Tottenham Hotspur are now pushing forward with negotiations to sign a Premier League-proven midfielder, who has expressed a willingness to move to N17.
According to reports over recent days, signing an attacking midfielder has now become a priority for Tottenham after the injury to James Maddison.
Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that a number of sources over the last few weeks have claimed that Harvey Elliott is one of the names at the top of Tottenham’s wishlist.
It was reported by The Mirror a couple of days ago that RB Leipzig are pushing ahead with talks over a deal for Elliott, but it now looks like Spurs have responded by stepping up their interest in the 22-year-old.
Harvey Elliott’s move to Tottenham is said to be advancing
Football Transfers now say that Spurs are making ‘significant progress’ in their pursuit of Elliott after stepping up talks with Liverpool.
The report claims that Tottenham had already expressed an interest in the England Under-21 international earlier in the summer, but there is now an urgency in the negotiations following James Maddison’s ACL injury.
The outlet reveals that Thomas Frank is a fan of the Reds star and has already held conversations with the player regarding a move to N17.
The Dane pitched a vision to Elliott of deploying him as a number ten, with the Tottenham head coach believing that the player’s technical and physical qualities will make him a good fit for his Spurs side.
Elliott’s and Liverpool’s stance revealed
According to Football Transfers, the Liverpool star is keen on getting regular football under his belt and sees a switch to Tottenham as an ‘ideal opportunity’ to stake a claim in England’s World Cup squad.
Liverpool are open to selling Elliott to Spurs for £40m, but they are insistent on adding a buy-back clause to the deal.
Interestingly, the publication asserts that Tottenham are willing to meet all of Liverpool’s demands, including the insertion of a buy-back clause.
