Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson and have been told by the Turkish club what it would take to sign the Danish defender in the summer transfer window.

According to Fanatik, and further backed by Sabah, Spurs are really interested in the defender, but Galatasary are demanding €25 million (£21.45 million).

However, the inclusion of Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez could change things and open up an avenue that Tottenham could explore to strike a deal, according to the same report.

Galatasary met Tottenham officials last week, according to Sabah, with both Nelsson and Sanchez on the agenda.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is reportedly to be keen on bringing in a new centre-back this summer, according to The Guardian, with Micky van de Ven of Wolfsburg a key target.

The Australian manager’s Tottenham rebuild looks to be taking shape with the signings of James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario and Manor Solomon already completed this summer.

Potential Victor Nelsson – Davinson Sanchez swap deal

According to the same reports from Turkey, Galatasary are holding firm on their valuation of the Danish defender but could lower that price if Sanchez was included in the deal.

The Turkish side would accept €15 million (£12.87 million) plus the Colombian defender to sanction the sale of the 24-year-old defender.

Whether Tottenham would agree to those demands remain to be seen.

The Danish defender has been earning rave reviews in Turkey, and a move to Spurs could be key for the next stage of the North London club’s rebuild.

Cristian Romero is set to be a guaranteed starter for Spurs next season, but the question remains on who will line up next to the Argentinian World Cup winner.

Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez have made their fair share of mistakes over the past season or two, and the hope will be if Spurs can pull off the signing of the 24-year-old, then they will finally have a more reliable partner for Romero.
