Tottenham Hotspur are plotting an audacious move for Morgan Rogers after losing out on Eberechi Eze, but they would have to shatter their transfer record to get their hands on the Aston Villa star.
Spurs fans are now slowly coming to terms with the fact that they will be seeing Eze in an Arsenal shirt next season rather than a Tottenham one.
Daniel Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy do not have time to feel sorry for themselves and will have to act swiftly, with Thomas Frank’s squad in desperate need of creativity, given the injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano this morning that Morgan Rogers is Tottenham’s dream target, with the Lilywhites seeing the Villa star as a perfect fit for their setup.
Tottenham will have to break the bank to land Morgan Rogers
Romano claimed in the earlier update that according to industry sources, it will be very difficult – almost impossible – to get the 23-year-old out of Villa Park.
It has now been revealed by The Independent that Tottenham have had a longstanding interest in Rogers.
Interestingly, the outlet claims that there is a belief at Spurs that Villa will sell the attacking midfielder at the right price, due to the club’s PSR restrictions.
However, it is revealed that it would take a fee in excess of £80m to land the former Middlesbrough man, which would far exceed the club-record £65m Tottenham paid for Dominic Solanke last year.
Tottenham are also eyeing an English teenage winger
Since last evening, a number of sources have also reported that Tottenham have made contact over a deal for Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling.
This latest update by The Independent has backed up this claim, stating that over the last few hours, an approach has been made by the Lilywhites for the 19-year-old.
Southampton want around £40m-£50m for Dibling, with Everton currently locked in talks with the South Coast club over the winger.
