# Tottenham Hotspur: Daniel Levy set for Joachim Andersen talks

**According to a report by the [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1424177/Tottenham-transfer-news-Joachim-Andersen-meeting-Man-Utd-Fulham), Tottenham Hotspur have ‘[made their move](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1424177/Tottenham-transfer-news-Joachim-Andersen-meeting-Man-Utd-Fulham)‘ to win the race for highly rated defender Joachim Andersen as Daniel Levy schedules talks with the player’s representatives.**

### Tottenham set for Andersen talks

As per this significant update, the Spurs chairman is apparently set to sit down with Andersen’s agents in the ‘[next few weeks](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1424177/Tottenham-transfer-news-Joachim-Andersen-meeting-Man-Utd-Fulham)‘ to discuss a possible transfer to Tottenham this summer.

The towering Danish colossus has apparently ‘[made his way onto Spurs’ summer shortlist](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1424177/Tottenham-transfer-news-Joachim-Andersen-meeting-Man-Utd-Fulham)‘, with reliable correspondent Alasdair Gold first reporting that he has[attracted attention](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1377240096039084032?lang=en) from the Lilywhites.

The [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1424177/Tottenham-transfer-news-Joachim-Andersen-meeting-Man-Utd-Fulham) have now claimed that Levy is apparently set to meet with Andersen’s representatives imminently and that Tottenham have ‘made their move’ to win the race for his signature.

### Transfer Tavern take

The 6 foot 3 ([1.92m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joachim-andersen/profil/spieler/260827)) sensation has impressed under Fulham manager Scott Parker this season on loan from Lyon, starting 26 Premier League matches and averaging the joint-fifth most clearances per game in the entire division ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/8228/Stages/18685/PlayerStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021)).

Compared to Tottenham’s squad, [only Joe Rodon](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham) has averaged more interceptions per game than the Dane’s [1.3](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/231135/Show/Joachim-Andersen), while he is also [beaten in fewer dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/231135/Show/Joachim-Andersen) per match than Spurs centre-backs [Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham).

These exploits are arguably incentive to consider Andersen as a top target, with Cottagers legend Tony Gale describing him as ‘absolutely sensational’ ([fulhamfc.com](https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2021/march/The-Tony-Gale-Column/)).

Gold first explained that Spurs are chasing a ‘[leader](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1377240096039084032?lang=en)‘ who can marshal their shaky backline, and Andersen definitely seems to fit the bill as Levy schedules transfer talks.
