When the summer transfer window opens, Tottenham are reportedly ready to rekindle their interest in an old center-back target.
Given Tottenham’s recent defensive woes, whoever takes over as the new permanent manager in north London is expected to bring in at least one new central defender.
Tottenham have conceded 14 goals in their previous four Premier League games, with the majority of them coming at the start and conclusion of games.
To that purpose, Daniel Levy is anticipated to spend money to improve the position, which might be bad news for Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez, the latter of whom is expected to be sold.
However, it appears that Spurs are once again interested in Brazilian stopper Gleison Bremer.
The 26-year-old is thought to have piqued Newcastle’s interest in recent weeks, while Tottenham has been monitoring him for at least a couple of seasons.
Bremer joined Juventus at the start of the season and rapidly established himself as an important player for the Italian giants. Indeed, his four goals and one assist this season in all competitions have only increased his value to the Turin giants.
With his pace and power, the former Torino player might be an excellent fit for Cristian Romero.
Juventus will expect £44 million for a key center-back.
However, Bremer will not be cheap, with Juventus expected to demand around €50 million (£44 million) for the Brazilian, according to CalcioMercatoWeb.
According to the source, Bremer may be enticed by the prospect to play in England, which has sparked Tottenham’s attention.
However, the north London club must first resolve their manager issue before turning their attention to major transfer targets.
Spurs are thought to have planned a meeting with Sporting coach Ruben Amorim to explore the post after he impressed against the team in two Champions League matches this season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso, who has been impressing at Bayer Leverkusen, is said to have surpassed Feyenoord’s Arne Slot in the pecking order to land the job.
Tottenham, being led by interim manager Ryan Mason, return to Premier League action on Saturday when they entertain Crystal Palace.
Better to sign solid defender and midfield please levy do it.
