Tottenham are looking to improve their defensive unit in the coming weeks and they have been linked with a move for Thomas Kristensen.
The 22-year-old Udinese defender has attracted the attention of multiple European clubs and he could be on the move this month. The defender is reportedly valued at £16.5 million and Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
According to football insider, Tottenham scouted the player in action just before Christmas and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player.
The 22-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience and he could develop into a key player for the North London club with the right guidance. The reported asking price could look like a major bargain in the long term.
Tottenham need to tighten up at the back if they want to finish the season strongly and push for European qualification. They have looked quite vulnerable at the back in recent weeks.
Key players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are sidelined with injury problems and they need central defenders at their disposal. Tottenham should look to get their act together and make a move for the Denmark defender quickly.
Leicester City and Bayer Leverkusen are keen on the player as well and Tottenham cannot afford to miss out on him. The 22-year-old has a contract with the Italian club until 2028 and Tottenham will have to pay the asking price if they want to get the deal done.
Tottenham are currently 11th in the league table and they will be desperate to get their season back on track during the second half of the campaign. If they can sort out their defensive problems, there is no reason why they cannot finish high up the table.
