Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a summer deal for Danish defender Victor Nelsson
According to Turkish outlet T24, Tottenham Hotspur is edging closer to securing the services of Danish central defender Victor Nelsson, signalling their intent to strengthen their backline ahead of the upcoming season.
It was revealed that Galatasaray’s director, Erden Timur, made a trip to London to engage in talks with Tottenham, indicating the club’s willingness to part ways with the talented defender for a fee of €25 million.
However, negotiations didn’t proceed as smoothly as Tottenham had hoped. Sporx, another Turkish outlet, reported yesterday that Spurs initially made a bid of €13 million for Nelsson, only to have it swiftly rejected by Timur.
While Galatasaray may be reluctant to part ways with Nelsson, his desire for a fresh challenge coupled with the significant transfer fee involved have provided an opening for negotiations.
Admittedly, Victor Nelsson may not be the high-profile signing that some Tottenham fans were hoping for. However, his addition to the squad could prove pivotal in bolstering a defence that is in need of improvement.
With the potential departures of defensive players looming in the summer, Nelsson’s arrival would provide a valuable boost to the team. These are the kind of players that are really essential for squad depth.
The 22-year-old Danish defender has been making waves in European football, impressing with his commanding presence, excellent positional sense, and ability to initiate attacks from the backline.
Nelsson’s versatility in playing as both a centre-back and a defensive midfielder adds an extra dimension to his game, providing Tottenham with valuable tactical flexibility. By acquiring Nelsson’s services, Tottenham Hotspur would not only enhance their defensive capabilities but also secure long-term investment.
