Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong.
The 27-year-old Dutch international midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Spanish club and a report from Fichajes claims that Tottenham are ‘most insistent’ about signing him. They could look to tempt the Spanish club with an ‘attractive offer’.
Meanwhile, they will face competition from Manchester United as well. It will be interesting to see where the 27-year-old ends up. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well.
It is no secret that Tottenham need midfield reinforcements and De Jong will help them control games better. He will add creativity, technical ability, and flair to the side as well.
He is one of the best midfielders in the Spanish league, and there is no doubt that he has the qualities to thrive in English football as well. Tottenham need more quality in the side in order to match up to the European elite and players like De Jong could take them to another level.
Can Tottenham convince Frenkie De Jong to join?
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham convince the player to join them. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties and they could be tempted to sell the player if a lucrative proposal is presented. However, convincing the player of their ambitions could prove to be tricky.
Tottenham must secure Champions League qualification in order to attract players of his calibre. The Dutch international midfielder will want to compete at the highest level, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. De Jong is likely to cost a lot of money.
Spurs are lacking in depth in the middle of the park, and the need to bring in replacements for Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Barcelona star to join the club in the near future.
