Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen their defence in the near future.
They want to find a player who can compete with Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero for a starting spot. And, according to Fichajes, they are interested in Portuguese star Antonio Silva.
The 20-year-old center-back has already established himself at the heart of Benfica‘s defence. His outstanding efforts have earned him seven caps for the Portuguese national team.
Silva’s meteoric rise and regular performances have generated significant interest in his services. Some of Europe’s biggest clubs are interested in bringing him in. Real Madrid and Manchester United have both been linked with the Benfica sensation. However, it appears that Spurs want to be first in queue for his signature.
Ange Postecoglou has done miracles since coming over, but he is fully aware that they lack depth in their ranks. He wants to add reinforcements before the start of the following season, when they hope to fight for the league title.
Postecoglou‘s first aim for bolstering his defence is Silva. The Australian wants to sign someone who can compete with Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero for a starting spot. And he believes the 20-year-old might be a good match for the club in the short and long term.
However, Spurs may face difficulties because to the €100 million release clause in his contract. However, they remain steadfast in their pursuit of the Benfica defender as they seek to assemble a side capable of competing for the Premier League title next season.
