Tottenham Hotspur eye move for Stoke City’s Wouter Burger
Tottenham Hotspur are named one of the four clubs chasing Stoke City midfielder Wouter Burger, per teamtalk.
The Lilywhites will be looking to add depth to their roster in the upcoming summer transfer window to build on the progress they have made since Ange Postecoglou took charge of the club last summer. Adding depth into midfield is one of the points on Daniel Levy’s summer list, as the Lilywhites have been linked with various midfielders for a probable more, and the 23-year-old Dutch midfielder has now landed on Spurs target list following his impressive performances for the Potters.
Moreover, Spurs have changed their transfer policy lately as they are keeping a keen eye on signing high-potential young profiles who can be shaped as per Ange Postecoglou’s long-term needs. Daniel Levy & Co. are looking into the English market for their next prototype as the Spurs intensify their bid to sign Wouter Burger.
Spurs look to Dutch midfielder as budget-friendly signing
Stoke have endured a relatively poor season at Bet365 Stadium, as they only just escaped relegation. However, Wouter Burger has been a shining light in a difficult season, and they face a fight to keep him in Staffordshire this summer. He has been linked with a move to recently relegated Sheffield United and two other Premier League clubs alongside the mighty Spurs.
The report states that he is all set to make a move to the English top-tier, making Tottenham’s intentions to acquire his services more likely. It is believed that a £12 million fee could be enough to let Stoke sell their star midfielder.

Tottenham have ample marquee players to sign in multiple positions this summer, and a few of the depth players should be a blend of high ceiling and low cost to give Levy some leeway into big-money transfers, and signing Burger could just be that for Tottenham.
