A left-sided center-back is atop the needs that Tottenham Hotspur plans to address this summer. Last year, the north London club added Cristian Romero, and Eric Dier appears to be settling in under manager Antonio Conte, but an upgrade over Ben Davies is the route Spurs will take.
Earlier this month, The Atheltic put together a list of four targets that Tottenham will be looking at to fill the need, and one of those players was Freiburg’s Nico Schlotterbeck.
However, transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano reports Schlotterbeck has agreed to a deal with Borussia Dortmund. No further information regarding the details of the agreement, but Spurs will have to cross the 22-year-old off their list now.
The other three players that Spurs will be eyeing to fill that role this summer will be Josko Gvardiol, Alessandro Bastoni, and Sven Botman. This season, Schlotterbeck has made 34 appearances where he’s scored four goals and recorded one assist.
