Tottenham could sign Angel Correa.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to be offered the chance to sign Angel Correa, report Sky Sports.
Spurs are negotiating with Atletico over the departure of Kieran Trippier.
Here is a look at three reasons why Tottenham should take up the opportunity…
Versatility and experience
Once regarded as a wonderkid, Correa’s star has waned. Last year he started only 20 games and scored three goals. Tottenham need to think positive.
This is a player who is still only 24 and has amassed 167 appearances playing under Diego Simeone, playing at the highest level in La Liga and the Champions League.
Tottenham have reportedly been looking at a winger to sign along with Jack Clarke and Correa can fit the bill. The defensive drilling he has learned under Simeone can help Tottenham’s right-back get forward too, which could really help if they go with young gun Kyle Walker-Peters.
Pochettino
Correa has the raw tools and grounding from his career so far. Now, working under Mauricio Pochettino he could reach the next level.
Pochettino may be able to tap into his fellow Argentine in a different way to Simeone and help him reach the top.
He has the talent that Pochettino may be able to develop and help him add consistency to his game.
Keep Lamela on his toes
Lets face it, Erik Lamela is pushing his luck at Tottenham, failing to really kick on and struggling with injuries.
Correa may be an ideal replacement for his compatriot, and allow Spurs to move Lamela on without weakening their squad.
At the same time if Correa causes Lamela to raise his game due to the competition, this is a good problem for Tottenham to have.
