Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino.
The 27-year-old Spanish international has established himself as a crucial player for the La Liga club, and according to Fichajes, he is ‘considered one of the greatest’ midfielders in the country.
Tottenham is interested in bringing him in as a midfield partner for Yves Bissouma and . Merino will provide defensive strength and control in the middle of the pitch. He is under contract with the Spanish club until the summer of 2025, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham and the Spanish club can agree on a fair deal for him.
Tottenham, without a doubt, require more talent in central midfield, and Merino might be the ideal replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is poised to leave the north London club in the coming months. The Danish international has been an important player for Tottenham since his arrival, but he has fallen out of favour since Ange Postecoglou’s arrival.
There have been reports that the Danish international is not a good fit for the Australian manager’s style of play. Merino could be the ideal replacement, but it has to be seen whether the Spaniard is interested in returning to the Premier League.
He already had an unsatisfactory experience at , and he may be motivated to prove his worth in English football this time.
Tottenham have started the season brilliantly, and there is no reason why they cannot entice Merino if they are successful in regaining their place in the Champions League.
