Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise summer move for the Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah.
The 22-year-old is expected to leave the Premier League champions this summer, and he has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen as well. The German club are close to securing his services for a fee of around £30 million.
Spurs now keen on Liverpool ace
However, a report from TBR football claims that Tottenham are interested in him as well. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign the player. The opportunity to play in the Premier League regularly will be quite exciting for the defender, and Tottenham could be an attractive destination.
They will be able to offer him Champions League football next season. The young defender is highly rated across Europe, and former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has labelled him as “special” in the past.

Jarell Quansah would be a future asset
The 22-year-old will only improve with coaching and experience. He has the attributes to develop into a reliable Premier League defender. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is extremely good with the ball at his feet. He will add calmness and composure to the Tottenham back line if he joins the club.
Even though he is likely to cost around €40 million, the player has the ability to justify the investment in future. He would be a solid long-term investment for the club.
Tottenham need to act quickly if they want to beat the German club to his signature. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Quansah will be desperate for regular game time. Tottenham will have to provide him with gametime assurance in order to convince him to join the club.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to sell the Premier League-winning defender to a rival club. They will probably prefer if he moved abroad.
