Tottenham Hotspur have been reportedly following the progress of Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt for some time now. The Guardian reported that the 19-year-old was a target for Spurs during the summer transfer window, but the deal didn’t take place.
With Toby Alderweireld’s future far from being certain, Spurs need another centre-back next summer. They have signed Davinson Sanchez from Ajax in 2017 already, and landing another top defender from the same club would be a huge boost for the north Londoners.
It seems they have just received a huge boost concerning their hopes of signing De Ligt.
