Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Transfer Tavern are passing the time until this afternoon’s crucial North London derby by discussing the latest transfer rumours, which suggest a sensational deal could be on the cards.
Manchester City continue to be linked with the services of Kyle Walker this summer, with Citizens boss Pep Guardiola making the England international one of his top priorities ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Naturally, Spurs are not keen to offload the right-back who’s widely considered to be the best in his division in the Premier League and The Sun reports Mauricio Pochettino’s side have placed a hefty asking-price of £50m over the head of the defender.
Spurs owner Daniel Levy is widely recognised as a shrewd negotiator and would only approve a sale if Spurs receive tangible financial benefits in return, although Guardiola is confident of sealing a summer deal.
Walker’s future at White Hart Lane has come under further scrutiny in recent weeks after the defender held crunch-talks with Pochettino and our landlord believes a sale will go ahead this summer, as £50m is more than enough to bring in a top-class replacement.
Who should Tottenham target if they get £50m for Walker? Let us know in the comments below!
