Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Matt O’Riley from Brighton at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old Danish midfielder has done well for the Premier League club, and he could prove to be a very handy option for the north London outfit.

Matt O’Riley would be a superb addition

They need more control, creativity, and technical ability in the middle of the park. O’Riley has the technical attributes to play for a big club, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done. The player will cost around £35 million, as per FussballDaten.

Tottenham has the financial muscle to get the deal done, and the 25-year-old will be attracted to the idea of joining the London club as well.

Spurs need players like O’Riley to bounce back

Spurs will look to bounce back strongly after a disappointing season, and they need quality signings during the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Danish midfielder will look to take the next step in his career and play for a bigger club. He will look to fight for trophies with Tottenham in the coming seasons.

The report claims that the newly appointed Tottenham manager, Roberto De Zerbi, is an admirer of the 25-year-old and his name is at the top of the Italian manager’s transfer wishlist.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. They have the resources to afford the player, and they should look to wrap up the move quickly.

Tottenham need to plug the weaknesses in their team during the summer transfer window if they want to do well next season. They should sign a quality defensive midfielder as well, who will protect the back four and allow the creative players to operate with more freedom.
