Mario Hermoso, the center back for Atletico Madrid, is a target for Tottenham Hotspur, although they haven’t taken any firm action to sign him.
But if interest in the free agent heats up, Tottenham’s hibernation might end in the upcoming weeks, according to Radio Punto Nuovo.
Hermoso played a key role in Diego Simeone’s team‘s success last season, winning 55% of his matches and contributing to eight clean sheets in 31 appearances.
The 29-year-old started on the left side of Atletico’s back three and, when necessary, moved to left back.
Hermoso can fill in for Micky van de Ven at Spurs, as the team does not currently have a substitute for him.
Last season, Van de Ven was a revelation, but because to his injury problems, manager Ange Postecoglou was forced to start Ben Davies at center defense.
Hermoso can cover for Van de Ven with skill, giving Davies the opportunity to cover for Destiny Udogie, the left back.
Spurs had trouble when players from the starting lineup became hurt. The campaign was ruined by it, and the North Londoners need to make sure it doesn’t happen again next year.
If Postecoglou hopes to contend for the Premier League crown the next season, he needs top-notch options off the bench.
However, given that Hermoso is a free agent this summer and is therefore a wanted man, Tottenham will probably face fierce competition for his services.
Napoli are interested in adding him to Antonio Conte’s team for next season, as they want to improve their defence. Aston Villa and Chelsea are also considering a deal for him.
Hermoso is exactly the type of acquisition Spurs need.
In today’s overinflated transfer market, Hermoso is a steal for Tottenham. He is an experienced and solid defender who can provide Spurs with several years of service for free.
The Spanish international also has winning experience. He was a member of Atletico Madrid’s La Liga winning team in 2020/21, and his experience can help Tottenham win its first trophy since 2008.
