• Manager said club are ‘still a bit short in a couple of areas’
• Spurs are 11th in Premier League before trip to Forest

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Tottenham plan to be active in the January transfer window. Spurs have been beset by injuries and suspensions over the past month and have fallen to 11th in the Premier League amid inconsistent form.
