Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make a huge offer for an Arsenal man, who has found starts hard to come by at the Emirates Stadium this season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, we are now seeing speculation regarding Tottenham’s transfer targets go into hyperdrive.
However, a lot will depend on whether the Lilywhites manage to stay in the Premier League, with reports indicating that Spurs are making two different plans for the summer window, depending on their survival.
It has now emerged that De Zerbi’s men are ready to raid their North London rivals for one of their young starlets. That’s if reports in Spain are to be believed anyway…
Roberto De Zerbi wants to bring Myles Lewis-Skelly to Tottenham
Fichajes have claimed that despite their current predicament in the Premier League, Spurs are devising an ‘ambitious plan for a complete overhaul’ of their squad this summer.
The name at the top of their wishlist is Myles Lewis-Skelly, who is thought to be keen on leaving the Emirates in search of regular game time.
The report claims that De Zerbi believes signing Lewis-Skelly is ‘essential to adding dynamism’ to Tottenham’s attack ahead of his first full season in charge.

The 19-year-old’s ability to play in midfield and at full-back and his tactical maturity perfectly align with the Spurs boss’s requirements.
Spurs ready to demonstrate ambition with huge Lewis-Skelly offer
Fichajes say that Tottenham are ready to make an offer of €70m (£60.6m) for the Arsenal academy graduate in the hope of snatching the player away from their fierce rivals.
Spurs believe the signing of Lewis-Skelly will send a clear message of their ambition at a period of ‘significant institutional uncertainty’.
Interestingly, the outlet claims that the England international ‘would welcome the move’ across North London, with the 19-year-old prioritising moving to a club where he can get regular stars and continue his development.
It is fair to say that this one should be taken with a pinch of salt. Not only would that be a huge fee for Tottenham to pay. Not only would they be signing directly from their biggest rival. Not only is relegation still a firm possibility. Need we go on?
