Tottenham are believed to be readying an offer for a “phenomenal” Premier League player, with Daniel Levy and co. speaking to his agents in recent weeks.
Tottenham turning eyes towards summer signings
Spurs continue to be linked with various signings ahead of the summer transfer window, with Feyenoord centre-back David Hancko seen as a key target. The Slovakia international has started 23 Eredivisie matches this season, averaging 2.7 clearances per game and enjoying a 90.4% pass completion rate, and Ange Postecoglou needs more depth at the heart of his defence.
The north Londoners came up against Antoine Semenyo in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he too is seen as a potential summer target. The winger has 11 goal contributions in 27 Premier League outings in 2024/25 to date, and could be such an exciting addition.
Semenyo’s teammate Dean Huijsen has also been linked with a move to one of the traditional ‘big six’ for some time now, with Spurs speaking with his agents about a move in recent weeks. The teenage centre-back has a £55m release clause in his countract with the Cherries.
Tottenham preparing bid for “phenomenal” Huijsen
According to Caught Offside, Tottenham are one of several clubs who are “expected to make an offer” for Bournemouth ace Huijsen this summer. Liverpool and Arsenal also reportedly eyeing him up, with £30m bids expected from suitors imminently.
Huijsen has arguably been one of the most impressive central defenders in the Premier League this season, despite still being a teenager, proving to be such a safe pair of hands for Bournemouth.
The 19 year-old has won six caps for Spain’s Under-21s, not to mention making 18 appearances for the Netherlands at international youth level across three age groups, prior to switching his allegiance. Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has described him as a “phenomenal” player.
While Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven represent a strong centre-back pairing for Spurs currently, both have had their injury problems this season, so more depth in that area of the pitch is required.

Tottenham are one of two Premier League clubs very keen on signing the centre-back.
In Huijsen, the north Londoners could be signing a footballer with world-class potential – Juan Jesus Gutierrez Robles, his former coach at Malaga Under-16s, has “no doubt that he will be one of the best centre-backs in the world for the next 10 years”.
If they can beat Liverpool and Arsenal to his signature, it would feel like a significant piece of business for Levy and co. as they seek to give Ange some serious backing this summer before making a decision on his future once and for all.
