Tottenham eyeing 26-year-old defender who's just kept 6 clean sheets in a row

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly rekindled their interest in Gleison Bremer ahead of the January transfer window.

According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Spurs “remain on the lookout” with regards to the Juventus defender.

As well as Tottenham, the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen on Bremer, who has been impressing for the Serie A giants.

Spurs have found themselves in a defensive crisis which highlights the lack of strength in depth in their ranks.

Micky van de Ven suffered a hamstring problem in Monday night’s loss to Chelsea, and Cristian Romero is suspended.

With that in mind, Tottenham may well look to bolster their ranks in January in hope of maintaining their momentum towards a top-four finish.

Meanwhile, Bremer has been going from strength to strength at Juve, making an even bigger name for himself.

His efforts have helped the Bianconeri keep six consecutive clean sheets in Serie A, and eight in total this term.

Il Bianconero reported in summer that Juve have placed a €80million (£69million) price tag on the Brazilian.

‘Comparable to Virgil van Dijk’

In 2022, Bremer was the Serie A Defender of the Year, and last term, he made it into their Team of the Season.

Last summer, scouting outlet Foot The Ball noted how Bremer’s numbers were ‘comparable to Virgil van Dijk and Ruben Dias’.

He’s an elite presser of the ball, is great at recovery, interceptions and aerial duels, and is threatening at the other end of the pitch too.

FTB added that Bremer is ‘a true Serie A defender. He can tackle, intercept, and clear the ball without any fuss.’

In terms of Tottenham connections, Bremer is part of the same agency that also counts five Tottenham first-teamers as their clients.

Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Richarlison, Pedro Porro and Pape Matar Sarr are with CAA Base alongside the “incredible” defender.
