Tottenham among suitors looking at versatile £25m Premier League midfielder
Tottenham are exploring the possibility of moving for Brentford’s versatile midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk, with several Premier League clubs also monitoring his situation.
Tottenham Hotspur know they have to wait until 16 June before they can begin to buy any more players in the summer transfer window.
However, the brief closing of the summer window is not the only thing hindering Spurs’ transfer activity, as the absence of a manager is also playing a role, with Tottenham yet to replace Ange Postecoglou since his sacking on Friday, 6 June.
Spurs are said to be edging closer to sealing a deal for Brentford manager Thomas Frank, with an announcement expected this week, but still, the Lilywhites continue to be linked with different players.
Tottenham tracking Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk
CaughtOffside are now reporting that Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk has been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent weeks, and several clubs are keeping an eye on his situation.
Tottenham are amongst said clubs, with the outlet stating that Spurs are keeping tabs on Yarmolyuk, although no formal approach has been made yet.
It is understood that Yarmolyuk’s versatility – his ability to play as an eight, a ten, on the right and left positions in midfield – is what has caught the attention of Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to come forward with an official offer for him.
Spurs could hold advantage in race for Yarmolyuk
Despite interest from Tottenham and other Premier League clubs, Brentford are reported not to be open to selling the midfielder this summer, despite putting a £25.5 million (€30 million) asking price on the 21-year-old.
It is claimed that the Bees are not prioritising selling Yarmolyuk, as he still has six years left on his contract, with the West London club holding an option to extend it by another year.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton, Leeds United and Burnley are among the English sides reported to be monitoring the midfielder’s situation and would rival Tottenham for his signature.
Spurs, though, could have the upper hand, should Thomas Frank join them and push for the signing of the midfielder, who could be a great addition to their squad, given the inconsistencies of some of their midfielders.
