ANGE POSTECOGLOU is on the verge of taking charge of Tottenham.
SunSport revealed this week that the north Londoners have all but finalised a deal to install the Celtic chief as Antonio Conte’s replacement.
The imminent appointment of Postecoglou has Spurs fans already thinking of who the Greek-born Australian will bring to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And SunSport is on hand with a potential starting XI for the north Londoners under the Aussie.
Wholesale changes to the under-performing side which led to the dismissal of TWO managers this season are expected this summer.
And the major overhaul would begin in goal as Hugo Lloris is set to leave north London this summer following an error-filled season.

Fraser Forster is expected to retain his place in the starting XI, provided Spurs can’t get their hands on Brentford stopper David Raya.
Spurs will likely play a 4-3-3 formation under Postecoglou – which is good news for their current crop of defenders.
Pedro Porro will likely be deployed at right back, with Cristian Romero and Clement Lenglet playing at centre-back.
And Udinese‘s Destiny Udogie will play at left back should his proposed move to north London come to fruition.

Pierre Hojbjerg will likely anchor the three-man midfield with Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Heung-Min Son will be a dead cert to start on the left of a three-pronged attack, with Dejan Kulusevski in contention to start on the right once his loan deal is made permanent.
The Postecoglou era at Spurs, however, is unlikely to include skipper and club legend Harry Kane.
England international Kane is expected to leave the club in the summer after nearly 20 years of service and SunSport understands Manchester United are hot on his heels.
Postecoglou, however, won’t have to look far to replace the Tottenham icon.
The 57-year-old could very well opt to raid his soon-to-be former club for prolific Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi.
The 28-year-old ran riot for the Hoops last season, scoring a whopping 33 goals in all competitions.
So he could prove to be a cheap option to replace Kane through the middle.
Possible Tottenham starting XI under Postecoglou: Forster; Porro, Romero, Lenglet, Udogie; Hojbjerg, Skipp, Bentancur, Son, Furuhashi, Kulusevski
