The Tottenham defender has been linked with a move away from the club.

The January transfer window is drawing ever closer and Tottenham Hotspur may well be fearful of losing another of their key players, with Danny Rose being linked with a move away from the club.

Rose is the subject of interest from Manchester United, who are preparing to make a bid for the left-back in January, as reported by The Sun.

Losing Rose, who is still working his way towards full sharpness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a medial knee ligament, would undoubtedly be a major blow for Tottenham, but the signs suggest that Mauricio Pochettino’s side would be able to deal with his departure.

There is little doubt about Rose’s quality and he was one of the most in form players in the Premier League before injury struck but Tottenham have already dealt with the departure of one England full-back in Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City in the summer.

Walker has enjoyed an excellent start to the season at City but Tottenham have coped well without him, with Kieran Trippier stepping up to produce some fine displays and Serge Aurier also making an impact following his switch from Paris Saint-Germain.

If Rose was to leave then Ben Davies, as he has been so far this season, would become Tottenham’s first-choice option at left wing-back and the Welshman is capable of thriving. Tottenham would certainly have to bring in a back-up defender should Rose leave but they certainly have the resources to cope should he leave.
