Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a number of defenders in recent months.
A report from 90 min claims that they tried to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen during the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old German international is on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs including Liverpool and Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to reignite their interest in the Bundesliga defender at the end of the season.
It is no secret that Antonio Conte needs to bring in a more reliable partner for Cristian Romero and the German defender could prove to be the ideal signing.
Tah has proven himself in the Bundesliga over the years and he could prove to be an upgrade on players like Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier next season.
The report from 90 min claims that despite talks with the German club’s officials regarding the 27-year-old, Tottenham decided not to advance with their interest. Apparently, the London club are prioritising a move for his defensive partner Piero Hincapie instead.
The 21-year-old Ecuador international has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months and he could prove to be a superb long-term signing for the London club.
Both players would help Tottenham improve at the back and it remains to be seen who they end up signing eventually.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League is likely to be a lucrative option for both players and a move to Tottenham would be a major step up in their careers.
