# Tottenham Hotspur: Personal terms agreed with Takehiro Tomiyasu

**Tottenham Hotspur have edged towards completing their first summer signing, after agreeing personal terms with Bologna full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu \[[Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/07/05/calciomercato-bologna-tomiyasu-tottenham-premier/) via [The Boot Room](https://tbrfootball.com/report-takehiro-tomiyasu-has-agreed-tottenham-personal-terms/)\].**

### The Lowdown: Spurs gear up for the 2021/22 season

Looking ahead to 2021/22, Nuno Espirito Santo will be desperate to acquire high-profile individuals to sculpt a push for UEFA Champions League football this season.

Though they haven’t completed any dealings as of yet, the North Londoners have been heavily linked with moves for [Marcel Sabitzer](https://www.givemesport.com/1716927-tottenham-transfer-news-fresh-update-in-marcel-sabitzer-chase-emerges) and [Conor Coady](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/07/05/tottenham-fans-wolves-conor-coady/).

Significantly, they now look to be veering towards finalising their inaugural transfer recruit of the window following recent reports.

### The Latest: Personal terms agreed; only need to sort out a fee to complete the deal

Spurs are said to have [reached a personal agreement](https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/07/05/calciomercato-bologna-tomiyasu-tottenham-premier/) with 22-year-old Tomiyasu. Barring any last minute hitches, the deal is expected is expected to go through.

In the current moment, Tottenham have offered around £15.4 million whilst the Serie A outfit value the Japan internationalist at closer to £17.1 million \[[The Boot Room](https://tbrfootball.com/report-takehiro-tomiyasu-has-agreed-tottenham-personal-terms/)\], but all indications are these difference will soon be ironed out.

[Newcastle United](https://www.geordiebootboys.com/transfers/newcastle-transfer-news-takehiro-tomiyasu-now-on-tottenhams-radar/) and [Manchester United](https://tbrfootball.com/report-manchester-united-consider-tottenham-target-takehiro-tomiyasu/) formerly held an interest in his services, but it looks as if though the Lilywhites will win the race.

### The Verdict: Huge relief for Spurs

In need of defensive reinforcements, this news will come as an enormous relief to the Tottenham Hotspur hierarchy after a summer of turmoil so far.

Capable of playing at right-back or centre-half, the Japanese stopper has excelled within the Italian top-flight. In 2020/21, he made 33 appearances for his current employers, notching two goals \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/takehiro-tomiyasu/leistungsdaten/spieler/331560/plus/0?saison=2020)\].

Encouragingly, his propensity to anticipate danger rather than react to it will make him an attractive proposition to newly appointed boss Nuno.

Across the 2020/21 campaign, he made an average of 3.3 clearances and 1.7 interceptions per game. \[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/377283/Show/Takehiro-Tomiyasu)\].

Showing an impressive level of consistency whilst having plenty of room to develop, Tottenham should look to ratify the transfer as swiftly as possible.
