Tottenham are preparing to accelerate their late-window business, with reports suggesting the club wants to push through a deal this week after making a promise to new boss Thomas Frank.
Tottenham Hotspur’s backline has looked composed in the opening two matches of the season, with the North London club boasting consecutive clean sheets.
At the centre of those strong showings have been Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, while Djed Spence and Pedro Porro have provided energy and width down the flanks.
However, Spurs may soon face a test of their defensive depth, with Luka Vuskovic attracting interest from Bundesliga side Hamburg, who are exploring the possibility of a loan move for the highly rated youngster.
