Tottenham Hotspur are again pushing for defensive reinforcement.
"Tottenham is ready to compete with Newcastle United to recruit Mohamed Simakan (23, Leipzig) in this summer's transfer market," British media "Team Talk" reported on the 10th.
Tottenham has displayed outstanding performance this season. Having played 31 matches in the Premier League, the club is ranking fourth with 18 wins, six draws and seven losses with 60 points.
It was not without elements of anxiety. The thin center-back players were pointed out as Tottenham's weakness. In fact, Tottenham suffered greatly when Mickey Van der Pen and Christian Romero left at the same time.
In January, Tottenham began efforts to recruit a center back in the transfer window. Tottenham successfully secured Radu Dragucine for 25 million euros in January and successfully strengthened its defense.
He has also seen some effect in recruiting players. Although Dragushin has yet to play many games for Tottenham, he proved the importance of a backup by filling Van der Pen's injury gap in three league games last month.
Tottenham were not satisfied with this. It is seeking to recruit another center back. According to the latest report, Tottenham, which aims to strengthen its defense this summer, has set Simakan as its target.
Shimakan is considered a talent to grow into a top defender in the future. It is a multi-resource that can play not only center back but also right back, and its fast feet and solid interpersonal defense ability are considered advantages.
His main focus will surpass Tottenham striker Timo Werner (28). "The Simakan, who has the top speed of 22.06 mph, is ahead of Werner at 20.75 mph," Team Talk said.
It has already established itself as a core player in Leipzig. Throughout all tournaments this season, he has garnered two goals and two assists in 37 matches, demonstrating his competitiveness to the highest level. 토토사이트
A large amount of transfer fee is inevitable for recruitment. Leipzig is said to have set Shimakan's transfer fee at 70 million euros (about 100 billion won) ahead of the transfer market this summer.
