Spurs finished the Premier League season in fifth position, only missing out on a Champions League berth by a scant few points.

Spurs will try to strengthen the team and rectify its shortcomings during the next transfer window.

In an effort to deepen their roster, the Lilywhites are keen to bolster their midfield this summer.

According to recent sources, Wouter Burger, a defensive midfielder for Stoke City, is the goal of the North London team.

Tottenham Hotspur is to offer £12 million to entice a Netherlands U21 international to the English top flight, according to a report by TEAMtalk.

Burger transferred for €5 million from FC Basel to Stoke City for the 2018–19 season.

Under Steven Schumacher, the former Feyenoord academy player has been a consistent presence in the Championship this year.

Burger has appeared in 39 games, starting 31 of them, and has shown promise in his debut season, despite Stoke just missing relegation. In addition, he has three goals and four assists. (Transfermarkt)

Spurs are showing a strong interest in the 23-year-old, although Sheffield United and two other Premier League teams are apparently after Burger’s signature.

The Dutch midfielder has more than three years left on his current contract, which he signed with Stoke City in June 2027.

The youthful midfielder, whose current market value is €5 million, is a desirable choice for the Lilywhites because to his reasonable price tag and potential for success in the top division.
