried away, though.
Still, if Calvert-Lewin were to keep up this red-hot goalscoring form across the whole season, survival should be comfortably reached, which will surely only solidify his label as being one of the club’s best recruits since Raphinha briefly called the Premier League home.

O técnico interino do Palmeiras, Andrey Lopes, concedeu entrevista coletiva após a derrota por 2 a 0 para o Fortaleza na noite deste domingo (18), na Arena Castelão, e um dos assuntos foi Miguel Ángel Ramírez, que tem reunião agendada para esta segunda-feira (19) com a diretoria do Verdão. O treinador do Independiente del Valle é o favorito do presidente Maurício Galiotte para assumir o cargo de treinador do clube.
– Considero um bom treinador sim. Jovem, tem 35 anos, tem conceitos, conquistou a Sul-Americana no ano passado, é um treinador emergente no nosso continente. Se ele for o contratado pelo clube, vai ser recebido da melhor forma possível. Vamos dar suporte pra ele, como a gente fez e eu também fiz, na minha função como auxiliar, pra todos os outros que passaram por aqui – afirmou Andrey ao ser questionado se considerava o espanhol um bom nome para o Verdão.

Newcastle United will travel to Bramall Lane on Sunday to face Sheffield United in the Premier League before welcoming Burnley to Tyneside the following weekend.
Forthcoming fixtures against newly-promoted opposition; a chance – with victory clinched against Brentford last time out – to put together a three-match winning streak to fully restore the feel-good factor on Tyneside after a challenging start to the campaign that left Eddie Howe's side nursing three successive defeats after a 5-1 win over Aston Villa hinted at such promise.
That's not to say the Magpies are in the mud, far from it. A minor blip does not erase the remarkable feats of the past 18 months or so, with Howe lifting the club away from relegation danger and now fighting for silver-laden success, having defied expectations with a top-four finish last term, despite the lucrative PIF club takeover.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.
AC Milan presented United with their first continental test of the season, with the Premier League outfit emerging from the San Siro with a point to start off their group phase.
It was an impressive result, all things considered, but the performance itself left little to be admired from an attacking standpoint, with £63m club-record signing Alexander Isak flattering to deceive.
How did Alexander Isak play against AC Milan?
Newcastle, frankly, got battered for large portions of the affair in Italy earlier this week. Despite demonstrating their quality on the ball and definitely proving to be the more energetic and high-octane team, Milan unleashed 25 shots on Nick Pope's goal compared to just six strikes from Howe's men.
Isak led the line for all of 89 minutes but was not among those to test Mike Maignan between the sticks, nullified by a resolute and solid home defence, who left him "knackered" by the time of his withdrawal, according to presenter Kev Lawson.

As clearly delineated by the 24-year-old's listed metrics on the night, he endured a forgettable affair and found very little success, effectively marshalled.
While he did drop deep and look to influence the play from the centre of the pitch, he failed to do anything of note with his possession – which is why his pass success rate, which looks impressive on face value, actually doesn't work in his favour given that he failed to carry the ball into positive openings and didn't strike on goal himself.
Should Eddie Howe start Alexander Isak?
Isak was impressive last season and tantalised a future of prolific success on Tyneside, and that's despite suffering an injury-hit campaign.
Indeed, the £120k-per-week phenom posted ten goals and two assists in the Premier League despite only starting 17 times, heralded for his "complete" attacking abilities by former Willem II coach Adrie Koster.
Blighted by issues that sidelined him for 16 matches, the 6 foot 3 machine looks to have found his full fitness this season, and while he scored twice on the opening day of the term, against Unai Emery's Villa, he has yet to net again, starting four times since.
Undoubtedly, the goals will come sooner rather than later, but it might be wise for Howe to remove him from the starting line-up and offer someone else a chance to impress.
The same could be said for £55m summer signing Sandro Tonali, with the Italian midfielder – who was signed from AC Milan – "struggling to impact" the contest against his former side in the Champions League, according to Craig Hope.
A talented playmaker – who ranks among the top 12% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues for assists per 90 – he has not quite hit the ground running despite scoring on his debut, and might also receive a relegation to the bench in the short-term.
Who could replace Alexander Isak?
Clearly, if Isak doesn't start as Newcastle's focal point up top then there is only one man tailor-made to lead the line and do so with a flourish.
Callum Wilson has been superb since joining Newcastle from Bournemouth for £20m in the summer of 2020, scoring 41 goals and supplying ten assists from just 81 matches since his arrival.
Last season, he scored no less than 18 goals from just 21 starting appearances in the Premier League, also registering five assists and earning praise for his "clinical edge" by editor Andrew Musgrove.
And after bagging three times in the Premier League already this term – despite only starting the recent win over Brentford, where his penalty proved decisive – the 31-year-old does indeed appear to have that sharpness to propel the Toon back into form.
As per FBref, Wilson – who just recently signed a contract extension with the St. James' Park side – ranks among the top 6% of forwards across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals and the top 9% for assists per 90.
When comparing that with Isak, who ranks among the top 25% of forwards for goals and the bottom 21% for assists per 90, it's clear to see who offers the more clinical attacking edge.
Of course, the Swede is far more dynamic and boasts a higher ceiling, not just because of his youth but the range of his talents – also ranking among the top 16% for progressive passes, the top 11% for progressive carries and the top 6% for successful take-ons per 90.
callum-wilson-newcastle-united
But given that Wilson has yet to receive successive starts in the Premier League this season and boasts an impressive record against both Burnley and the Blades – with eight goals and an assist from 16 matches against the two teams combined – Howe might be wise to offer him a shot as the star man up front.
Isak might be a formidable force but he has not quite clicked into gear this season, and with Wilson possessing that Midas touch in attack under Howe's stewardship, he must be provided with a starting berth going forward.
