Tottenham, Spurs, Premier League, Antonio Conte, Morten Hjulmand
Tottenham employees have been left ‘enchanted’ by Lecce midfielder Morten Hjulmand as Spurs are named as one of the sides ‘interested’ in his signing.
The Lowdown: Spurs make summer plans…
Spurs have reportedly been planning for the summer transfer window in recent weeks as recent claims suggest both a central defender and winger will be high on the agenda.
The Lilywhites are currently chasing a top four Premier League finish but must also look beyond the 2022/2023 campaign.
Antonio Conte‘s side have also been linked to signing a central midfielder with reports from Italy now suggesting they’re blown away by a new name.
The Latest: Tottenham staff ‘enchanted’ by Hjulmand…
According to Calciomercato, Spurs staff in the form of their scouting department have been left ‘enchanted’ by Denmark international Hjulmand.
The north Londoners, alongside Roma, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund, have been named as one of the sides ‘interested’ in the 23-year-old.
Going by this report, it appears the club, and by extension sporting director Fabio Paratici, are eyeing a new target.
The Verdict: Lecce’s colossus…
Hjulmand has stood out as one of Lecce’s colossal stars over this Serie A season.
As per WhoScored, the box-to-box ace is one of their most-selected players domestically with only three Lecce players featuring over more top flight minutes.
Hjulmand also sits second in terms of highest match rating per 90 in their squad whilst also accumulating more tackles and interceptions per game than any Lecce player (WhoScored).
The 6 foot 1 colossus can also contribute effectively going forward, having registered four assists and Lecce’s third-highest rate of key passes (WhoScored).
Winning more Man of the Match awards than any of his teammates this campaign, Hjulmand stands out as a big fish in a small pond, leaving little surprise Spurs are taking notice.
