“Tottenham wants to bring a new centre-back to London by next week,” European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on streaming platform Kick on the 30th (Korea time). “They want to complete the recruitment as soon as possible. Jean-Claire Todibo (23) is the top target, and he is also interested in Radu Dragucine (21).” 안전놀이터 추천
Tottenham suffered a major bleed on their center back. Van der Pen was out for an extended period of time after suffering a hamstring injury in the match against Chelsea in the 11th round of the Premier League. According to Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou, he is expected to return within January.
In addition, Romero recently collapsed. Romero only played in the first half of the match against Everton in the 18th round due to a hamstring problem. “I expect him to return in four to five weeks,” Postecoglou said at a press conference ahead of the match against Brighton in the 19th round.
As a result, Ben Davies and Emerson Royale played as a “full-back” combination against Brighton. They were the worst defenders, conceding four runs and losing two to four, which stopped their winning streak. The problem is that this pattern continues until the games against Bournemouth and Burnley.
Tottenham decided to recruit a center back as their top priority in the winter transfer market. This is because they can no longer experience the same nightmares as in the first half of the season in the second half. Todibo and Dragushin were named at the same time, and they want to complete the recruitment in the first week of the transfer market.
The likely candidate was Todibo. “Tottenham plans to recruit Todibo to strengthen its defense in January. The opening bid is 30 million pounds (49.5 billion won). Tottenham wants a quick answer from Nice.” However, negotiations have been delayed due to Nice’ reluctance to leak power during the season.
As a result, Dragushin was named as a new option. Italian media outlets reported that Tottenham was ahead of AC Milan, Atalanta BC, and AS Roma in the recruitment race. The estimated transfer fee is likewise reported to be £30 million, with some saying they have reached an agreement with Genoa. According to Romano, Tottenham plans to make an official announcement within next week and would like to complete the deal with the side that agrees to it sooner.
