Tottenham are hoping to bring in some new faces next January, with Palmeiras’ Richard Reus at the top of their list, however, they face competition for him from some of their Premier League rivals.
Despite Tottenham reaching the next round of the FA Cup at the weekend, and despite their current injury crisis, only Brighton have more players out according to Premier League injuries – North Londoners in Tamworth have not fared the best.
That might go some way to explaining why Tottenham want Marcus RashfordAnd why Tottenham is looking for Inter player Davide Fratesi.
Tottenham want Richard Reus
Sources have indicated to CaughtOffside that Ange Postecoglou is still interested in bringing the 24-year-old Colombian midfielder to the club, however, the Australian appears to have already seen one bid for Reus fall through this month.
Furthermore, any move could become more problematic with news also provided by CaughtOffside sources that both Everton and Nottingham Forest are pushing hard for Reus in the January window.
Reus plays as a central midfielder and has long impressed European clubs with his consistency and high level of performance with Brazilian club Palmeiras.
Tottenham demands to secure the contract with Liverpool fans’ favorite player!
It is not clear how much the club will demand for his transfer, although it is understood he has a release clause of €100m.
Richard Reus’ offer has already been rejected by Palmeiras
Tottenham, Everton and Forest are unlikely to want to pay anything close to that figure, although it is understood from sources that Ange Postecoglou is indeed very keen on Reus.
The player has been followed by scouts during the last two matches against Cruzeiro and Fluminense, and the reports reaching north London have been impressive.
Reus is over six feet tall, which is unusual for a powerful midfielder on the ball, and his control of his area of the pitch is clearly what Spurs are looking for.
However, having recently signed a new contract extension, he won’t be cheap.
