Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Belgian defender Koni De Winter from Genoa during the summer transfer window.
According to Ben Jacobs, they have already ‘enquired’ regarding a potential move, and the player will cost €25 million. The 23-year-old is a talented young defender with a bright future, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the north London club. He’s a central defender, but he is versatile enough to operate as a full-back as well.
Compared to Premier League legend
The player has previously revealed that he has been compared to Vincent Kompany quite often. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is a technically gifted player who is outstanding with the ball at his feet. He could add a new dimension to the Tottenham defence. Spurs are long-term admirers of the player.
“All my life I have been told I play like Vincent Kompany,” Koni De Winter said to The i Paper.
“I have this ability to make runs with the ball like he did, I have the same technical side.
“It’s a really big name, so I one day hope to be able to live up to him. You look at the other big names (former Belgian Premier League defenders) and it is only right that they ended playing up in the best competitions.”
Koni De Winter to replace Romero?
Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and Tottenham will have to replace him adequately. Signing the talented young Belgian would be a wise decision. At €25 million, he could prove to be a major bargain. He has the potential to justify the outlay.
He will look to establish himself as a player for Tottenham if the transfer goes through. They are one of the biggest clubs in England, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting. They will be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football as well.
