RB Leipzig defender Lutsharel Geertruida has impressed during his loan spell at Sunderland, and he has attracted the attention of multiple clubs.
According to TEAMtalk, five Premier League clubs are interested in signing the 25-year-old full-back. Tottenham, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace are keeping close tabs on his situation, and they could look to make a move in the summer. The defender will cost around £20 million.
Where will Lutsharel Geertruida end up?
Sunderland have an option to make the move permanent in the summer, and it remains to be seen whether the defender is prepared to join them permanently. The opportunity to join clubs like Tottenham could be more exciting for him. The London club could use more quality and depth in the squad, but signing another right back would be surprising. They already have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal. Signing another left back would make a lot of sense.
Geertruida will fancy a big move
The 25-year-old has impressed in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for bigger clubs like Liverpool or Tottenham. He will want to compete at a high-level and play for a big club. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
The defender is a versatile player who can operate in central defence and in defensive midfield. He could be the ideal utility man for Tottenham if they managed to get the deal done.
The asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality and experience. It remains to be seen whether Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the Dutchman in the coming weeks.
