Rumours circulating on the internet suggest that Tottenham Hotspur will add to their midfield at the end of the current campaign.
And with Oliver Skipp’s future still up in the air and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele’s futures at Spurs uncertain, there’s room for reinforcements in the middle of the park.
Most Tottenham supporters are surely aware of the rampant rumours that Spurs and Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher are linked, and these rumours will get worse over the next several months.
But there’s another name circulating that seems like a strong candidate for Tottenham. This player is from Serie A, which has given Spurs several gems recently.
The individual in question is Ederson of Atalanta, one of the best midfielders in the Italian league.
Ederson, an Atlanta midfielder, is a target for Tottenham.
For a few months now, there have been rumours linking Ederson—not to be confused with his namesake at Manchester City—to Spurs.
But in recent days, there have been rumours indicating that Tottenham is reportedly very interested in the 24-year-old and that a transfer may be imminent.
GiveMeSport, for example, claims that Tottenham is “completely convinced” that Ederson would be a perfect fit for them.
Tottenham is reportedly considering making an offer for him this summer due to his “dramatic improvements in his game” and adaptability.
Additionally, Ederson’s speedy recovery of the ball and delivery of it to Atalanta’s attackers is said to have astounded Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs are reportedly “increasingly likely” to make a move for the Brazilian star, according to Sports Lens.
Ederson is also attracting interest from Newcastle and Manchester United, they say, but Spurs could make the centre-back their “priority” this summer.
Of course, Tottenham’s moves for Ederson and Gallagher cannot be ignored.\ In fact, it has been reported that both could be worth up to £30 million.
If so, Spurs could certainly afford both. If a bidding war breaks out for Gallagher – and he is a Premier League star and England international, that is unlikely – Tottenham are in danger of being priced out.
Ederson could become an outstanding candidate in this case. After all, he has been described as a “very complete midfielder” with “great power and speed”.
Ederson could light up the stadium at Tottenham Hotspur, so let’s see what happens in the coming months. Hopefully, Spurs will confirm their interest.
