ALMOST DONE: Wolves star is someone Spurs hope to sign later in the transfer window.
The summer transfer market may not have ended for Tottenham Hotspur just yet, as the team is rumored to be interested on adding another midfield player before it closes later this month.
Postecoglou desires additional alternatives in the midfield.
Archie Gray was previously signed by Spurs this summer, and Lucas Bergvall joined the team in January. The two youths have essentially taken the places of Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who joined Leicester City and Marseille, respectively, this summer.
However, it appears like Postecoglou wants additional coverage in the middle of the park, particularly in light of Rodrigo Bentancur’s injury sustained on Monday night during the Lilywhites’ opening league encounter of the season. This is in line with a report from GiveMeSport, which states that Spurs will reportedly want Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes within the next week or two. Spurs are reportedly considering making a late-season move for Gomes as they continue to pinpoint areas in the squad where they can improve, with Daniel Levy and Johan Lange spearheading the hiring process.
Gomes appears to be a target for Tottenham since he fits Postecoglou’s description of a “energetic midfielder who is capable of breaking forward.” According to the source, Wolves would not want to let Gomes go, but Spurs are prepared to make a quick test move.
Gomes might be the Spurs’ best player. The rumors that Gomes and Spurs could sign a deal for about £50 million have fueled speculation about the transfer. Gomes would also be a fantastic addition to the Spurs midfield, claims WhoScored. Gomes would provide the Lilywhites with the ball-winning skills they need. Since the beginning of the previous season, he has made 130 more tackles than any other player in the Premier League.
