Deals for French and Argentine aces would make Tottenham PL title contenders

Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with a host of names in the transfer window.

The Champions League finalists haven’t signed anyone since Lucas Moura back in January 2018, but the north Londoners are widely expected to get busy this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino will reportedly be backed by chairman Daniel Levy, in the hope that Spurs can close the gap between themselves and Manchester City and Liverpool.

The latest on the transfer front is that Spurs have apparently bid £53 million for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso (BBC Sport).

The Argentine ace has enjoyed a terrific season in La Liga and recently made his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain permanent.

Spurs are also said to be very keen on Tanguy Ndombele of Lyon, with L’Equipe having reported the club have already offered a provisional contract.

TBR’s view

If Spurs can land both of these players then they will boast one of the Premier League’s most dangerous midfields next term.

Ndombele would be a brilliant replacement for the departed Mousa Dembele, while Lo Celso would bring superb technical qualities in a slightly more advanced role.

Together, they could take Tottenham to the next level.

Arguably they would really complement one another. Spurs have been known to play with a diamond formation under Mauricio Pochettino and the two of them in there would be the envy of many.
