BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham has signed a strong midfieder who seems to be there hope:

Contact has already reportedly been made with the Morocco international’s entourage.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly chasing a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat this summer, according to reports.

What’s the latest Spurs transfer news?
Ange Postecoglou looks set to be backed by the Spurs board ahead of his first Premier League season in charge in north London, with five potential new signings on the agenda.

A transfer meeting has already been held, with a new midfielder thought to be on the wishlist. Leicester City’s James Maddison appears to be a target, however, Tottenham appear to be trailing Newcastle United in the race for the England international.

Celtic midfielder Reo Hatate is another to be linked with a move to Spurs following Postecoglou’s arrival, and it appears as if Amrabat is another name to look out for.

Sport Witness relayed an update from Mundo Deportivo regarding Amrabat. The report states that Spurs and Bayern Munich have joined Atletico Madrid in the race for the midfielder, who is set to leave his current employers over the coming months.

An auction looks set to take place at a starting price of €20m, with SW citing previous claims suggesting that contact has already been made by Spurs to Amrabat’s representatives.

Who is Sofyan Amrabat?
Amrabat, described as a “monster” at the World Cup with Morocco by journalist Carlo Garganese, is primarily a defensive midfielder who can also play further forward in a box-to-box role.

The 26-year-old, who cares the same agency as Ben Davies, appears to be at the top of his game after his Transfermarkt valuation rocketed from €10m in November to a career-high €25m prior to the New Year. He has made 107 appearances for his current employers but has more than 250 games of senior club experience under his belt.

Bringing in a new defensive midfielder could prove to be a smart idea, as Oliver Skipp is the only out-and-out holding midfielder on the books at this moment in time. As per FBref, Amrabat ranks in the 99th percentile for long passes completed and 98th percentile for medium passes completed, so could bring a real stability to Spurs’ midfield.

Adding Maddison to bring the creative spark to Postecoglou’s 4-3-3 formation could complement someone like Amrabat and an existing central midfielder such as Rodrigo Bentancur, but Spurs will need to pip a number of sides to secure Amrabat’s services over the coming months.

Report: Spurs target has ‘his suitcase ready’ as club plan swift sale 

According to the print edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), AS Roma will look to sell Tottenham target Roger Ibanez before the end of this month since they need to swiftly balance their finances.

We previously covered a report from Giallorossi.net, which named Tottenham and Atletico Madrid as the two clubs vying for Ibanez’s signature.

The publication claimed that neither club were willing to pay more than €20m (£17.1m), which falls well short of Roma’s valuation of the defender.

However, Gazzetta have now claimed that Ibanez ‘is leaving’ the Stadio Olimpico this summer, with the Serie A side already said to have made up their minds to cash in on the centre-back.

Roma looking for quick Ibanez sale

This is because Jose Mourinho’s men desperately need to raise funds before the end of this month in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations. It is alleged that Roma want €30m (£25.6m) for Ibanez, who ‘has his suitcase ready’ to leave the Italian capital.

The report states that the Brazilian has admirers in the Premier League, with Tottenham being named but it is suggested that the Giallorrossi need offers to come ‘quickly’.

We know that Daniel Levy looks to take advantage of situations like this, as he did to sign Richarlison last summer right when Everton were running out of time and needed funds desperately.

It is not out of the question that the Spurs chairman might put in a cheeky £15m-£20m offer for Ibanez before the end of June.

Tottenham are likely to make wholesale changes to their defence this summer with question marks over the futures of Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sanchez, while it is said that Spurs are in talks with Barcelona over a cut-price deal for Clement Lenglet.
