Tottenham Hotspur are now eyeing a move for Pervis Estupinan with deals for Clement Lenglet and Richarlison edging closer, according to a report from Goal.

Spurs fans may have more than one signing to celebrate this week. Reports claimed that a loan deal with an option to buy has been agreed with Barcelona for Lenglet.

And Thursday’s breaking news suggested that Richarlison could undergo a medical today. That would mean that Antonio Conte may soon have five signings through the door in this window.

However, they may not be done there. Goal suggests that the next name on their list is Estupinan. Tottenham have been linked with the Ecuador international for a few weeks.

In fact, reports previously claimed that Spurs are the side most likely to sign the 24-year-old. And Goal reports that they hope to pay around £13 million for the full-back.

Tottenham eyeing Estupinan move

Estupinan would be an interesting signing for Tottenham if a deal can be agreed. He is not known for his versatility, with the large majority of his career spent playing on the left of the defence.

He would probably not offer quite as much as Ryan Sessegnon going forward. The former Watford man only provided one assist in La Liga last season.

But he is a very sound defender, not afraid to get stuck in. He also reads the game extremely well. And interestingly, FB Ref lists Marc Cucurella as one of the players similar to Estupinan. The Brighton star, of course, has been linked with Spurs this summer.

His arrival would perhaps say more about how Conte plans to use Ivan Perisic. It is unlikely that wing-back will be the Croatian’s main position if Estupinan arrives.

It would also prove to be an ominous sign for Sergio Reguilon. There has been speculation over the Spaniard. And Estupinan’s arrival would surely push him closer to the exit.
