Postecoglou unfazed by Galatasaray duo

The Turkish champions boast the deadly strike duo of Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi, who have been balling hard against opponents since the Nigerian joined on loan.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is unfazed by the threat posed by the duo, admitting his team face top-level opposition every weekend in the Premier League.

“As I said, a very good team, very, very good individual players, but that's what you expect when you play against top European sides," he told a press conference as quoted by ANS.
“Obviously, we play in the Premier League, so we're facing top opponents every week, so we understand what that's about and top individual players, but again, it's a good test for us tomorrow.”
“We started well in the Europa League, our results have been good home and away, and we want to continue that,” he added.
