Tottenham are interested in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah
According to German publication BILD, Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a potential defensive reinforcement in the form of Jonathan Tah from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
The towering central defender could be available for a steal this summer, making him an enticing prospect for the North London club. Tottenham need defensive reinforcements in the summer and Tah is a great option.
Jonathan Tah possesses a release clause in his contract that would allow him to depart Leverkusen for a mere €18 million when triggered at the start of July. This presents a golden opportunity for Tottenham to bolster their backline without breaking the bank.

Spurs are in dire need of a reliable partner for Cristian Romero. Tah, at 27 years old, possesses the ideal profile to fill this void. Renowned for his physical presence and astute reading of the game, the German ace is a dominant force in the air.
Tottenham’s defensive frailties have been well-documented, and the addition of Tah could prove pivotal in shoring up their backline. His partnership alongside Romero has the potential to be a formidable force in the upcoming season.
The prospect of these two talented defenders combining their strengths should excite Spurs fans and provide a solid foundation for the team moving forward. One of the most appealing aspects of this potential transfer is the price tag.
Entering the prime of his career, Tah is poised to make an immediate impact in the highly competitive Premier League. His skill set is tailor-made for the physicality and demands of English football, making him an ideal fit for the rigours of the game.
However, it’s worth noting that Tah may have aspirations of playing in the prestigious UEFA Champions League. Tottenham’s absence from the competition could hinder their chances of securing his signature.
