Alasdair Gold has confirmed on his Youtube channel that he fully expects Tottenham Hotspur to make a bid for Joachim Andersen this summer.
Multiple sources have suggested that Tottenham are interest in the Lyon defender, who has spent the season on loan at Fulham.
And Gold believes that the £25 million-rated player (Telegraph) is one who is right at the top of the Tottenham wishlist.
He now expects Daniel Levy to submit an offer, although whether he can get a deal over the line will depend on Lyon.
“Joachim Andersen has been up again in the press,” Gold said.
“I can definitely say that’s a player Spurs are interested in. He’s a player who ticks all of their boxes for the centre-back type they are looking for in the summer. He’s a leader. He is 25 and has Premier League experience. Those are three boxes Spurs really want to tick.
“It depends what Lyon want for him. But I think Spurs will make a move, they will have a go. He’s one of a few they like and he ticks all the boxes.”
Andersen’s price tag will have increased due to his performances for Fulham this season.
The Dane has caught the eye, despite being part of a struggling side.
Tottenham’s need for central defenders has been clear throughout the season so far, with Jose Mourinho failing to find a particularly reliable pairing.
And it seems that tightening up the backline will be Tottenham’s first priority this summer.
