Tottenham bagging the chance to sign this 6ft 2in Danish giant would get them a perfect replacement for Alderweireld

Joachim Andersen could be the perfect Alderweireld replacement at Tottenham

Tottenham have been a defensively sound team over the years. Mauricio Pochettino has done an excellent job of bringing up young defenders while also keeping his star centre-halves happy. They now have four top quality players for that position who can all start the game and perform well.

 

Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are veteran centre-backs while Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth have been brought in for the future. Both the youngsters have been getting ample game time because of the injury problems that have been troubling Vertonghen since September.

But suddenly, Spurs are looking at the market for a top centre-half because of the Toby Alderweireld contract conundrum. According to the Telegraph, Spurs have already extended Alderweireld’s contract for another year but there is a £25m release clause added into the contract.

What this means is that while Alderweireld will remain until 2020, a club could acquire his services for just £25m in the summer. With the likelihood of that being high, Spurs have no option but to splurge in the market to identify and purchase a strong replacement for the Belgian.

According to a report from the Independent, Spurs are targeting Danish defender Joachim Andersen from Italian side Sampdoria as a potential replacement for Alderweireld. The 6ft 2in defender has been in excellent form over the course of the last couple of seasons.

According to the Sun, Manchester United and Inter are also interested in the Danish defender and could face competition in convincing him to make the move. Tottenham will be hoping that they can complete this deal at the earliest possible opportunity to secure their defensive options for next term.

The young Dane is a tall defender who makes his presence felt in both boxes. While he is a big lad, it doesn’t, however, restrict his mobility at all. He is rather quick for a man of his size and has the ability to read the play with intuitive perfection.

His positioning and defensive movement make him a very hard player to get past and hence, would suit the Premier League style as well.

With his excellent awareness and strength, he could walk right into the Spurs starting line-up and feel at home. This move is a no-brainer for Pochettino and it needs to be completed before Spurs’ rivals get a chance to do so.

Report: Celtic dealt blow in pursuit of 19-year-old Serie A ace

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey

According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.

Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.

The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.

But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.

Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.

However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.

Transfer News: PL side enter race to sign 25-year-old Rangers star

Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton

According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.

Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.

After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.

During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece.

However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.

With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
