GOOD MORNING TRANSFER NEWS: Deal is all completed internally after Levy speaks with players Star agent and club, Spurs now preparing to bid to secure a key signing
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a bid for a “phenomenal” Premier League talent, with chairman Daniel Levy and the club’s hierarchy recently engaging with the player’s agents. The north London club is already setting its sights on potential reinforcements as the summer transfer window approaches.
Tottenham Targeting Summer Signings
Spurs are actively scouting new talent, with several names being linked to the club. One key target is Feyenoord centre-back David Hancko. The Slovakian international has been a standout performer in the Eredivisie, making 23 appearances this season, averaging 2.7 clearances per game, and boasting an impressive 90.4% pass completion rate. Manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to strengthen his defensive options, and Hancko is seen as a priority signing.
Another name on Tottenham’s radar is Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, who impressed during the recent 2-2 draw against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The winger has contributed 11 goals and assists in 27 Premier League appearances this season, showcasing his attacking prowess. Semenyo’s exciting potential has made him a target for Tottenham, who are seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Additionally, Semenyo’s Bournemouth teammate Dean Huijsen has emerged as a significant target. The teenage centre-back, whose release clause is reportedly set at £55 million, has been on the radar of several top clubs, including Tottenham. Reports suggest that Spurs have already initiated talks with Huijsen’s representatives regarding a summer transfer.
Tottenham Preparing Bid for Dean Huijsen
According to Caught Offside, Tottenham is among the clubs “expected to make an offer” for Huijsen during the summer transfer window. The talented defender has also attracted interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Arsenal, with bids of around £30 million reportedly being prepared by potential suitors.
At just 19 years old, Huijsen has established himself as one of the most impressive central defenders in the Premier League. Despite his youth, he has been a reliable presence at the heart of Bournemouth’s defense. His international experience is equally impressive; he has earned six caps for Spain’s Under-21 team after previously representing the Netherlands at youth level across three age groups.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has described Huijsen as a “phenomenal” player. This sentiment is echoed by Juan Jesus Gutierrez Robles, his former coach at Málaga’s Under-16s, who has confidently stated, “I have no doubt that he will be one of the best centre-backs in the world for the next 10 years.”
Spurs’ Defensive Depth Concerns
While Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven currently form a strong defensive pairing for Tottenham, both players have struggled with injuries this season. This has highlighted the need for more depth in central defense. Huijsen is seen as a player with world-class potential who could provide long-term stability in Spurs’ backline.
Securing Huijsen’s signature would represent a major coup for Tottenham, especially given the competition from Liverpool and Arsenal. It would also signal Levy’s intent to back Postecoglou in the transfer market, strengthening the team for the future.
If Spurs can successfully land Huijsen, it would mark a significant step in their efforts to rebuild and compete at the highest level. For Tottenham fans, it could also provide hope that the club is serious about returning to the top tier of English football.
