Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL) is focusing on signing a defender.
Tottenham are looking to fill the void left by Eric Dier, who has been their signature defender.
Dier is set to leave the club in the winter transfer window. Spurs are currently sitting atop the EPL table, and if they want to keep their momentum going in the second half of the season and win the title, they'll need to bolster their defense.
With that in mind, the Express has revealed a shortlist of four defenders that Spurs could sign in the January transfer window. 안전토토사이트
The four are Lloyd Kelly (Bournemouth), Ko Itakura (Mönchengladbach), Trevor Chalobah (Chelsea), and Mark Gehi (Crystal Palace).
The outlet concludes, "This is the final list that coach Enze Postecoglou wants. A list of four defenders he hopes to sign to win the title and to fill the void left by Dier."
Of Kelly, the publication says: "He is the number one defender Tottenham want. He is a versatile defender, especially for chairman Daniel Levy.
Kelly can play at center-back and left-back and is understood to be available for a fee of around £20 million ($32.7 million)."
As for Chalobah, "He will most likely leave Chelsea next January. He is a player who can play as a center back as well as a defensive midfielder."
"He's another player who can fill the void left by Dier. He plays as a center back, but he can also play as a defensive midfielder. Tottenham are very keen on Itakura."
The most interesting player, according to the outlet, is Gehi. "The most eye-catching player on the final list is Gehi. He's done well for Crystal Palace and has been in great form for the England national team.
Crystal Palace are reluctant to sell him, but a big offer could convince them. It could be more than £60 million ($982 million)."
