Tottenham Hotspur have identified a Premier League-proven centre-back as a summer priority, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor, who updated GIVEMESPORT.
Spurs are looking for extra reinforcements, despite the fact that Ange Postecoglou has already made significant additions to his new-look club.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer information
Tottenham’s camp is buzzing ahead of the new season, with Postecoglou having infused a much-needed new breath of life at Hotspur Way.
Active in the market, Tottenham’s marquee signing so far this summer has been the £40 million purchase of James Maddison, who joined from Leicester City.
“I think he’s a player that ticks the homegrown quota, he’s admired by Spurs and it looks like he can leave Fulham this summer, as he’s only got one year left on his deal. So I think they’re the two that will probably be the priority, Micky van de Ven and Adarabioyo.”
What is Tottenham’s next step?
As Taylor mentioned, the Spurs are looking for a low-cost deal for Adarabioyo this summer in order to bolster their defensive alternatives.
According to The Evening Standard, the north Londoners will attempt to capitalize on Adarabioyo’s desire to quit Fulham by signing the ex-Manchester City man for a reduced fee.
While there is no word on how much the Manchester-born defender will cost, Transfermarkt values Adarabioyo at £13 million, implying Spurs will not have to break the bank to sign him this summer.
Adarabioyo, who earns an estimated £40,000 per week, is out of contract at the end of the season and has showed no signs of extending his stay at Craven Cottage.
With 58 Premier League outings under his belt, the former England under-19 international has plenty of experience in the top division and should be able to add quality to Spurs’ backline.
