Journalist: “My understanding” is that Spurs might re-sign a “beautiful” player before Pochettino.

 

 

There have been rumors that Tottenham may try to sign a former player again who is also desired by Chelsea under former manager Mauricio Pochettino.

 

Spurs rumored to be hiring a new defender

The purchase of Radu Dragusin from Genoa may not be the end of Ange Postecoglou’s negotiations as a defender in 2024.

 

To strengthen Postecoglou’s center-back options, Spurs signed the Romanian for a reported £25 million. However, journalist Dean Jones claims that the team is intending to recruit another “top-level” center-back this summer.

 

Jones told GiveMeSport last week that “the situation hasn’t changed, and Tottenham have always intended to sign two top-level center-backs throughout 2024.”

 

“Now that they have one through the door, they intend to pursue another during the summer window. Although Calafiori and Morato are being discussed at this point, a broader net is being cast. A number of intriguing possibilities are becoming available to them. Even yet, it appears that they are not making a commitment just yet, despite their desire to act quickly during the summer transfer window in a manner akin to what they did in the winter market.

 

Spurs are reportedly considering signing a new full-back in addition to a center-back, even though Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are playing excellently.

 

Both defenders have excelled in Postecoglou’s high-pressure pressing scheme as inverted wing-backs, frequently taking on pivotal roles in the attacking phase. However, Postecoglou is only supported by Emerson Royal and the frequently sidelined Ryan Sessegnon.

 

Tottenham may re-sign Walker-Peters and is interested in a new full-back.

Journalist Graeme Bailey of Tottenham News claims that one possibility for Spurs would be to re-sign Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters. Bailey claims that Pochettino’s Chelsea have also considered signing the right-back.

 

Bailey stated, “From what I understand, they’re looking for someone who could be able to play both sides—maybe not Diego Dalot, but someone along those lines.”

 

Premier League transfers from Newcastle to Kyle Walker Peters

Walker-Peters is someone Chelsea looked at as well, so I wouldn’t rule it out. The fourth center-half for these additions, in my opinion, should be either Lloyd Kelly or Tosin Adarabioyo, who could sign for free. They are good Premier League players, but they will ultimately be seen as fourth choices. Spurs don’t have to shell out £60 million for a center back.

According to WhoScored, the Englishman has started 33 Championship games for the Saints this season, shining as one of their outstanding performers. Russell Martin has also referred to him as a “beautiful footballer”.

 

“I wonder how important he’s become,” Adam Blackmore of Radio Solent stated (BBC).

 

“You simply wonder at the conclusion of the season how crucial keeping him will have been, given what transpired in the summer over the rumored transfer interest. He plays such a crucial role in all they do. It appears as though the group is centered on him in order to maximize his potential.”
