Tottenham enquire about £40m Liverpool player as competition intensifies
Tottenham Hotspur have now set their sights on a highly-rated Liverpool star, who is now thought to be open to an exit from Anfield, but the Lilywhites have to contend with competition from a whole host of clubs across the Premier League and Europe.
It has been well-documented that Tottenham are looking to address their lack of homegrown numbers this summer ahead of their return to the Champions League.
Additionally, it has also been claimed by several sources that strengthening Tottenham’s midfield is one of Thomas Frank’s priorities this summer.
That perhaps explains why the Lilywhites have now allegedly made advances towards a young English midfielder, whose future at Liverpool is thought to be in doubt.
Tottenham have enquired about Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott
It has now been revealed by TBR Football that Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about the availability of Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott.
The versatile attacking midfielder is thought to be keen on an exit from Anfield in search of regular game time, particularly after the arrival of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the report warns that Spurs are not alone in their admiration of the 22-year-old, with nearly half of the Premier League alleged to have asked for information about his availability.
Fulham, Newcastle, Everton, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Brentford and West Ham, are all said to be monitoring Elliot’s situation at the moment.
It is asserted that Arne Slot’s men are open to selling the midfielder this summer but they are demanding more than £40m for his services.
Tottenham fans have already made it clear that they would love to sign Elliott and James McAtee from Liverpool and Manchester City respectively this summer.
RB Leipzig want Elliott and that could work in Tottenham’s favour
TBR Football say that the Liverpool midfielder is also attracting interest from the Bundesliga, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen having shown interest in the youngster.
However, the most serious interest from Germany is coming from RB Leipzig, with the club’s Global Sports Director Jurgen Klopp said to be keen on reuniting with Elliott.
It is asserted that Leipzig view the England Under-21 international as a replacement for Netherlands international Xavi Simons.
That means that Elliott’s proposed move to the Red Bull Arena could work in Tottenham’s favour, as reports indicate that Spurs are one of the clubs leading the race to land Simons.
