Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the Juventus defender, Lloyd Kelly, and they could look to make a move for him in the summer.
The 27-year-old has done quite well at the Italian club, and his value has more than doubled since joining them. According to journalist Mirko Di Natale, the player will cost around €40-50 million in the summer.
Spurs could use Lloyd Kelly
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to make a move for him. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and signing the versatile defender would be ideal. He can play as a central defender or a full back. He could be the ideal utility man for Tottenham. Luciano Spalletti has described him as “a complete player”.
However, the asking price could complicate matters. Tottenham need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and spending €50 million on Kelly could be difficult. In addition, they are currently 16th in the league table, and they are likely to miss out on Champions League revenue next season. It will be interesting to see if they can afford the defender.
Kelly to replace Romero?
Meanwhile, Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club. He is likely to leave if Tottenham fail to secure Champions League qualification. He is one of the best defenders in the world, and he will look to compete at the highest level.
Spurs will need to replace him properly, and Kelly could be a useful acquisition. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Italian outfit will not want to lose them easily, and any club hoping to secure his signature will have to pay a premium.
