    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Spurs have managed their climb to the peak of the table despite losing star striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich before the current campaign kicked off.

    Captain Son Heung-min along with summer signings James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro have helped cover for the loss of the talisman and strengthen Postecoglou's side and he is happy with their progress.

    However, he says there is still room for improvement, particularly in attack, as he told Sky Sports: "When you talk about a transformation, we have a lot of new players in, a new manager, a new way of playing, that kind of shift is always going to take some time. To be honest, that part our game is still the area that has the most improvement in it, the attacking side of our game - we can be even more aggressive in the way we play and create even more opportunities.

    "But I would balance that up in the tremendous resilience we've shown and the defensive solidity we've had considering we've had a totally new back line and a new midfield set-up. So it's kind of a balancing act these things of wanting to be this kind of team, but also understanding you have to build some other aspects of the side.

    "At the moment we are juggling that pretty well, but I still think when we become the team I want us to become, that is the area we still have the most improving to do in - the attacking areas."
