Levy not messing around: Spurs have made early summer approach for 6’5 goalscoring centre-back

As Tottenham Hotspur’s season is getting off to a good start, Daniel Levy is already thinking forward to the summer and has shown interest in a young defender who is making waves for a prominent European team.

Spurs keep aiming for Europe

Even if the initial rumors of a championship challenge have since died down, Ange Postecoglou’s team has recovered calm in recent weeks as their severe injury crisis has lessened, allowing them to go on with a successful first season led by the Australian.

After beating Brentford and Brighton recently, the North London team is currently three points ahead of sixth place and just five points shy of the coveted Champions League spots. These wins might prove crucial at the conclusion of the season. With a match left against their competitors, Spurs will probably finish in the top four in May, which is a significant improvement from their unsatisfactory eighth-place result from the previous year.

Even though Spurs’ success has clearly improved under their new manager, there have been some worries this season. Postecoglou’s focus on a high defensive line naturally leaves his back players to cover a lot of territory with significantly more intense sprints than the typical center-back in England’s premier league.

Spurs, who now have the most goals scored in the top six, will need to strengthen their defense if they are to contend for the championship in the future. This is especially true given the caliber of players that can play behind first-choice duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. Competitors With 10 clean sheets, twice Spurs’ total, Arsenal leads the league in this category.

Given this, it seems sense that Levy has already had his eye on one of the most promising young defenders in Europe.

Spurs’ strategy was to target a goal-scoring defender

According to sources from the Italian capital, as translated by Sport Witness, Spurs are keeping an eye on Roma defender Dean Huijsen, who is currently on loan from Juventus, for the summer. According to the source, a number of elite European teams are reportedly interested in the 18-year-old, including the London club. Atletico Madrid, PSG, and Premier League rivals Manchester United are among the interested parties; however, only the two English teams have made an offer.

Spurs seem to be in the lead despite the possible competition for the teenager’s contract, as reports earlier this month suggested that Levy was prepared to offer €30 million (£26 million) to get the center back’s services. Although his current contract expires in 2028, it is said that Juventus would be willing to trade the talent for a competitive price.

Huijsen has only played in eight premier league games for Roma, but he has had a significant influence. Even the most inactive spectator is drawn in by his goal-scoring skill, given his impressive height of 6 feet 5 inches.

Huijsen’s stellar record in both youth and professional football is further enhanced by his two league goals this season. In the Juventus youth system, the young player averages a goal per four games, demonstrating his exceptional potential for his age.

There wouldn’t be many players more captivating than Huijsen, especially with the Postecoglou initiative seeking to infuse the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with much-needed enthusiasm.
