Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the Wolfsburg defender, Konstantinos Koulierakis.
The 21-year-old central defender has done quite well for the German club, and he has attracted the attention of top teams. Clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham have sent Scouts to watch him in action. According to TBR football, Tottenham are hoping to sign the player in January.
Tottenham plan Wolfsburg raid for Koulierakis
They have previously signed Micky van de Ven from the German club. The Netherlands International defender is currently one of the best players at the club, and they will hope that Koulierakis can follow in his footsteps.
The young defender is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. Apart from his qualities defensively, he is quite effective going forward as well. He could develop into a complete player for Tottenham like Van de Ven.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal. The report claims that they have made it a priority to sign a quality defender in January.
Premier League move could tempt Konstantinos Koulierakis
Koulierakis could be tempted to join the North London club in January. It will be an exciting opportunity for him, and he will look to prove his quality in England. However, the German outfit are currently sitting in the mid-table position and they will not want to lose one of their best young prospects. It could be a devastating blow for them, and it could derail their season.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have looked vulnerable defensively at times, and they could use more quality in that area of the pitch. The 21-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. He has the potential to develop into a reliable Premier League defender.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
