Tottenham Hotspur are long term admirers of Danish centre-back Joachim Andersen, and their path appears to be clearing.
The
Daily Mail reported last month
Spurs are keen on Andersen, who Sampdoria could seek as much as £50 million for.
However a bidding war does not appear to be ensuing, allowing Spurs to potentially land him for less than that fee.
Tuttomercatoweb report Inter Milan's interest has faded after renewing the Milan Skriniar's contract.
The same report claims Juventus have also dropped him from their priorities, and it is expected he will head to the
Premier League.
This should be music to Tottenham's ears, for when the time comes to replace Toby Alderweireld.
Spurs are vulnerable to losing the Belgian centre-back due to a release clause in his contract.
Andersen appears to be a very viable option.
Tottenham transfer news: Spurs to launch £80million double raid for Bournemouth stars Callum Wilson and David Brooks – reports
Mauricio Pochettino is eyeing deals for the duo after being given the green light to splash the cash this summer
Tottenham are set to launch an £80million double raid for Bournemouth stars Callum Wilson and David Brooks, according to reports.
Wilson scored 15 goals during the 2018/19 campaign, while Brooks’ form saw him beat Real Madrid star Gareth Bale to the Welsh footballer of the year award.
The Sun claim the duo’s performances over the past year have convinced Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino to spend big on them.
Wilson signed
a new four-year deal with the Cherries last July as Brooks, an £11.5million signing from Sheffield United last summer,
agreed fresh terms in March.
Tottenham have not signed a player since Lucas Moura’s £25million arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018.
But after guiding Spurs to a Champions League final, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is preparing to back Pochettino in the summer.
England striker Wilson has been identified as ideal back-up to Harry Kane, who has been plagued by ankle injuries this year.
And Pochettino is believed to be a big fan of Brooks, who has been linked with a move to
Manchester United in the past.
Both players are valued at £40million as Pochettino plans to overhaul his squad.
