Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez has been linked with a move away from the Belgian club, and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on him.
According to TBR Football, the North London outfit have been in regular contact regarding the player over the last 12 months, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him.
Spurs could use Joel Ordonez
The report claims that Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is monitoring his situation, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Tottenham could use more depth in the defensive unit, and the 21-year-old would be a quality long-term addition.
Graeme Bailey revealed: “Ordonez is a huge talent, I am told by numerous Premier League clubs that this boy is held in huge regard – he is one of those players that not just shows up analytically but when you watch him, he really is a standout performer.”
The Ecuador International has the quality to succeed in the Premier League, and he could develop into a key player for the North London club with the right guidance. The move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. Regular football in England could accelerate its development.
Meanwhile, Tottenham also needs to tighten up defensively. Signing a talented young player like Ordonez would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can win the race for his signature. The player is reportedly on the radar of multiple clubs.
Ordonez could fancy Spurs move
Convincing him to move to the Premier League should not be too difficult, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can agree on a deal with his club.
Tottenham looked vulnerable at the back last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. They will be competing in the UEFA Champions League and will face top-class, attacking players. Adding more depth to the defensive unit would be a wise decision.
Ordonez would be a long-term acquisition, and they could nurture him into a future star.
