Tottenham in talks with Liverpool target. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur has spoken to Liverpool target Micky van de Ven and is also interested in signing Edmond Tapsoba this summer.
After Spurs’ terrible 2022–23 season, manager Angelos Postecoglou is looking to bring in new center-backs. With 63 goals allowed, the most among the top 10 clubs in the league, players like Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, and Clement Lenglet struggled as their team finished eighth.
Tottenham has narrowed down two Bundesliga center-backs, as per Romano. These include Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen and Micky van de Ven of Wolfsburg.
Van de Ven has been impressive this season, making 36 appearances across all competitions, contributing to 12 clean sheets while also scoring one goal. The left-footed center-back, who is 22 years old, has a deal with Wolfsburg that runs through 2027.
Both Tottenham and Liverpool are expected to benefit from having the Dutchman on their team. According to reports, discussions would not start unless both teams offered a minimum of €30 million. Spurs are making good progress because they allegedly spoke with the Liverpool target.
Edmond Tapsoba is a target for the Spurs as well. The 24-year-old has had a successful season at Bayer Leverkusen as well, making 52 appearances, tallying two goals, and contributing to the team’s 15 shutouts. He has a deal with the German team through the summer of 2026, and according to CIES Football Observatory, he is worth about €30 million.
Tottenham and Liverpool could lose out on a promising young player to Inter Milan.
According to the Italian site Tuttomercatoweb (via Daily Express), due to Inter Milan’s growing interest in the prodigy, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur may miss out on signing Bristol City central midfielder Alex Scott.
The ‘The Guernsey Grealish’, a 19-year-old who has earned the nickname, had a standout Championship season last year. In 49 games across all leagues, he registered two goals and five assists.
He is now one of the most in-demand players in the Championship as a result of this. He is being monitored by several Premier League teams, including Tottenham, Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and West Ham.
Bristol City, who could only manage a 14th-place finish in the standings, is prepared to sell Scott this summer. For the youth, Inter Milan is prepared to pay £25 million, which is likely to complete the transaction.
With Nicolo Barella and Marcelo Brozovic said to be leaving the club, the Serie A powerhouses are in desperate need of a new centre midfielder.
