Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly already looking at midfield options ahead of the summer transfer window.

Injuries have plagued our midfield this season, but slowly, Ange Postecoglou has seen his players return to the fold.

However, this is seemingly not going to stop Spurs from adding to their options in the summer with interest in Teun Koopmeiners.

Tottenham eyeing Teun Koopmeiners swoop

According to a report from Tuttosport, we are one of the clubs who are showing early interest in the Dutch midfielder ahead of the summer market.

The article claims Spurs have ‘already knocked’ concerning the Atalanta midfielder with Manchester United also in the picture.

It even claims Erik ten Hag is said to be a ‘huge admirer’ of his compatriot, but interest is also coming from inside Serie A with Juventus.

Koopmeiners, however, is not a player who will be available for cheap in the summer. It is claimed Atalanta will be looking for around €60m (£51m).

Summer movement in midfield

The January window saw a lot of speculation surrounding potential arrivals and departures in our midfield department.

It was suggested Spurs were showing a lot of interest in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher and looked into the possibility of making a deal happen.

On the other hand, there was also suggestions Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could have left the club with clubs like Juventus said to be interested in his services.

But in Koopmeiners, Spurs could get themselves a midfielder who has been described as ‘complete‘ by former Dutch player Ruud Krol.

There have been some strong performances in our midfield this season from the likes of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, but signing Koopmeiners would be a big statement of intent.

And with Champions League football potentially on the menu, strength in depth is exactly what we will need for next season.
