Postecoglou has green-lit Tottenham swoop for £50 million ace as Lange drives move – journalist

Tottenham Hotspur, under the leadership of manager Ange Postecoglou, are set for a busy summer transfer window. With a clear focus on strengthening their midfield, the club is actively pursuing several high-profile targets to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.

In recent months, numerous reports have highlighted Tottenham’s quest for a new midfielder. The club’s need for reinforcement in the engine room is driven by the expected departures of key players, including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has entered the final year of his contract, started only eight Premier League games last season.

His diminished role has led to widespread speculation about his departure, with Tottenham keen to cash in before his contract expires.

Similarly, Giovani Lo Celso’s future at Tottenham looks uncertain. Despite making 22 appearances last season, the majority were off the bench, indicating he is not a part of Postecoglou’s long-term plans. As a result, Lo Celso is expected to be sold alongside Hojbjerg.

Tottenham has been linked with Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher for some time. Postecoglou is reportedly a keen admirer of the England international.

However, Chelsea’s £50 million valuation of Gallagher poses a significant challenge. Consequently, Tottenham is exploring alternatives, including Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, who is valued at around £25 million.

Among the most intriguing targets for Tottenham is Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey. Reports indicate that Spurs recently had a player-plus-cash bid rejected for Ramsey, offering £20 million plus Lo Celso. Despite the setback, Postecoglou remains determined to secure the talented midfielder.

According to reliable sources, including football.london journalist Alasdair Gold, Postecoglou has green-lit the move for Ramsey. Technical director Johan Lange is also playing a crucial role in pushing the deal forward.

However, Aston Villa’s valuation of Ramsey at around £50 million complicates the negotiation.

Jacob Ramsey’s potential justifies Aston Villa’s high asking price. Former Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor praised Ramsey’s attacking instincts and willingness to drive towards goal.

Ramsey’s development under various managers, including Dean Smith and Steven Gerrard, has showcased his all-round midfield capabilities.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Ramsey, coupled with their interest in Gallagher and Fofana, underscores their strategic approach to building a robust midfield.

The club’s willingness to invest significantly in top talent reflects their ambition to compete at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions.
