Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in the big defender.

Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Joachim Andersen has revealed to Ekstra Bladet that he could potentially be interested in joining Spurs this summer.

According to The Independent, Tottenham were plotting a £35 million move for the Sampdoria centre-back last month, though the North Londoners wound up signing nobody.

Spurs might well be in the market for another centre-back this summer amid doubts over Toby Alderweireld’s long-term future with the club, as the Belgian stalls on a new contract.

And Andersen has admitted that he might be willing to join Mauricio Pochettino’s side, if it makes sense for him.

“It’s hard to say [which is my favourite league]. England, Spain or Italy. But it comes mostly to the club, which must have a good plan for me, and it must make sense in the long term,” he told Ekstra Bladet.

“I have to take the right steps at the right times. So I don’t really care if it’s Tottenham, Inter or Atlético Madrid.”

What a good signing this would be for the Lilywhites.

He is undeniably expensive, but the Denmark Under-21 international will only be 23 in May and, at 6’4, is clearly a mountainous figure.

As far as investments go, he could be worth a stupid amount of money in the coming years if Pochettino can work his magic.

And going by these comments, he could be up for joining Tottenham. Question is, will they spend what it takes to get him? Time will tell.
