Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want two Premier League loanees: Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans and Cardiff’s Victor Camarasa.
With the summer transfer window now coming sharply into view, it is becoming apparent where Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen.
It is no secret that Spurs need a striker, while they have been linked with a wide array of left-backs. But reports emerging this week suggest that a skilful midfield schemer is also on Mauricio Pochettino’s wish list.
According to Het Laaste Nieuws, Tottenham are interested in signing the £40 million Belgian international Youri Tielemans with the Monaco playmaker enjoying a superb loan spell at Leicester City.
Another Premier League loanee, Cardiff City’s Victor Camarasa, is also on their radar with Marca claiming that parent club Real Betis are ready to accept offers of £12.8 million.
This could be a timely reality check, then, for an out of sorts Dele Alli.
The 22-year-old has been a shadow of his former self since returning from the World Cup with niggling injuries contributing to what has probably been his most disappointing season in North London.
In total, Alli has scored just seven goals this season – half his tally from 2017/18 and down from 22 the season before. Absolutely no one should be writing off a player with 35 England caps already but it’s clear that Alli just isn’t himself right now.
And if Camarasa or Tielemans arrives, Alli could find his place in the starting XI under threat for the first time.
