This season has demonstrated that Tottenham is making progress in their efforts to establish themselves as a prominent force in the Premier League. The upcoming summer transfer window holds great significance for the North London club. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have become one of the most captivating teams in England, currently occupying the fourth position in the Premier League standings.
Looking ahead to next season, Tottenham aims to climb higher in the league table. Football Insider reports that the club will not face any financial constraints during the summer transfer window. Johan Lange, the newly appointed technical director, has been actively pursuing the acquisition of talented young players from across Europe. According to the report, Tottenham may set their sights on one of the standout defenders in the Premier League this season.
Jarrad Branthwaite, currently playing for Everton, is a highly sought-after target for Manchester United this summer. However, the report suggests that Tottenham could challenge the Manchester club in their pursuit of the defender. Everton is facing significant financial difficulties and may be compelled to sell Branthwaite in order to alleviate some of the pressure on the club. Consequently, they have placed a price tag of £100m on the center-back.
Branthwaite has played a crucial role for Sean Dyche’s team this season and recently signed a contract extension with Everton until 2027, renewing his commitment to Goodison Park in October 2023. Everton will likely use this contract extension as justification for the hefty fee. Nevertheless, if Spurs manage to secure the services of the 21-year-old defender this summer, they could pose a genuine threat throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
