Tottenham target Joachim Andersen 'eager to stay in the Premier League' after impressive season on loan at Fulham despite relegation

Tottenham are reportedly interested in Lyon defender Joachim Andersen after impressing on loan at Fulham, and the player himself is keen to stay in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old has been a standout performer for the Cottagers despite their relegation but will return to his parent club in June.

The central defender is expected to leave Lyon this summer and wants a return to the English top flight to be his next destination with Spurs linked with a £20million move, report the Evening Standard.
