Insider reveals Tottenham midfield plans for transfer window close

Tottenham Hotspur fans are eagerly awaiting any last-minute moves to strengthen their squad. However, according to club insider Paul O Keefe, it appears that a new midfielder is unlikely to be added to the North London outfit before the window slams shut.

Tottenham have been steadily building an impressive project under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou, who has already overseen some notable signings during his short tenure. This summer, the club bolstered its ranks with the addition of two promising teenage midfielders, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. Both players have shown immense potential and are expected to play meaningful roles in their debut campaigns. However, given their age and inexperience, they are unlikely to feature as regular starters.

The midfield has been an area of speculation for Spurs throughout the summer, particularly after the departure of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. The Danish international was a key presence in the Tottenham dressing room, and with his exit, it’s no surprise that rumours about potential replacements started swirling. Despite the chatter about bringing in more experienced midfielders, O Keefe reckons Tottenham might not be too fussed about adding any new faces in that department.

One key reason for this decision could be the impressive performances of the current squad. Yves Bissouma, in particular, has caught the eye with his strong display against Everton. The Mali international showed off his solid defensive game and knack for controlling the midfield. This probably gave Postecoglou and the crew confidence that they were sorted in the middle of the pitch.

Even though the midfield might not see any new faces, there’s still a chance that Spurs could strengthen other parts of the squad. Tottenham are reportedly keeping an eye on the market for a potential new goalkeeper or defender. If the right opportunity arises, the club could make a late move to bolster their defensive options.

The decision not to prioritize a midfield signing may come as a surprise to some supporters, especially considering the loss of Højbjerg. However, there are still a few days left until the transfer window closes, and several reports suggest a potential last-minute signing. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
