Postecoglou Closing In On Tottenham Leak After Team News Breach

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed he is close to identifying the source of a leak within the club that has repeatedly undermined preparations during a challenging season.

The Australian admitted on Friday that injury and team news has consistently emerged on social media ahead of official announcements, creating added difficulties for his staff and players. The issue came to the fore once again before Spurs 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final first leg, when Wilson Odobert's absence from the line-up was made public hours before kick-off.

"There's no doubt we've got a leak inside the club," Postecoglou said. "Someone continues to leak out information and they have all year. I don't know why, as it just makes our job even more difficult. You don't want to give the opposition a helping hand."

Postecoglou confirmed that the source of the leak had been narrowed down and that action would soon be taken.

"I've got a fair idea where it's coming from. We'll deal with it," he continued. "It certainly doesn't help us on game days. Sometimes it's half-truths, sometimes more. You'd like to think everyone within our camp is working with us rather than against us."
