Richard Keys has been told it wouldn’t take a massive fee to sign key Spurs figure

Richard Keys has said that according to his information, it would not take a massive fee for Liverpool to get Ange Postecoglou out of Tottenham this summer

Soon after Klopp announced that he would be parting ways with Liverpool at the end of this season, it was reported by The Athletic in January that Postecoglou is one of the candidates in consideration to replace the German at the helm.

The Spurs boss’ stock has risen considerably in light of his transformative effect on the Lilywhites, who have transitioned from a counter-attacking side into arguably the most entertaining team to watch across the Premier League.

Various reports over the past couple of months have indicated that Tottenham have no fears about losing their head coach to any of their rivals this summer (Telegraph).

However, some pundits such as Jermaine Pennant have suggested over recent weeks that the Australian would not think twice about jumping ship if the Reds came calling for him at the end of the season (talkSPORT).

Could Liverpool show interest in Ange Postecoglou?

Keys has now said while he initially thought that it would be next to impossible to get Postecoglou out of Tottenham, he has now been told that it will not take a big fee to do so.

When asked who he would replace Klopp with, he told beIN SPORTS: “I’d go for Postecoglou. The reason I say that is, initially I thought it would take too much to get him out, then I was told that because he wasn’t first choice, his salary’s not great and the buy-out not very big.

“That would be my preferred choice. I think he’d be terrific at Anfield. I just didn’t think it would be possible because I couldn’t see [Daniel] Levy letting him go, but I’m told the figures do make sense.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Keys is far from a reliable source and I do not think Tottenham would be losing any sleep worrying about losing Postecoglou to Liverpool this summer. The 58-year-old will want to finish the project he has started at Spurs.
