Tottenham Hotspur made a shock enquiry for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in the January transfer window.

Ange Postecoglou was able to bring in one new centre-back over the winter market with the addition of Radu Dragusin.

But it appears the Lilywhites looked a little closer to home in their pursuit of bolstering their defence.

Tottenham interested in Joe Gomez

Adding to their defensive options was a big target for Tottenham in January as they battled to beat Bayern Munich and Napoli to the signing of Dragusin.

And according to the Daily Mail, they also sent an enquiry within the Premier League to Liverpool over the availability of Gomez.

The 26-year-old defender has been an important player for Jurgen Klopp this season having racked up 37 appearances across all competitions.

It is said his versatility is something which those at Spurs were keen on having offloaded Eric Dier to Bayern Munich.

Tottenham’s defensive search

Ahead of the summer window, The Spurs News has been told Tottenham are looking to add a versatile full-back to their squad.

And they do not come much more versatile than Liverpool’s Gomez.

The Englishman has now played across four different positions this season, including all three positions in defence and even as a defensive midfielder.

Although he is yet to find the back of the net in his 210 appearances. for the club, he has earned the trust of Klopp in that Liverpool backline.

The Spurs News has also been told that Tottenham are keeping an eye out also for a new centre-back over the coming months.

Although there have been some free agent names linked with the club, Gomez is a player who could cover numerous positions for Postecoglou.

Steve McManaman has hailed the defender as ‘priceless‘, however, with Klopp’s departure set for the summer, it will be interesting to see whether this has an effect on the likes of Gomez.
