Their chase seems to hinge on the outcomes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, since relegation would also diminish their hopes of obtaining the former Chelsea star. Saudi Arabia is also anticipated to show a lot of interest in the coming weeks as the German approaches the last months of his Real Madrid contract.
Tottenham is looking at its centre-back options in case it loses Romero and Van de Ven this summer, according to a story published earlier this week by Football Insider. Rumours of a move to Atletico Madrid have reappeared in recent weeks after the former criticised the Lilywhites’ management. In the meantime, teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool are vying for Van de Ven.
The two have been crucial players for the North Londoners in recent years, but after yet another dreadfully disappointing domestic campaign, there is growing conjecture that they could go. Rüdiger appears to have been identified as a potential target for Tottenham, who are presently assessing their options about potential replacements for their current starting lineup.
Arsenal prepare £30.5m bid for Serie A sensation
Arsenal is engaged in a “battle” with Man City and Chelsea for the starlet’s signing, according to CaughtOffside. The defensive “sensation” is one of the “most exciting prospects in European football”; therefore, a number of Premier League heavyweights are “monitoring Ahanor’s progress”.
Both City and Arsenal are “evaluating a bid worth in the region of €35m”. Before incorporating Ahanor into their starting lineup, Chelsea is drafting a “structured deal involving a loan spell”. Atalanta is not in the mood to part with their most recent star, though. They wish to retain Ahanor for “at least another season” since they consider him “untouchable”.
According to the article, Ahanor is a “physically robust and quick” defender who is “technically gifted and tactically intelligent”. Ahanor is an excellent “modern-day defender” because of his versatility as a centre-half or an aggressive full-back. We have given several updates about Ahanor’s development and his possible relocation to England. Chelsea and City scouts have been “ever-present” in observing him this season, as we disclosed on December 17.
