This potential move would reunite O’Riley with Postecoglou, who originally signed him during his tenure at Celtic.

O’Riley’s impressive performance this season has caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Postecoglou is eager to bring the midfielder to North London to bolster Spurs’ squad.

O’Riley’s remarkable tally of 18 goals and 18 assists this campaign highlights his pivotal role at Celtic and underscores why he’s attracted interest from clubs like Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Newcastle United. Notably, Atletico Madrid made an unsuccessful bid for him during the winter transfer window.

Despite the apparent interest from his former manager, O’Riley’s feelings towards a reunion might be complex. He has previously expressed a preference for the managerial approach of Brendan Rodgers, who succeeded Postecoglou at Celtic.

O’Riley noted that he enjoyed the change in management style, particularly Rodgers’ more involved approach with players, suggesting that his relationship with Postecoglou might not have been as favourable.
