Tottenham are reportedly among 11 clubs that appear to be interested in signing a more sensible PSG centre after suffering a knock in that position at Nottingham Forest on boxing day.
Romanian defender Radu Dragusin was the last centre-back to leave the area after suffering an ankle problem at the City Ground as Spurs rounded off the attack with Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma in the center of their defence.
With Christian Romero and Micky van de Ven already, the last thing that Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham needed with another injury in the back line but that appears to be the way things are currently going for the beleaguered north London side.
A fourth defeat in five games has left Spurs 11th on the table after 18 games and they can lose the position if Brentford wins at Brighton on Friday night, in what has been a disastrous season so far.
Postecoglou is also known to have been looking for another centre-back signing in January, even before Dragusin’s injury, and now a new report says they are one of 11 groups looking for Paris Saint-Germain star Milan SkriniarArray.
The 29 -year -old has been at Tottenham’s radar for several years, namely José Mourinho and Antonio Conte, and caught the reports that French giants are willing to pay attention to those who give around € 35 million (£ 29m/ $ 36). m) For Slovak.
Skriniar earned a reputation as one of Europe’s toughest defenders in his years playing for Inter Milan, where he made 246 appearances at the San Siro, winning five major trophies, adding the Serie A name in 2021.
However, a move to the Parc des Princes as a free agent in July 2023 has frustrated Skriniar as he’s lacked game time in the French capital. To that end, PSG are willing to cash in on the unsettled Skriniar heading into the January transfer window.
Luis Enrique has only given Skriniar five Ligue 1 appearances this season, but the challenge for Tottenham in their pursuit of the player is the sheer number of clubs seeking his services.
The report adds that Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, AS Roma, Napoli and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are also keeping their eyes on the experienced centre-back, who has been around for more than 3 years. He left his contract at the Parc des Princes.
Skriniar is not the only centre-back being targeted by Tottenham though, with former Everton man Ben Godfrey also said to be on the club’s radar ahead of a potential new year raid.
Postecoglou also confirmed after the Forest defeat that Dragusin’s injury may not be that serious, saying: “He was a bit sore. He hurt his ankle and said he couldn’t continue so we’ll just have to wait and see.”
Pressing about the plans of the Club for the Movement Window of January in general, the Australian added: “We paint the scenes hard, but we have an adjustment on Sunday and we focus on this first. Then we will read it in January.
Tottenham may also be boosted by the return of an injured star against Wolves, although they will be missing Djed Spence after the full-back saw red against Forest.
Ben Davies recently returned to training after overcoming a hamstring injury and Postecoglou showed that even if Boxing Day was a major threat to the Welshman, he would have a match for this weekend.
A striker in the past signed for € 90 million has a “strong opportunity” to move to the Premier League next month, and Manchester United has been overcome through Liverpool and Tottenham in the race to seal a daily agreement, according to a report.
PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani is the player in question, the Frenchman, who arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt for 75 million euros plus 15 million bonuses in 2023, is no longer part of Luis Enrique’s plans. He has been given the green light to leave next. month.
L’Equipe in the past said that Man Utd is willing to agree on an agreement with PSG that is open to a six -month loan that includes an option/obligation to buy.
