Tottenham Hotspur is ready to use the free transfer market to help improve its central defense position. A couple of days ago, a report stated that Spurs are prepared to make an offer for Antonio Rüdiger.
Now it seems the north London-based club is ready to pursue another Chelsea defender whose contract expires in June. According to the Daily Star, Tottenham is among the clubs eyeing center-back Andreas Christensen.
Christensen has yet to extend with Chelsea. Also, with the January window opening soon, the 25-year-old can begin talks with any club and agree to a pre-contract that kicks in next season.
Manager Antonio Conte has pinpointed reinforcing Spurs’ spine as absolute importance. Although the Italian tactician having coach Christensen the defender during his time with The Blues, leaving for another London-based club doesn’t seem like the smartest of moves.
Nonetheless, a quality deal and a project that intrigues him might be enough to forgo any allegiance he has to Chelsea. Spurs aren’t the only Premier League club eyeing the Denmark international as Manchester City and Manchester United also have an interest.
