Tottenham Hotspur want to strengthen in three areas before the transfer window slams shut in less than two weeks.
It has been widely reported over the past week that Tottenham are working on deals for Eberechi Eze and Savinho, with Thomas Frank’s men thought to be keen on signing both players.
According to various sources, as things stand, Spurs are much more confident about the Eze deal than the Savinho one.
Over recent days, there have also been suggestions that Thomas Frank wants to add a centre-back to his squad.
Paul O’Keefe sheds light on Tottenham’s transfer aims
It has already been reported by several sources that Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze and Savinho are separate deals, with the players fitting different requirements in Frank’s set-up.
Tottenham insider, Paul O’Keefe, has now predicted that Spurs could have a busy end to the transfer window.
O Keefe said on The Last Word on Spurs podcast that Tottenham will try to sign a winger, an attacking midfielder and a left-sided centre-back before the window slams shut.
Spurs have identified their top centre-back target
According to various sources, Tottenham have settled on Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapie as their top centre-back target.
It may not be an easy deal to do, as Leverkusen issued a hands-off warning to Spurs on Hincapie earlier this summer.
Hincapie has a release clause of £51m, and an exit from the Bay Arena has thus not been ruled out for the Ecuador international despite the German club’s desire to keep him.
