In a recent report, journalist Mark Brus stated that Tottenham Hotspur are in the running for Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez this summer. It has been mentioned that Spurs would have to rival Chelsea and Liverpool in the race to sign the Ecuadorian talent in this summer transfer period.
Ordonez’s Solid Campaign In Belgian Football
The 22-year-old enjoyed a solid campaign in the Jupiler Pro League after producing a run of impressive displays at the centre of Club Brugge’s defence. Ordonez scored four goals in 46 matches for the Belgian club last season across all fronts.
The Ecuadorian talent is currently one of the best centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. Therefore, it is no wonder that Spurs are eyeing a move to bring him to North London this off-season.
His current contract at Club Brugge will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Tottenham to sign him in this transfer window.
Will Ordonez Be A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur?
Ordonez loves a tackle and can read the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. The Ecuadorian talent usually puts his foot through the ball when needed and is proficient at playing his way out from the back.
Standing at 1.88m, Ordonez is a strong presence in the air as well. However, it remains to be seen whether he can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League if Spurs manage to snap him up in this summer transfer window.
We can expect Ordonez to inject more bite and steel into Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi’s defence. He is good enough to challenge for a regular starting spot at the North London club in the coming seasons.
At 22, Ordonez has got the ceiling to be a world-class player in his position someday. He is primarily a centre-back but can also function as a right-back if needed. Furthermore, the South American sensation is capable of helping Spurs compete for a European spot in the Premier League over the next few years. Hence, he would be a good choice for Tottenham to pursue later this year as long as they can get him for a reasonable fee.
