Spursi Open Conversations to Sign Amazing Barcelona Target

It’s not hard to recognize Tottenham Hotspur’s The biggest problems of this season.
The most significant was undoubtedly an absurd number of injuries they had to deal with, but in a near second, their leaky defense was.
For example, despite being the 14th, Ange Postecoglou’s The side achieved The second loudest goals In the Premier League this season, but when it comes to goals against, they are the eighth worst.
Maybe a new defender should be at the top of his agenda when a summer window opens.

So, it is clear that even when everyone returns from an injury, the club must add its defense capabilities, which, based on recent reports, is their goal, as a player compared to Virgil van Dijk He was now proclaimed a transition to N17.
Indeed, according to a A recent report by SpainTottenham is one of several teams of incredibly eager to sign Bayer’s star Leverkusen Jonathan Taha.
In fact, with Lilywhites, the report revealed that Liverpool “had already launched contacts” because of a potential agreement, as it seemed as if German set to join Barcelona an earlier, uncertain financial position of the Catalan club opened the door to other teams to try their happiness.
Although the level of competition remains far from ideal, the good news is that with Bunner Agreement They expire in the summer, the transfer would be completely in Lilywhites budget, even if the player required a significant signature fee.
All in all, this could be a complicated transfer to end up in front of Liverpool and potentially Barca, but given the Tah of huge ability, this is one of the valuable struggles, especially since he could be Spursov Van Dijk.
TAHOVA comparison with outside Dijk
So, before we get into some other reasons why the Spurs should sign this summer, it is worth examining this comparison with Van Dijk and where it comes from.
It primarily stems from FBREF -Awho looks at players in similar positions in the first five leagues, the Champions League and the Europa League, and then creates a list of the top ten players for everyone, and, in this case, concluded that the Dutch is the most similar central back to Germany.
