The former Celtic boss had to make do without the talisman ahead of the English Premier League season kicking off after he was sold to Bundesliga giants Bayern Muncih.
Ange Postecoglou has been handed a grim Tottenham league placing prediction after losing key man and skipper Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
However, with the loss of the 30-year-old to Germany, pundit and former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor reckons Postecoglou's debut campaign will see his side finish no higher than NINTH as he listed the eight teams he expects to finish above them in the standings. Spurs have a couple of weeks to add to the forward line with Agbonlahor insisting James Maddison and Micky van de Ven are good additions - but it's simply not enough.
The top eight, how I think it will finish is – Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brighton. “Now Richarlison, who doesn’t score goals, is leading the line. Maddison and Van de Ven are good players, but it’s not enough.
