Ange Postecoglou has been talking about the appointment of Johan Lange as Tottenham’s new technical director, and he has already had a ‘good couple of chats’ with the former Aston Villa man.
Premier League leaders, Tottenham, face 12th-place Fulham in a London derby in North London on Monday as they hope to extend their lead at the top of the tree.
Unfortunately, because the fixture will be the last to take place this week, Spurs may find themselves as low as fourth before a ball is kicked, with Arsenal, Man City, and Liverpool biting at their heels.
Spurs and Arsenal are now the only two unbeaten teams at the start of the new campaign, with six wins and two draws each.

Could Postecoglou and Lange be a dream team?
Ange Postecoglou, who has won back-to-back Manager of the Month awards, will want to see his new-look Tottenham keep progressing on the pitch, no matter their position in the table.
And it appears he already has one eye on the January window and some additions Johan Lange could help him make to the squad.
He said (Football London): “I’ve had a good couple of chats with Johan now since he’s been appointed.
“I think it is fair to say it is a position we needed to fill and with all big football clubs, they become such an important part of the function knowing that for the most part that with recruitment these days there aren’t too many hidden gems out there.
“Everyone knows what’s out there and having people who are really adept and qualified in seeking out the ones who will be a good fit for us is really important.
“That is Johan’s brief and I’m looking forward to him getting started. Obviously, we’ve got the January window not too far around the corner so I am sure he will be keen to get involved as well.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
Tottenham have everything in order from top to bottom to really kick on now. It’s just about giving Postecoglou the right tools and placing trust in him to make progress on the pitch.
