Player stats

The Danish international has made 26 appearances in Serie A this season.

His performance has drawn interests from European giants like Manchester United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.

The 21-year-old spent his youth career at Danish local club Greve and FC Copenhagen.

He made his senior debut at FC Twente where he won the U-19 talent of the year 2015 before joining the Italian club.

Andersen is highly known for his long-range passes, judging the opponent’s movement, and tackling skills.

Why Tottenham should pursue?

The North London side has seen hardly any incoming players in the past transfer windows.

The Danish youngster would be a perfect replacement for Toby Alderweireld who is speculated to leave this summer and ageing Jan Vertonghen.

Possibilities

This is the second meeting since mid-February between the personnel of both the clubs and it indicates the sign of a potential transfer.

The defender has been labelled the price tag of €25m (h/t Sports Witness) an affordable one for Spurs who haven’t largely splurged on any players in the past.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are awaiting their opponents for the Champions League quarterfinals.

They are currently third in the Premier league table and are battling hard to secure their place in the top four.

Arsenal to announce Willian transfer soon

Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Willian Borges da Silva on a three-year contract worth £100,000-a-week according to Dailymail.

The Blues tried to hold down their star player but Willian wasn’t interested in a short deal given his age and found a better offer from the Gunners.

The 32-year old has been consistent for the Blues over the past few years and has displayed some serious performances ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Brazilian for Arsenal would give the club a different dimension to the game and add a great depth to their young squad.

When Arsenal do finally announce the signing it would mean they have beaten a host of clubs, including David Beckham’s new MLS franchise Inter Miami, Manchester United and several other clubs from Serie A. The player’s agent had earlier said that Willian had five different offers.

Willian might be the first of many signings as Arsenal are set for a busy summer as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad ahead of a new season that brings in a lot of expectations from him.
