Tottenham willing to make ‘very significant offer’ to land £100m Premier League star

1 hour ago 34

Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to push ahead with an ambitious move for one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League.

There have been plenty of suggestions over recent days that Spurs may look to bolster their midfield in January, with the speculation coming amidst suggestions that Yves Bissouma could be on his way out from N17.

As we approach the January window, we have heard suggestions that Tottenham are keen on bringing Ruben Neves back to the Premier League.

However, a new update has now claimed that the Lilywhites may go after a midfielder, who is thought to be valued at a whopping £100m.

Tottenham prepared to make a big offer for Adam Wharton

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are now set to step up their pursuit of Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.

The outlet reveals that the Lilywhites tried to sign the 21-year-old in the summer, but their interest was knocked back. They are prepared to try again in January, and this time, Thomas Frank’s men are willing to make ‘a very significant offer’ for the player.

The report explains that Tottenham have prepared an exhaustive list of targets, in which Wharton sits at the ambitious end of the spectrum.

The North Londoners see the England international as ‘the ideal profile’ to build around in the long-term, with the club willing to position themselves at the front of the negotiations.

Will Crystal Palace be receptive to offers for Wharton?

TEAMtalk say that Spurs know they would have to act quickly to move to the front of the queue for the midfielder, as he is also on the wishlist of Manchester United.

It is explained that the Palace chiefs are determined to keep hold of Wharton, given that they are likely to lose Marc Guehi in January.

However, there is said to be an acceptance among the Selhurst Park hierarchy that the former Blackburn Rovers man will be allowed to leave the club should the right offer arrive.

The publication adds that while a move for Wharton in January may prove nearly impossible for Tottenham, the club are prepared to lay the groundwork for a potential deal further down the line.
