Ange Postecoglou’s team will face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur could have two new players by the time they go to Manchester United for a crucial Premier League match this weekend.
When Ange Postecoglou’s team arrives in Manchester on Sunday, January 14, they will attempt to keep their Champions League hopes alive. This will be both players’ first Premier League game in 2024.
That day will mark a fortnight since the start of the January transfer market, and while club officials at United anticipate a peaceful month, those in north London are feeling everything but. Spurs plan to make two key additions in the coming days.
First, Sky Sports says that they are likely to sign Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig after agreeing to a £15.5 million permanent option that will take effect in the summer. The 27-year-old, who was also of interest to United earlier this month, will undergo a physical in the coming days.
Tottenham are also on the verge of signing a new centre-back, with Fabrizio Romano stating that negotiations with Genoa are underway for Radu Drăgușin. The Serie A club is thought to seek roughly £26 million for their defender.
United have been associated with both Werner and Drăgușin at various periods over the last year, owing in part to Erik ten Hag‘s desire for reinforcements in central defence and attack. Three of the club’s five defenders have turned 30, and the Dutchman wants to reduce the age profile in that area.
Ten Hag has struggled to score goals, and United’s Premier League total of 22 is only better than Burnley and Sheffield United. Winger Jadon Sancho is expected to return to Borussia Dortmund on loan, and Facundo Pellistri has also been a target.
United enters the game in eighth place, eight points behind Tottenham in fifth and nine points away from the Champions League places.
