Aurier, Sanchez to face Spurs Europa League

Ange Postecoglou may have a memory of his first few weeks as Tottenham manager when his side face Galatasaray

Spurs will face Turkish Super Lig giants in the Europa League on Thursday night and there will be some familiar faces when they take on the Rams Park Stadium in Istanbul

Former Premier League players form their strikers, former Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech and Michy Batshuayi leading the line

However, in defense it is made up of former Tottenham players Serge Aurier and Davinson Sanchez

Aurier played in north London from 2017 to 2021 and despite having a good time, he left after Postecoglou landed

Reuniting with Sanchez could be even more traumatic for Postecoglou. The Colombian was also signed in 2017, from Ajax, where the club previously had great success in acquiring top-class centre-backs Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld

Sanchez showed a willingness to fight, but was never at the level of his predecessors, and in 2023 his life with Spurs ended after Postecoglou landed

Aurier and Sanchez believe Postecoglou is the reason they left Spurs and maybe today they will want to prove him, he was wrong
