Tottenham and Galatasaray open discussions to land strong 24-year-old central defender

Victor Nelsson has emerged as a target for Tottenham ahead of the summer transfer season, according to TakVim. The 24-year-old center defender has had a successful season with Galatasaray, who are willing to sell him. Spurs are in need of a new center-back and may hold negotiations with their Turkish opponents.

Tottenham’s roster of center defenders extended with the addition of another player. While the north London club seeks a new sporting director and manager, they will prioritize player recruiting.

After a horrible season, this team requires surgery. The club has kept elements of previous manager Antonio Conte’s wish list and will look for a new centre-back in the summer. Many candidates have been canvassed, but the Spurs are still a long way from signing any of them.

Tottenham are interested in Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Maguire and Manchester City’s Aymeric Laporte. Whether they sign either remains to be seen, but they have other possibilities. In the background, they are hoping to reach an agreement with Barcelona for on-loan defender Clement Lenglet, but a fresh option appears to be necessary.

Max Kilman of the Wolves is also a target, and now Victor Nelsson has emerged as a possible target. This season, the Galatasaray star has appeared 33 times for the Super Lig club, which is on the verge of becoming Turkey’s champion.

Galatasaray is willing to let the 24-year-old center defender go for the appropriate price. They want interested teams to pay €25 million, which is also his contract’s release clause. Tottenham might consider approaching at that range.

With Arsenal’s interest in the versatile talent, the Turkish giants may possibly lose Sacha Boey. Losing the right back and the 24-year-old Nelsson will be devastating for Galatasaray, but they are willing to negotiate for the right price.

He has the potential to give much-needed grit to the Spurs’ backline and develop into a competent contender. However, they may need to act quickly to avoid further issues, since other teams may be interested in paying Galatasaray’s asking price.
