Tottenham 'join Newcastle in the race to sign Crystal Palace star Joachim Andersen' with Roy Hodgson slapping a £50million price tag on the highly-rated Danish defender

Tottenham are reportedly prepared to rival Newcastle in a bid to sign Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen this summer.

Andersen earned admirers from across the Premier League with his performances in the heart of the Eagles defence last season.

The former Lyon star built a strong partnership with Marc Guehi as a returning Roy Hodgson comfortably guided the club to a mid-table finish while suffering just two defeats in their last ten Premier League games.

Brentford made an enquiry to sign Andersen last month, with the Bees' £20m valuation said to be significantly lower than Palace's asking price.
