Tottenham Hotspur could still complete a late deal for a Premier League title-winning midfielder who John Heitinga is a fan of.
Over the last 24 hours, Spurs have been hit with a blow in their pursuit of Andy Robertson, with Liverpool reportedly blocking the left-back’s switch to N17.
This development has angered some Tottenham fans, who are calling for a protest after being less than impressed with the club’s transfer business this month.
However, Robertson is not the only Liverpool player that the Lilywhites reportedly have their eye on.

The outlet claims that new Tottenham first-team assistant coach, John Heitinga, who was part of Slot’s coaching staff at Liverpool last season, is a big fan of Jones as well as Robertson, and wants both players to be brought to N17.
