# Tottenham: Lilywhites ‘express interest’ in Joakim Maehle

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/) are interested in Atalanta wing-back Joakim Maehle, according to Danish outlet Tipsbladet (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-expressed-interest-in-player-transfer-not-ruled-out-if-club-receives-at-least-e20m-fee/)).**

### The lowdown

Atalanta signed Maehle from Belgian outfit Genk as recently as January 2021, committing him to a [four-and-a-half year contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joakim-maehle/profil/spieler/369674).

But the 25-year-old was in and out of the side last season, [starting only 15 out of a possible 38](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joakim-maehle/leistungsdaten/spieler/369674) league games.

Spurs have already signed a wing-back for their system in Ivan Perisic, but Evening Standard journalist Dan Kilpatrick says [they could yet add another](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/ivan-perisic-tottenham-daniel-levy-antonio-conte-transfer-premier-league-2022-b1003195.html).

### The latest

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a ‘possible destination’ for Maehle after the Lilywhites ‘expressed an interest’, [says the report](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-expressed-interest-in-player-transfer-not-ruled-out-if-club-receives-at-least-e20m-fee/).

His chances of leaving Bergamo are put at around 30 per cent, but the report does stress that a sale ‘cannot be ruled out’ if Spurs stump up between €20million and €26.7million (£17.2million-£23million).

### The verdict

Maehle may be familiar to English audiences after impressing at last summer’s European Championships.

He scored in a 4-1 win over Russia in the final round of group fixtures to help Denmark reach the knockout phase.

And he was on target again in a 4-o rout of Wales in the Round of 16, before providing an assist in a 2-1 quarterfinal win over the Czech Republic to set up a semifinal meeting with England.

And Zach Lowy labelled the ‘[delectable trivela cross](https://twitter.com/ZachLowy/status/1411365694290251778)‘ for Kasper Dolberg ‘the assist of the tournament’.

Based on these showings, he could be an excellent addition.
