Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk.

The Netherlands defender has done quite well for Leeds United, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. They could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and Struijk would be a quality addition.

Leeds to sell Pascal Struijk?

According to Leeds United News, the Whites might need to sell players in order to comply with the PSR. The departure of the 26-year-old defender will certainly come as a blow for the club, but they might need to take a difficult decision because of financial reasons.

Struijk has extensive experience in English football, and he could settle in quickly and make an instant impact. Spurs need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. It remains to be seen whether Leeds are prepared to sell the player. Daniel Farke has previously described him as a “crucial” player for the club.

The opportunity to move to Tottenham will be exciting for the 26-year-old defender. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to play in the UEFA Champions League with them. Tottenham have started the season well, and they have an exciting team. They have brought in a quality manager like Thomas Frank as well. Any player will be attracted to the idea of joining them.

The North London outfit have recently won the UEFA Europa League, and they will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the coming months. Adding more depth and quality to the squad would be a wise decision. Signing a defender who has shown his quality in English football could prove to be the ideal move for the London club.
