JUST IN- Alasdair Gold reveals Tottenham are interested in £46m player this summer who has lit up Euro 2024
Tottenham Hotspur is set to intensify their pursuit of one of the standout performers at Euro 2024, with the Lilywhites joining a host of clubs eager to secure his services. Ange Postecoglou’s inaugural season at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yielded promising signs for the future, although it was not without its challenges, including significant injuries that plagued the squad throughout the campaign. Despite playing just above the minimum number of games last season, Spurs are bracing for a much more demanding schedule in the upcoming 2024/25 season, particularly with the revamped Europa League adding to their commitments.
Club chairman Daniel Levy faces the task of bolstering the squad to ensure Postecoglou has a pool of top-quality players at his disposal, enabling him to rotate the team effectively. While Timo Werner’s arrival has been the sole addition to Hotspur Way this summer, Tottenham is eyeing further reinforcements, with a reported £46 million summer target in their sights.
The ongoing European Championship has presented challenges and opportunities for clubs like Tottenham in the summer transfer market. Ideally, Spurs would prefer to conclude their transfer dealings early, allowing Postecoglou ample time to integrate new signings into the squad before the pre-season preparations kick off. However, the current transfer landscape is somewhat stalled, with the Euro 2024 performances potentially altering player valuations across the board.
Despite these challenges, the tournament also offers clubs like Tottenham a chance to closely evaluate potential targets, such as Atletico Bilbao’s winger Nico Williams. The young Spaniard has been impressive during Euro 2024, attracting attention from several European clubs, including Tottenham. However, any potential move for Williams could prove challenging, given his current commitment to Bilbao and lack of expressed desire to depart.
Williams’ stellar performances for Spain, including a standout display against Italy where he earned the man of the match accolade, have undoubtedly caught the eye of prospective suitors. At just 21 years old, Williams represents a promising long-term prospect, potentially filling the shoes of the likes of Heung-min Son at Tottenham. Convincing him to make the switch to north London would require significant effort from Spurs, but the potential payoff in securing his services could be substantial.
