Tottenham are ‘scouting’ for a center back. However, the rumored Kim Min-Jae (Bayern Munich) is not the first choice. The center back is expected to come from the Premier League relegation zone.
‘Tottenham are reportedly planning a move for Luton Town’s Gabriel Osho to bolster Enzi Postecoglou’s defense, which is centered around Micky Vanderpasen,’ the Express reported on Feb. 22 (ET).
Luton Town are 18th in the table with 25 points from 34 games, having won 6, drawn 7 and lost 21. They are in the relegation zone. They are one point behind 17th-place Nottingham Forest. If they fail to stay up, it will be difficult to stop the exodus of key players.
Osho is even a free agent. There’s no transfer fee. He’s a favorite target of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. Reluctant to spend big on players, 안전놀이터 Levy is a big believer in value for money.
‘Spurs are keen to sign Osho, who is out of contract at Luton at the end of the season,’ says the Express. Osho is a versatile defender. Spurs are keen to bolster their defense after recent injuries to Pedro Foro and Destiny Udogie.
The Express added: ‘Osho is a cheap option for Tottenham.
However, Aston Villa and Fulham also want Osho, so competition is inevitable. Spurs are also keeping tabs on Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham) and Lloyd Kelly (Bournemouth),” the Express added.
Osho is a Nigerian central defender. He can play left-back, right wing-back and defensive midfield.
Tottenham use Van der Vaart and Cristian Romero as their main central defense duo. However, both players are injury prone. They also only have one backup center back, Radu Dragucin. Osho’s ability to play multiple positions makes him a perfect fit for Tottenham.
Spurs have also been linked with Kim Min-Jae, but the chances of that happening are close to zero.
Tottenham were also linked with Kim Min-Jae before the signing of Vander Penne. Even before joining Napoli, Kim Min-jae was constantly linked with a move to Tottenham, and Son Heung-min is a fan. Son Heung-min claimed that he was “desperate for Tottenham to sign Kim Min-jae”.
Tottenham have spent close to £70 million this season, signing Van der Vaart and Dragusin. Kim Min-Jae is expected to cost at least £40 million to £50 million.
Spurs are not in a position to spend big again for a defender.
Kim has run out of room at Bayern. He is the third or fourth option behind Matthias Derrich and Eric Dier.
However, German Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, who is well versed in Bayern news, said on his personal social media that Kim is not currently considering a summer move.
Plettenberg added: “Kim is currently Bayern’s third-choice center back. He is not happy with his current situation. However, he is not considering a summer move and wants to fight through and prove next season why Bayern brought him in last summer. 온라인카지노사이트 He also feels comfortable at Bayern, and his contract runs until 2028,” Kim dismissed the possibility of leaving the Bavarians anytime soon.
