Tottenham are back on track

Tottenham have been up and down Premier League the campaign continued as they beat Southampton 5-0a result that eventually saw Saints boss Russell Martin sacked from St Mary's. Postecoglou's side were ahead within a minute through James Maddison in what turned out to be the Lilywhites' first half.

They scored three in the space of 14 minutes before taking a 5-0 lead into half-time, allowing them to cruise into the second half as boos rang out around St Mary's.

"It was very good for the players", Postecoglou said after the game. "We had a tough game in Europe on Thursday night. We have 10 first team players missing tonight and for the boys to come out with a lot of energy. We had to come out quickly because we knew we would be tired. They are asking a lot of our parts and the quality and energy that was shown was very good. "

There are concerns in north London about Postecoglou's lack of pragmatism in other games, which means that despite scoring the second-highest goals in the Premier League he remains on 10. But now, attention is turning to the transfer market.

Tottenham are preparing talks for a new goalkeeper

This is according to CaughtOffside, who reported this Spurs are now ready to open negotiations for Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor in a formal agreement.

Tottenham are looking for a new no.2 goalkeeper, with Fraser Forster out of the job at the end of the current campaign and neither Brandon Austin nor Alfie Whiteman having made it to the top flight.

And according to reports they are looking to sign Victor, who kept 7 league goals in Brazil's Serie A in the most recent campaign, while also leading the scoring in a number of other statistics.

It is said that the 28-year-old will be available for "around €9-10million" (£7m-£8m), and that Spurs are "expected to be in talks" soon, along with Premier League giants Manchester United.

Any deal to sign Botafogo could be one that takes place in the summer Ange Postecoglou seems to have given up adding another goalkeeper to his squad despite Vicario's injury.

"This is not going to happen (signing a free agent). This is why we have a group of players here. I don't think signing a free agent now will help us," he said last month. "We're happy with what we have."

But with Forster set to leave in a few months, Victor could be the man to be asked to step into the role.
