Tottenham should target Premier League talent
At this early stage of the summer transfer window, it’s clear that Tottenham are having trouble luring top foreign talent to North London. Fortunately for Spurs, there’s a very easy solution for this pesky problem.
Mauricio Pochettino and company simply need to look for talent closer to home. In fairness, the club tried to do with this Ryan Sessegnon, but the talented fullback elected to stick with Fulham to make sure he received regular playing time. Otherwise, most of Spurs’ reported interest this summer has taken place elsewhere in Europe.
While I’m in favour of the club looking for talent all over the globe, it only makes sense to start in your own backyard. That’s why I’m writing this piece. My intention is to suggest five current Premier League stars that could serve as quality transfer targets for Tottenham.
You won’t find big names in this list. Of course, it’d be great if Pochettino could lure Kevin de Bruyne to Spurs. That isn’t going to happen though. Instead, I’m focusing on under the radar targets who would really be attainable. Naturally, that means I’m going to be looking at the rosters of clubs who reside outside the league’s top six.
That doesn’t mean these players aren’t talented though. On the contrary, they should be hungry to prove they can play at a club like Tottenham. That hunger, and their relatively modest price tags, should help convince Daniel Levy to investigate the possibility of signing them.
Without further delay, read on to discover the identify of five Premier League stars that should be on Tottenham’s radar.
