Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Real Madrid’s Dani Ceballos.
According to El Desmarque, Tottenham Hotspur are now the main contender in the race to sign Real Madrid playmaker Dani Ceballos this summer.
Spurs are expected to make moves in the transfer market this summer, and at least on new midfielder will be wanted in order to bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Andre Gomes, Youri Tielemans, Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso are just a handful of names suggested, and a new one can be added to the list tonight.
El Desmarque in Spain report that Tottenham want Real misfit Ceballos, and are now the main contenders for his signature despite interest from elsewhere.
It’s claimed that Spurs would be willing to spend up to €50million (£44million) on Ceballos, which seems excessive for a player Real signed for €17million in 2017 (ESPN).
Ceballos, 22, has struggled to settle with Real since arriving from Real Betis, starting just 13 La Liga games this season whilst really failing to break through since Zinedine Zidane’s return as manager.
The Spanish playmaker – who can play as an eight or as a 10 – is now on the market, and Spurs allegedly hope to bring him to North London to provide some added creativity.
The rumour comes just weeks after The Mirror claimed that West Ham United want Ceballos, and seeing him sign for rivals Spurs instead would be a bitter pill to swallow for the Hammers.
