Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing up a potential move for the Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have already been linked with a number of midfielders ahead of the summer window.

And it seems the Lilywhites are now looking at the brother of the current Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber as an option.

Tottenham interested in Quinten Timber

According to transfer guru Graeme Bailey of HITC Football, the 22-year-old could potentially join his brother in the Premier League next season.

Bailey claims Tottenham are paying close attention to the midfielder’s progress in the Eredivisie.

A number of other Premier League sides are also said to be keen on him with Arsenal having watched him for a long time now.

And Newcastle United are another club who have been credited with an interest in the Dutchman.

Tottenham eyeing midfielder boost

The future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg looks to be away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for next season.

In recent days, the Dane has joined an Italian agency with the prospect of a potential departure from N17.

Looking ahead to the summer, Spurs have already been linked with a host of potential midfield targets.

One of the most prominent names which has featured is that of the Chelsea and England star, Conor Gallagher.

His contract situation continues to bubble away at Stamford Bridge, but it is said the player is keen to remain at his boyhood club.

Although he has not been of huge influence under Postecoglou, Hojbjerg would still be a significant loss in the dressing room.

This is still a player of great experience and would need replacing adequately.

It seems Spurs are building for the long-term and bringing in a 22-year-old midfielder would fit in well with what Postecoglou is building in N17.

After all, Timber has already has Mikel Arteta’s approval with the Arsenal boss calling him and his brother ‘extraordinary‘ just a few months ago.
