Following news of Cristian Romero’s injury, Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a resolution to sign Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in the January window.
North Londoners are expected to be active in the market next month. They want reinforcements at the back and Gomez has a wonderful target for Ange Postecoglou’s team.
Tottenham suffered a major blow after it became known that Cristian Romero was injured and would be out for more than a month.
The Argentine is their best defender. Yes, he is reckless at times, but Tottenham’s chances of winning games are much higher when he is in the side.
What makes matters worse for Tottenham is that Micky van de Ven is still injured, Ange Postecoglou, who obviously doesn’t like Eric Dier, will have to opt for a central defensive partnership of Ben Davies and Emerson Royal against Brighton tonight.
Tottenham want reinforcements at the back, with the Daily Mail now claiming that Spurs are interested in signing Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in the January transfer window.
The Englishman is far from Jurgen Klopp’s first pick, but he remains an important component of his squad due to Liverpool’s injuries.
The Reds are unlikely to consider any offers for him in January, but the report claims that Tottenham are very much interested in the versatile defender.
Joe Gomez’s price tag has plummeted in recent years, but the Englishman is still a big proponent and his versatility makes him a very option.
Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of Gomez. He has been by his side in his difficult moments and has praised him on occasion.
In January 2020, Klopp said of Gómez, according to Liverpool’s official website: “Joe jumped between right-back and centre-back, which is not the best when you have no rhythm. If you are in a smart moment, that is No. There is a problem, but at that moment Joe didn’t have the rhythm and that’s why it was a bit difficult for him.
“But because the centre-back (his natural position) is played with Virg, he’s exceptional. He’s a sensational footballer, which is good.
“He’s been given exceptional speed, which is helping us a lot to keep our last line high; He’s a very smart challenger; intelligent in individual situations; On the football side, I’ve already said it, well. The package is really nice. It was clear that when I started playing and could get back into the rhythm, everything would be fine, and it is.
