Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their squad this summer.

Indeed, after a poor Premier League campaign last time out that cost Ange Postecoglou his job, Tottenham need to add more quality to this squad.

Luckily, help could be on the way, and domestic signings appear to be the order of the day.

Tottenham are interested in Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, while Spurs have been keen on Bryan Mbeumo as of late too.

Tottenham also need defensive additions, and according to Sami Mokbel, speaking on Last Word on Spurs, Tottenham hold an interest in one of the Premier League’s fastest defenders.

Tottenham interested in Antonee Robinson

According to Mokbel, there are strong murmurs that Tottenham are indeed interested in Antonee Robinson.

The Fulham defender has had a stellar season for the Whites, notching 10 Premier League assists.

The BBC journalist says that he’s heard conflicting noises about how strong this interest is, but he says that Spurs are definitely somewhat keen.

“Yeah, I think it depends on who you speak to. I have heard that rumour. I’ve heard it pretty substantially, but if you speak to others, and I’m hedging my bets there. I’ve heard there is an interest in the player from Tottenham,” Mokbel said.

“I’m not sure how advanced it is or if it has the legs to come to fruition. If it’s the basic question of do Tottenham have an interest in Antonee Robinson, the answer to that is yes, whether that has legs, I’m not sure at the moment.”

Antonee Robinson is one of the Premier League’s fastest defenders

If Tottenham sign Robinson, they will be adding another defender to their ranks who has serious speed.

Micky van de Ven is one of the fastest players around, and according to Squawka’s stats, Robinson is actually the second-fastest defender in the Premier League.

Interestingly, Destiny Udogie is also one of the Premier League’s fastest defenders, and he may well be the player who ends up being replaced if Robinson comes to north London.

Spurs do have a rich history of signing players from Fulham from Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey to Ryan Sessegnon, and now, they could be set to pinch another of the Whites’ top stars.
