According to Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazetesi, Tottenham Hotspur have made a sensational €19 million bid for Danish defensive sensation Victor Nelsson.
In a bold move aimed at fortifying their defensive lineup, Tottenham Hotspur has set its sights on the highly talented Victor Nelsson, an emerging center-back currently excelling at Galatasaray.
The North London club have tabled an audacious €19 million bid, signaling their determination to secure the services of the Danish prodigy. Nelsson’s exceptional performances during Galatasaray’s triumphant league-winning campaign have garnered significant attention, with top clubs vying for his signature.
Eager for a new challenge and yearning to depart from his current club, the 24-year-old Danish star is keen on embracing fresh opportunities. While Galatasaray is open to the idea of parting ways with Nelsson, they naturally seek a substantial sum in return for their prized asset.
With a €25 million release clause stipulated in his contract, Nelsson has attracted the interest of several English clubs, including Tottenham’s fierce rivals, Arsenal.
Despite the absence of European football in the upcoming season, the allure of playing in the world’s most prestigious league and the vibrant city of London may prove irresistible to Nelsson.
While Tottenham’s bid of €19 million falls short of Galatasaray’s valuation, it is a good place to start off. Negotiations between the two clubs are underway, with Tottenham eagerly seeking a mutually agreeable resolution.
Should the deal materialize, Nelsson’s arrival at Tottenham would undoubtedly bolster their defensive capabilities. His authoritative presence and astute reading of the game would provide a much-needed boost to their backline, significantly strengthening their prospects of success in the forthcoming season.
Nelsson isn’t the only defensive name linked to Tottenham. Roger Ibanez is another name that is constantly linked to the club and it shows that Tottenham know where they want reinforce this season.
Ange Postecoglou has been appointed as the new manager at the club. He is a very smart coach and obviously he will know that sorting out Tottenham will have to start with the defence.
Nelsson has shown a lot of promise during his time in Turkey but it remains to be seen if the step up to the Premier League might be too much to take. Let’s see how this transfer saga pans out.
