Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit in the summer, and they have identified the AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw as a target.
The 23-year-old has been linked with clubs like Arsenal as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. According to a report from Calciomercato.It, Tottenham are ‘monitoring’ his situation and they could look to make a move in the coming weeks.
The defender will cost €25-30 million, and Spurs certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done. They need to add more defensive depth to the side, and the 23-year-old German could be the ideal acquisition.
Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and Tottenham will have to replace him adequately. The 23-year-old German defender certainly has the qualities needed to succeed in the Premier League, and he could be a quality signing for the reported asking price.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat Arsenal and secure his signature.
Arsenal keen on Malic Thiaw
Meanwhile, Arsenal need to add more depth and quality to the squad as well. They are fighting for league titles and the Champions League. They need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions, and the 23-year-old defender could be very useful for them.
It will be interesting to see whether the German ends up. He will want to compete at a high level, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for him. Tottenham and Arsenal are likely to be exciting destinations for the player.
The asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality and potential. He could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons. Both clubs have the finances to get the deal done.
