By Manuel Meza
Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of Feyenoord right-back Lutsharel Geertruida has intensified, with the North London club reportedly making significant strides in securing his signature, as reported by CaughtOffside.
Lutsharel Geertruida, the 23-year-old right-back from Feyenoord, has emerged as a coveted target in the ongoing transfer window.
According to The Daily Mirror, Tottenham's hopes received a boost as Liverpool appeared to be reconsidering their pursuit of the Dutch defender, potentially placing Spurs ahead in the race. This development comes amidst heightened interest from other top clubs like Inter Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, underscoring Geertruida's growing reputation in European football.
Spurs' interest in Geertruida aligns with their strategy to bolster their defensive ranks ahead of the new season. With Emerson Royal expected to depart, Tottenham sees Geertruida as a viable replacement who can bring defensive solidity and attacking prowess down the right flank.
Feyenoord, aware of the player's rising stock, has set an asking price in the range of €20m-€25m (£17m-£21.1m), reflecting his value and potential in the current market.
