Tottenham Hotspur are being tipped as favourites to sign 3 Premier League stars – Luke Shaw, Ross Barkley, and Wilfried Zaha. Spurs have been linked with all the three players at some point in time or the other and now, Sky Bet are claiming that Tottenham are favourites to sign all the 3 English stars.
The Lilywhites were linked with a move for Luke Shaw earlier, who has been receiving little time on the pitch under Jose Mourinho. As a result of that, he was rumoured to be expecting a rescue mission from Mauricio Pochettino, who he had worked with during their days at Southampton. Shaw has made just 18 appearances owing to his injury struggles and also Mourinho’s apparent lack of belief in the player. He has 2 assists to show for this season. Tottenham are at odds 5-1 to sign the gifted left-back from Manchester United.
Ross Barkley of Everton has been an ever present in Tottenham’s transfer news reports and Sky Bet claim that Spurs are 5-2 favourites to sign the Englishman, who has just 12 months left on his current deal at Goodison Park. Barkley was linked with a move to Tottenham earlier in March as it was claimed that the player was ready to move to London. Barkley has 5 goals and 9 assists this season from 35 appearances in what has been an under-par season for the midfielder.
Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha has time and again been linked with Tottenham and a lot of reports have emerged in the last few months regarding the player’s move to White Hart Lane. He was linked with a £25 million move to Tottenham a few weeks back. The ex-Manchester United flop has been the only bright spot in what has been a disappointing season for Crystal Palace and Tottenham are now tipped to be favourites to sign the speedster at odds of 6-4. Zaha has scored 6 goals and has 11 assists to his name this season.
With a move to the new stadium all set to happen at the start of the 2018/19 season, it is important for Tottenham to build a strong team as they would be under heavy financial restriction once the move is completed. With all the players above being English, wouldn’t they add to the quality English core of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Harry Winks, Kyle Walker, and Danny Rose, who are already at White Hart Lane?
