As the summer transfer window approaches, Tottenham Hotspur are actively in the market for a versatile defender capable of playing both as a full-back and at the heart of the defence.
The latest reports have placed the Lilywhites among the top clubs interested in Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida.
According to Dutch outlet ADSportwereld, the Netherlands international has attracted attention from across Europe, with notable interest from England.
Alongside Tottenham, Premier League sides Liverpool, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are also tracking the talented defender.
Geertruida is entering the final year of his contract with Feyenoord, which is set to expire next June.
This contract situation makes it likely that he will leave the Dutch club this summer, as Feyenoord would prefer to sell him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next year.
The 23-year-old defender has been a key player for Feyenoord, starting every Eredivisie game this season.
He has made 34 appearances, contributing eight goals and five assists from the backline, showcasing his ability to impact both defensive and offensive play.
His versatility and consistent performance make him an ideal candidate to strengthen Spurs’ defence for the upcoming season.
His ability to play right-back as well as centre-back and defensive midfielder makes him an ideal Ange Postecoglou player who prefers versatile players in his team.
