Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be busy during the summer transfer window as Ange Postecoglou’s rebuilding efforts progress.
Spurs have had a good season thus far (for the most part), hitting the ground running and being considered dark horses for the title at one point.
While it proved to be too much of a battle for Tottenham, they are still in contention for a Champions League spot.
Spurs were one of the Premier League’s busiest clubs during both the summer and January transfer windows.
It would not be shocking to see more significant changes in the Tottenham squad in the coming months.
Based on what we witnessed on Saturday, Tottenham can surely bring in additional defensive reinforcements.
And one guy who has been connected with Tottenham is regarded as one of the world’s most promising young defenders.
Tottenham are considering a 22-year-old defender who has been compared to Cristian Romero.
The man in question is Bayer Leverkusen‘s Piero Hincapie, who is expected to lift the Bundesliga title in the coming weeks.
Christian Falk, a German football journalist, has discussed Tottenham’s interest in the 22-year-old Ecuadorian international.
“So far, the league leaders have a strong squad from positions one to 18,” the BILD journalist told Caught Offside.
If Jonathan Tah stays, another centre defender, Piero Hincapie, may wish to depart to play for another team.
“The Ecuadorian is being pursued by English clubs such as Tottenham.
“Transfer fee: at least €40million (£34million), which Simon Rolfes and Xabi Alonso could immediately invest in the new team.”
What famous defenders have inspired Tottenham Hotspur target Piero Hincapie?
Hincapie would be an excellent choice for a Tottenham side that is mostly on the right track but still needs a lot of work.
Hincapie has also spoken about his brother comparing him to Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, although preferring Carles Puyol or Sergio Ramos.
“On Fridays, when we travelled by bus for seven or eight hours to play for Independiente del Valle, I watched a lot of videos of Puyol and Sergio Ramos,” Hincapie told Scouted Football on the Bundesliga website.
“I watched the movies to keep myself entertained on the bus, and it was then that I understood how much I enjoyed Puyol.
“He had a unique style of play, perhaps less technical than Ramos, but he was a leader and captain.” “One of the best centre backs I’ve ever seen.”
