Earlier this month, Spurs acquired goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague, but they have not made any additional signings since then.
Following six losses in their last eight league matches, Tottenham has fallen to 14th place in the Premier League standings ahead of their upcoming match against relegation-threatened Everton on Sunday. Postecoglou is fully aware of the efforts being made behind the scenes, spearheaded by technical director Johan Lange.
“It is tricky as all clubs are finding and I guess traditionally it ramps up in that final week so we’re approaching there for all clubs,” said the Spurs manager.
“The club is working as hard as it can and that’s all you can ask for. January’s not an easy month but I do know a lot of work is being done behind the scenes to try to get some reinforcements in.”
Postecoglou acknowledged that Tottenham had shown interest in acquiring Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, but it seems the forward is poised to join Juventus on loan.
“We’ve been interested and were looking at a number of players, but did we get to the point where we thought he was coming to us? No,” Postecoglou said.
Following a 2-1 defeat to north London rivals Arsenal on Wednesday, Spurs have managed only one victory in their last nine league matches since early December. Tottenham currently trails sixth-placed Manchester City by 11 points, yet Postecoglou is not focused on discussions regarding their chances of European qualification.
“I just don’t look at things like that,” the Australian said. “Ultimately we’ve got to win games of football and that starts on Sunday.
“Where we end up is going to be where we end up, whether that’s realising our goals, ambitions or falling short, then time will tell.”
For the upcoming match against Everton, Ben Davies will be available, but Timo Werner will miss out, bringing the total number of unavailable players to seven. Additionally, Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson are uncertain for the trip to Goodison Park.
