Tottenham set to miss out on Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida to RB Leipzig
Big Ange and Tottenham Hotspur will be happy with how they have strengthened the squad over the summer transfer window.
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou wants to build on his solid first season in north London and get the club into the Champions League spots this time around. Similar to the Wilson Odobert deal, they could have an ace up the sleeve and surprise the fans with a last-minute buy on the deadline day.
There is an expectation that players such as Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso will depart the Hotspur Way and find new homes before the window slams shut. Needless to say, while Tottenham have made some exciting, long-term signings, they lack quality depth in a couple of areas of the pitch—chiefly in defence.

Big Ange’s squad has been weakened by the departure of Emerson Royal to AC Milan. In a season where the Lilywhites are going to compete in four competitions, the Greek-Australian tactician must have a squad with solid depth. This makes it extremely important for the club to replace Royal at right-back, even though they have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence as options.
Spurs had made a contract offer to Feyenoord full-back Lutsharel Geertruida in June, but it looks like he is heading to Germany.
According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida will join RB Leipzig in a deal above €25m. He is expected to undergo medical tests on Friday before signing his contract at RB Leipzig.
RB Leipzig agreeing a fee with Feyenoord for Geertruida should come as a huge blow for Tottenham.
