Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old has done quite well for the Italian club, and he could be an interesting option for the outfit. Players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven could be on their way out of the club, and Tottenham will need to replace them properly. Signing the Bosnian defender could be a wise decision.
Tarik Muharemovic would be a superb addition
He has shown his quality in Italy, and he has the physicality to thrive in English football as well. He could help him tighten up defensively. This has been a disappointing season for the North London club, and they have been quite poor at the back. They need to improve defensively if they want to return to the UEFA Champions League and do well in the domestic competitions.
Muharemovic is a young player with a lot of potential, and Tottenham could groom him into a future star. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for the 23-year-old defender as well.
Tottenham have conceded 55 goals in 36 Premier League matches this season. It is an area of the pitch that needs significant improvement. Apart from a central defender, they should also invest in a reliable defensive midfielder.
Can Spurs sign Muharemovic?
The player could cost around €30 million (h/t CaughtOffside), and Tottenham has the financial muscle to get the deal done. Muharemovic has the quality to justify the investment in future, and he could prove to be a bargain.
There have been rumours that the CEO of the Italian club recently travelled to London for transfer talks. However, there is no clarity on whether he held talks with Tottenham or another London club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
