Tottenham interested in Swiss international Denis Zakaria
Tottenham are interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria, according to Bild (h/t Metro).
The 22-year-old normally plays as a defensive midfielder and is one of the most consistent players in his position.
The Swiss international is also a target of several other top clubs. Premier League rivals Manchester United are keen on the 22-year-old and so are Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund (h/t Metro).
Zakaria has scored four goals in all competitions this season and is contracted with Monchengladbach till 2022. The Swiss star would not come on the cheap, with Monchengladbach demanding €50m for Zakaria (h/t Metro).
Tottenham’s midfield needs fresh legs
Going into the season with Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso as the new faces for the midfield wasn’t all that bad.
However, most of our midfielders have been below par this season. Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama are not performing at the top level while Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks have been average so far.
Tottenham need to find a solution to their poor season and moving in the winter window is one option. Splashing €50m might be too big a deal for Daniel Levy to sanction. It will be interesting to see what our plans are in January, especially with several players becoming free agents at the end of the season.
