5 Spurs centre-back targets


TRANSFER TALK

Spurs-target-Alfie-Mawson

Not an exhaustive list by any means but five centre-backs we have been linked with this summer and easily laid out to compare.

Matthias Ginter (Borussia Dortmund)
Age: 23-year-old (24 next January)
International caps: 10 (Germany)
Foot: Right-footed
Sponsor: Nike
Contract length: 2019
Premier League Experience: No
Value: Around £15m

Sky Germany speculate that he is unhappy at a lack of game time yet he played 2,474 minutes of Bundesliga football, equivalent to 27.49 full games and in all played 3,382 minutes, equivalent to 37.58 full games.

Chris Smalling (Manchester United)
Age: 27-year-old (28 in November)
International caps: 31 (England)
Foot: Right-footed
Sponsor: Nike
Contract length: 2019
Premier League Experience: Yes
Value: Around £15m

Are we genuinely interested in him or has my suggestion fed th subsequent media speculation that appears to have no evidence at all.

Alfie Mawson (Swansea City)
Age: 23-year-old (24 next January)
International caps: 2 (England Under-21)
Foot: Left-footed
Sponsor:
Contract length: 2020
Premier League Experience: Yes
Value: Around £15m

For me the most intersting, still should be plenty of room for improvement given his time in non-league and lower league football.

Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax)
Age: 17-year-old (18 in August)
International caps: 1 (Holland)
Foot: Right-footed
Sponsor: Adidas
Contract length: 2019
Premier League Experience: No
Value: ???

Highly promising Dutch defender who is surely going to be the most expensive of the five listed dspite still being a teenager. he fits the profile of players we are seeking, although in a back three we do have to be careful not to have three right-footers.

Michael Keane (Burnley)
Age: 24-year-old (25 next January)
International caps: 2 (England)
Foot: Right-footed
Sponsor: Nike
Contract length: 2018
Premier League Experience: Yes
Value: £25m

Wanted a move back to Manchester United but that seems to have fallen through now they have signed Swedish centre-back Victor Lindelof.
