Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning a move for an 18-year-old centre-back who could cost around £43.8m, as they look to strengthen their defence and potentially partner him with Luka Vuskovic. The positive update for Spurs is that Vuskovic has confirmed he intends to stay with the club next season, and fans will be hoping he is ready to step up after impressing in the Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, another highly rated teenager also developing in Germany has attracted Tottenham’s attention. With both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven linked with possible departures, Spurs may be preparing for a defensive rebuild in the summer window.
Reports suggest Tottenham have joined the race to sign Werder Bremen defender Karim Coulibaly, who has enjoyed a breakout season, making 22 league appearances and showing strong maturity at just 18 years old. He is believed to be open to leaving Bremen this summer, and Spurs have added him to their shortlist ahead of the upcoming transfer window under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
However, Tottenham are facing serious competition, with Newcastle United among several clubs interested. According to reports, up to six teams across Europe are monitoring Coulibaly closely, with Newcastle described as one of the most active contenders in the race for the highly rated German youth international.
