Earlier, Postecoglou formed a captain's team as soon as he took over at Tottenham. Son Heung-min was named captain, and Christian Romero and James Maddison were named vice-captain. Since then, last summer, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was additionally selected to form the captain's team with a total of four veteran players.
Now, fans are interested in how Tottenham's captaincy will change next season. The possibility of young players joining in a surprise cannot be ruled out.
On the 3rd (Korea time), England Football London selected Dejan Klusevski, Dominic Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur, Kevin Danso and Archie Gray as players who can join the captaincy next season.
Klusevski's quality as a leader has grown rapidly this season. He wore the captain's armband at home against Newcastle in January and is also captain of the Swedish national team.
Postecoglou praised Klusevski several times and said he tried to take the lead in the team's difficult times. Including Klusevski in the leadership group could be an important decision for Tottenham's future.

Bentancourt didn't look fit for the captaincy at the beginning of the season. Several controversies arose, including being disciplined by the FA for racist remarks related to Son Heung-min.
However, after recovering from injury, he is focusing on recovering his performance with a humble attitude. Bentancourt, who has won three times in Italy's Serie A, is also serving as a mentor for young players in the team.
Danso has just joined the team, but he is showing his presence.
The media outlet said that "Danso is the type of player that Postecoglou prefers. He struggled in his football career, but he worked tirelessly to get back to the top stage"This is the epitome of a player with a strong mentality that Postecoglou wants."

Football London says that Gray, who is only 18, is a player with a high performance and mature attitude, a prospect who could become Tottenham's Declan Rice in the future. "There have been similar cases in the past. Tottenham included Oliver Skipp in the leadership group a few years ago."
"It was aimed at representing the voices of young players at the time and quickly developing leadership."Skip is currently playing for Leicester City, but if he applies the same logic, Gray is likely to play the same role as him. "
In order to be included in Postecoglou's captain's team, he seems to have to have both skills and personality.
As for the reason for including Vicario in the captain's squad earlier, Postecoglou said, "The reason we included him in the leadership group this year is because we have seen his growth firsthand. "He always has a positive attitude, and he comes to the training ground every day and works hard. He wants to come out and train even on holidays."
And Postecoglou said, "He is not only a great example for all the players, but also a great person in personality. I thought it would be a great help to our leadership group."," he said.
