IMPRESSIVE: Tottenham Hotspur has been linked a super who won Ballon d’Or award
Micky van de Ven’s hamstring injury leaves North London with a need for a defender in January, while Eric Dier may exit mid-season.
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly are reportedly being linked with Tottenham, with Tom Barclay suggesting that the North Londoners are more likely to sign Kelly than Guehi.
Guehi is expected to be a costly acquisition, while the Bournemouth defender is a more realistic target.
The Tottenham Way Podcast suggests that the club is considering a move for a centre-back, with suggestions of Marc Guehi. However, Barclay believes Lloyd Kelly at Bournemouth, who can also play as a left-back, makes more sense. The 23-year-old Crystal Palace star is a reliable Premier League defender and would like to join a big club soon. He has proven himself in the Premier League with the Cherries and would improve Tottenham defensively. The opportunity to join Tottenham is attractive but unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. The club will need to strengthen other areas of their squad, and Kelly could be a more reasonable acquisition. The versatile Bournemouth defender could be available for around £25-30 million.
