Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Joachim Andersen and there has been a ‘serious enquiry’ made from a Premier League club, the Telegraph report.

Tottenham are on the hunt for a central defender, with Andersen seemingly on their radar now.

The 24-year-old has been on loan at Fulham for the season from Lyon and he has impressed so much that he has even been given the captain’s armband on multiple occasions at Craven Cottage.

The Daily Mail now say that he wants to stay in the Premier League and has already indicated that to his club.

The Telegraph do suggest that Tottenham may not have a clear run to sign him though, as Manchester United have also taken note of his talents.

Lyon are looking for a deal worth £25 million for the central defender, which should put him in Tottenham’s price range.

Spurs are not flushed with cash, but at that fee, he would surely be an appealing target.

Tottenham have failed to find a reliable central defensive pairing this term.

But Andersen has been rock solid, despite Fulham’s struggles this season, and he could be more dependable for Jose Mourinho’s side than most their current options.
