Jose Mourinho changed things up against Ipswich Town on Saturday with Gedson Fernandes operating at right-back with Serge Aurier and Japhet Tanganga unavailableStrengthening midfield with the arrival of the Danish international and bringing in some more experience to the goalkeeping department, the head coach will now be intent of addressing other areas of the pitch.A new striker is needed to compete with and provide cover for Harry Kane, while Mourinho may also have his eye on a creative midfielder to help give his side even more firepower in the final third.Right-back is also another position that needs to be looked at, especially amid talk that Tipped to depart 12 months ago despite Kieran Trippier's move to Atletico Madrid reducing the competition at right-back, AC Milan have been linked with the player once again one year on.Already needing a new acquisition in that area following Walker-Peters' permanent move to Southampton following a successful loan spell, Mourinho will need another option if Aurier brings the curtain down on his three years in N17.Well, it may only now be one right-back he needs before the transfer deadline in October after the 57-year-old made a tactical tweak in Saturday's 3-0 win over Ipswich Town in their first pre-season friendly of the summer.Stating towards the end of the 2019/20 campaign that he had been using The loanee was one of three players to play the full 90 minutes and he did really impress in his time on the pitch.Certainly not his natural position as he usually operates on the right of midfield or centrally, the 21-year-old was given licence to push forward and help his teammates out in attacking areas.It was a similar role to the one Aurier plays for Spurs as Ben Davies moved inside when the right-back attacked to form a back three.The head coach has had quite a dilemma since January when it's come to Gedson's best position but he may now have finally found an answer.While fans won't have concerns over his ability to push on and help out in the opposition half given his attacking instincts, many are slightly worried over the defensive side of his game as it has never been a priority for him previously.However, that is something that will improve on in time if used there consistently, with Mourinho's tactic of Davies coming infield to create a back three taking some of the defensive responsibilities away from Gedson so that he can attack.As Spurs are extremely well stocked in his natural position with the youngster quite far down the pecking order, right-back may be where he gets his minutes over the coming months.Gedson will get more opportunities to play in the role over the next few weeks against Reading, Birmingham City and Watford ahead of the Premier League opener, with chances then likely to arise next month due to the Europa League and Carabao Cup fixture chaos coming the team's way.In each football.london Tottenham bulletin, we'll bring you the latest breaking news, transfer features and comment pieces, as well as the key talking points for fans.We'll also send special newsletters when big stories break or there's a special event happening.It's easy and only takes seconds.
