Tottenham Hotspur fans appear keen to see their transfer record broken on Matthijs De Ligt.

Mundo Deportivo suggests that Spurs will be willing to pay £53 million for the Ajax centre-back this summer.

And Tottenham supporters are eager to see the youngster added to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Tottenham’s current transfer record was spent last summer on Davinson Sanchez, who was also brought in from Ajax.

Spurs could pair Sanchez with De Ligt next term, as they look to bolster their defensive options.

Tottenham have had one of the best defences in the Premier League over recent campaigns, but it looks likely that they will lose a key component of their backline in the shape of Toby Alderweireld this summer.

If De Ligt does come in to replace Alderweireld then the pressure will be on him from the start at Spurs.

De Ligt is only 18, but he already has experience of playing regular football at both club and international level with Holland.
