Tottenham have informed that they could sign a contract with the former Man City ace in January for 134 thousand pounds per week

Tottenham Hotspur bosses have been told behind the scenes that they can sign the former Man City player in the January transfer window, and he would likely be quite an improvement on their current options.

Spurs are expected to make more January signings for Ange

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou he is currently in the midst of an injury crisis and has been absent from the N17 for months.

The sickness bug ran through the Spurs training ground last week as well, resulting in Archie Gray and Radu Dragusin succumbing to illness, with many other first-team players on the treatment table with injury problems.

Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert and Guglielmo Vicario are currently unavailable, while Richarlison and Mikey Moore have only just returned to full first-team training.

Postecoglou’s lack of depth has been severely exposed this season, so much so Spurs are expected to make more signings in January in an effort to strengthen the team in key areas.

Tottenham are among the candidates to sign Randal Kolo Muani from PSG, according to some reports, with the France international out of favor under Luis Enrique and free to find a new club before the February 3 deadline.

Meanwhile, Spurs are also in the market for another central defenderand have been linked with a host of options in the form of RC Lens starlet Abdukodir Khusanov, Leeds United star Pascal Struijk, Feyenoord stalwart David Hanck, PSG’s Milan Skriniar, Getafe’s Omar Alderete, Inter Milan sensation Yann Bisseck, Borussia Mönchengladbach regular Ko Itakura and Thomas Kristensen from Udinese.

The possibility of another midfielder cannot be ruled out either, with the former Man City and Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz available to them as an option.

Tottenham have informed of a potential January deal for Douglas Luiz

The £134,000-a-week The Brazilian scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions for Villa last season, before leaving for Juventus this summer, with Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenchea leaving for Birmingham.

Now he could go back to Premier League just months after his move to Serie A, as The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey reported this week.

Juve is ready to give the green light to go on loan, which must include an obligation to buy, and Tottenham have been informed that Luiz is available for signing in January if they want to reach a deal for the 26-year-old. This could be a golden opportunity for Spurs to bring in a player of proven English top quality.

“He is playing weaker than we all expected, but we are talking about a strong player,” said Villa’s sports director Monchi he said about Luiz to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“There are guys who arrive and impose themselves, others who need time. Patience is needed, but Douglas’ qualities are not disputed. He will become important for Juve.

“He is a playmaker and every ball that comes out of his feet has its meaning: last year he played 90% of the games with us. He was determined.”
