Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old central defender has done well in Italian football, and he could cost €30 million in the summer (h/t CaughtOffside). The asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could justify the investment in the near future. Tottenham have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer to sign the player.
Spurs could use Tarik Muharemovic
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have been linked with moves away from the north London club at the end of the season. They will need to replace the two players properly if they decide to move on. Investing in quality central defenders should be a priority for them.
Tottenham has been quite vulnerable at the back this season, and they need to improve in that area if they want to fight for trophies next season.
Muharemovic has the quality to improve Spurs
Muharemovic has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in English football, and he could thrive in the Premier League. Regular football at Tottenham could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential. He has been described as a ‘physically solid’ player with ‘good technical ability’.
The €30 million investment could look like a bargain. If the 23-year-old central defender manages to adapt to English football quickly. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he has all the attributes to develop into a future star for the north London club.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are monitoring his situation as well. They are pushing for Champions League qualification, and they could be an attractive destination for the defender.
