Tottenham reportedly set to sign midfielder before transfer window closes

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly on the hunt for one final addition to their midfield. According to Football Insider, the North London club are still in the market for a central midfielder, looking to strengthen their midfield options before the transfer window closes on 30 August.

This news comes amid growing anticipation among fans and pundits alike, as Spurs look to finalise their squad under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham’s midfield has seen significant changes this summer, with the departures of Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Despite these exits, the squad still boasts a wealth of talent in the midfield department. Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Pape Sarr are all vying for starting spots, alongside exciting new signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

The Everton game showed off Tottenham’s depth, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski slotting into attacking midfield roles.

While Tottenham’s midfield options appear strong, the club’s desire to add another player suggests that Postecoglou may be looking for a different profile or simply to add more depth to the squad. The identity of this potential new signing remains a mystery, with no major rumours currently linking Spurs to any specific midfielder. However, Tottenham have shown a knack for pulling off surprise deals late in the window, as seen with the signing of Wilson Odobert earlier this summer.

Postecoglou’s openness to late signings, as evidenced by his comments following Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Everton, has kept supporters on edge. The Australian manager hinted that the club is still on the lookout for opportunities to improve the squad.

However, this report contrasts with the statements made by club insider Paul O Keefe, who says that it appears a new midfielder is unlikely to be added to the North London outfit before the window slams shut.
