Ange Postecoglou has shed light on where Tottenham\u2019s information leak is coming from and explained how the club will deal with it once the mole is discovered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following his side\u2019s 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt last Thursday, Postecoglou<\/a> made an admission that caught many people off guard.<\/p>\n

When asked about a possible injury to Wilson Odobert, Ange Postecoglou declared there is a leak from inside Tottenham<\/a>, admitting that the club are trying to narrow down the mole.<\/p>\n

The Australian has now provided further information on where the leak is coming from and how it negatively impacts the club.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old has now explained that the problem of information being leaked from the club is far from new, revealing that it has been going on since last year.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou insisted that the leaks put his side in a disadvantageous position as opposition teams are privy to information about Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> that they should not know.<\/p>\n

When asked how long the leaks have been going on for, the Australian told Football.London<\/a>: \u201cYou tell me\u2026 I\u2019m just testing everyone, trying to catch people out! It\u2019s been going on for a while. It started last year. We thought we had nipped it in the bud but it\u2019s still consistently coming out at different times.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou try to keep the circle of information pretty tight. I don\u2019t understand why people would do it, especially if they\u2019re, so-called, in our camp because I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s helpful to us. It certainly doesn\u2019t seem to be helpful to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes for us information is best kept in our closed doors because we have opposition trying to analyse us and trying to see if they can get some extra information on us. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are various ways you can find these things out. You hope that people come to their senses after a while, but it just continues to happen. We\u2019ll get to the bottom of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postecoglou admitted that the leaks were not coming from the players or their agents, hinting that the mole could be someone who had access to the player\u2019s medical information.<\/p>\n

The Tottenham boss added: \u201cIt\u2019s not agents. Definitely not agents. The stuff that is coming out is pretty specific. The language used is not used by agents, trust me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not suspecting anybody. It\u2019s definitely not the players because for me the information that is getting out is\u2026Look, I\u2019ve always said, especially with medical information, I\u2019m really, really careful.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though we\u2019re in the world of football and I know everyone thinks these things should be carte blanche in terms of information flow, I\u2019m still very respectful in terms of medical records and how much information we actually give on certain things. Sometimes players don\u2019t want that information disclosed, it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that it is getting out is unacceptable, from a club perspective, because it doesn\u2019t help us and from an individual\u2019s perspective because it doesn\u2019t help him. As a club, I just think, I\u2019ve got enough challenges out there without adding more to ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou on how Tottenham will deal with the mole<\/p>\n

The Spurs boss made it clear that the club will not make a song and dance about it when they narrow in on the mole, remarking that the matter will be dealt with internally.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou also suggested that the Tottenham leaks once again point to an issue with the culture at Hotspur Way, which he confessed has to be changed.<\/p>\n

When asked what will happen when the mole is found, he said: \u201cWe\u2019ll deal with it internally. Like you deal with anything. You do the right thing and deal with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about trying to make us as a football club run as professionally as we possibly can in terms of information flow and how we conduct ourselves. I don\u2019t think any organisation, if you have people giving out sensitive information, particularly on the medical front or the tactical front, then you need to address it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always in football. In various ways, but certainly not as consistent as this. Usually, when you address it the first time, key people understand, but this one seems to be consistent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 100 per cent about culture. That\u2019s the bit that we\u2019re constantly, not just me, but the other people in the club are trying to change and trying to get the club to a place where there is a real strong mentality and identity of who we are and protect that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd make sure that we have the right professional mindset in every aspect because to have success in football is very, very difficult. It\u2019s often fine margins, we saw that last night between success and not having success. What you want to do is things you can control, try and do them to the best of your ability.\u201d<\/p>\n
