# Tottenham Hotspur: Daichi Kamada transfer links talked up

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) could be set to save £20m in their transfer deal for Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Daichi Kamada.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs targeting Kamada

According to [Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt/eintracht-frankfurt-welche-top-klubs-daichi-kamada-jetzt-auf-der-liste-haben-82183210.bild.html) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-bundesliga-man-target-list-losing-player-will-extremely-bitter-club/)), Spurs have joined other [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs – along with Borussia Dortmund – in the race for Kamada, who recently competed at the World Cup with Japan.

Frankfurt are said to be concerned about the prospect of losing the 26-year-old for nothing next summer, when his [current contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daichi-kamada/profil/spieler/356141) ends, so they are keen to reap a transfer fee for him while they still can.

However, Spurs could now capitalise on this expiring deal, with a view to bringing the attacking midfielder to the club next season…

### The Latest: Spurs could save on Kamada

Tottenham expert John Wenham has now indicated that the club may be drawn to the Japan international, who [scored against them](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur_eintracht-frankfurt/index/spielbericht/3911797) in the Champions League in the autumn, due to his availability on a free pre-contract agreement in January.

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-tottenham-set-to-save-20m-on-daichi-kamada-transfer-after-very-reliable-update/), he said of Kamada: *“Tottenham have had the opportunity to watch him twice this season and he scored against us in one of those Champions League games,”*

*“Clearly we liked what we saw. He’s a bright midfielder, a good age, has lots of experience and he would be coming in on a free. It’s a bit like the links to Marcus Thuram.*

*“It’s a signing I could see Tottenham making in that we get him on a free and save £18m or £20m before he even comes through the door.*

*“I can see us looking at that deal and the story came from BILD who are a very reliable German outlet.* *So that’s one we’ll have to keep an eye on.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

The possibility of the [£26m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daichi-kamada/profil/spieler/356141) gem being available without any monetary cost is a fantastic opportunity for Antonio Conte to strengthen his squad without breaking the bank.

Reporter Karl Matchett has previously lauded the Spurs target as being ‘[excellent](https://twitter.com/karlmatchett/status/1561370598156120065?s=20&t=C4sPHgn7QMDJAcidUWjNxw)‘, and he has been exactly that in the Bundesliga this season, registering [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daichi-kamada/leistungsdaten/spieler/356141) goals and four assists in 13 outings up to this point.

The playmaker also displayed his defensive abilities in Japan’s 2-1 win against Germany at the World Cup, winning [four](https://www.sofascore.com/japan-germany/lUbsvVb) of his five ground duels in that game.

While Conte is already blessed with an array of attacking options, the opportunity to sign a player of Kamada’s calibre on a free transfer cannot be dismissed.
