Goal claim Tottenham are to pursue a deal for Villarreal left-back Pervis Estupinan after deals for Clement Lenglet and Richarlison – with the report stating Spurs are ready to pay a figure of £13million to land the Ecuadorian.

Spurs are closing in on a £65million deal for Richarlison. Fabrizio Romano reported late on Wednesday night that there is a ‘full agreement’ between the player and Spurs. A long-term contract is agreed, and talks scheduled between clubs.

Meanwhile, Gianluca Di Marzio says Lenglet has signed for Tottenham on loan for the 2022-23 campaign. It sees Spurs bring in an attacker and a left-sided centre-back, two of Antonio Conte’s transfer demands this summer.

The deals are likely to take Tottenham’s spending to nearly £100million – after free transfers for Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster, as well as the £30million signing of Yves Bissouma. Now, 24-year-old Estupinan could be number six.

Goal say Tottenham would like to sign Estupinan despite the arrival of veteran Perisic – and the presence of both Sergio Reguilon and Ryan Sessegnon. The report states Spurs would like to sign the ex-Watford man for £13million.

Tottenham pursue £13million Estupinan deal

A regular for Villarreal under Unai Emery, Estupinan has established himself as a left-back with Champions League quality during 2021-22. He started seven of Villarreal’s 12 Champions League games last season.

That included all but one of Villarreal’s six knockout games – starting both semi-finals against Liverpool. He has a contract with the La Liga side until 2027 – so a fee of £13million seems incredibly cheap. A potential bargain for Spurs.
