Blackburn star Ashley Phillip’s move to Tottenham Hotspur has been stalled due to issues over the fee add-ons

According to Football London, Tottenham Hotspur’s bid for Blackburn centre-back Ashley Phillips has stalled due to the club asking for significant add-ons to be included in the fee to be paid.

Phillips, 19, has been part of the England youth set-up and is highly regarded as one of the upcoming talents from the lower tier of English football.

Spurs have identified him as a star for the future and were in talks with cash-strapped Blackburn over a £3m deal for the player. For that fee, a player of Phillips’ ilk would be brilliant, considering he would be one for the future.

Tottenham Hotspur dealt a transfer blow in their pursuit of teenage defender Ash Phillips.
However, Blackburn are now asking for significant add-ons to be included in the deal which would significantly increase the price of the deal and therefore has stalled the deal for the time being.

Spurs new manager Ange Posteloglou has stressed the need of strengthening the defence ahead of the new season and although Phillips would not have been slotted straight into the first-team, the plan was to keep him around the first-team.

“Some of [the areas needing new players] I had identified early on. I don’t think it’s any secret about some of the areas we needed to strengthen. The goalkeeper was one and central defence is another.

Yeah, I think that’s definitely our intention, absolutely. We’ve been working on it for a while and we’ll definitely try to get it done as quickly as possible”

With the Premier League season starting very soon, it is important that we get our defensive targets before the first game against Brentford.

While additions in the attacking department have been made with the acquisitions of James Maddison, Manor Solomon and Dejan Kulusevski, the defence still needs an upgrade.

Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven are two names that have been constantly linked with the club and it remains to be seen whether the club will be able to do a deal over the line before the Premier League season starts.

Tottenham now £13m step closer to sign professional centre-back
July 26, 2023 admin
Tottenham has identified their primary defensive targets.

Tottenham Hotspur have identified a Premier League-proven centre-back as a summer priority, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor, who updated GIVEMESPORT.

Spurs are looking for extra reinforcements, despite the fact that Ange Postecoglou has already made significant additions to his new-look club.

Tottenham Hotspur transfer information

Tottenham’s camp is buzzing ahead of the new season, with Postecoglou having infused a much-needed new breath of life at Hotspur Way.

Tottenham’s marquee signing thus far this summer has been the £40 million acquisition of James Maddison from Leicester City.

Maddison was part of Leicester’s relegation to the Championship last season, and the energetic midfielder is now hoping to impress at Spurs ahead of the European Championships next summer.

Guglielmo Vicario, the 2008 League Cup winners’ goalkeeper, has also signed a contract with the club, signing from Empoli for £17 million last month.

Whereas Manor Solomon, who caught the eye during a spell with Fulham last season, joins Tottenham on a free transfer, having suspended his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, following a controversial rule introduced by FIFA which impacts players playing for clubs in war-torn Ukraine.

With three new faces through the door already, Postecoglou wants to add even more and a central defender is next on the former Celtic manager’s shopping list.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Daily Express journalist Taylor admitted that Tottenham were eyeing up a new addition at centre-back, with Tosin Adarabioyo one name high up on their shortlist.

On the 25-year-old defender, Taylor said: “There’s strong interest in Tosin, the Fulham centre-back who was left out of the squad to face Brentford in Philadelphia.

I think he’s a player that ticks the homegrown quota, he’s admired by Spurs and it looks like he can leave Fulham this summer, as he’s only got one year left on his deal. So I think they’re the two that will probably be the priority, Micky van de Ven and Adarabioyo.”

As alluded to by Taylor, Spurs are eyeing a cut-price deal for Adarabioyo this summer, as they look to add to their defensive options.

According to The Evening Standard, the north Londoners will attempt to capitalize on Adarabioyo’s desire to quit Fulham by signing the ex-Manchester City man for a reduced fee.

While there is no word on how much the Manchester-born defender will cost, Transfermarkt values Adarabioyo at £13 million, implying Spurs will not have to break the bank to sign him this summer.

Adarabioyo, who earns an estimated £40,000 per week, is out of contract at the end of the season and has showed no signs of extending his stay at Craven Cottage.
