Liverpool and Tottenham are considering a move for Joachim Anderson despite only joining Fulham back in the summer window.
According to Caught Offside, Joachim Andersen emerges as a target for both Liverpool and Tottenham ahead of the winter window. The Premier League giants are monitoring the Danish international’s situation at Fulham despite only signing for the Cottagers back in the summer window.
Joachim Andersen was a strange transfer back in the summer. He chose to leave Crystal Palace for a new adventure at his former side, Fulham. Marco Silva was convinced the defender would be ideal for his system, so the Cottagers paid £30 million to re-sign the centre-back.
Fulham have had an excellent start to the season, with Andersen now firmly settled in that central defence alongside Calvin Bassey. Silva views him as a key star in his project and will not entertain the prospect of selling him. Juventus are reportedly interested as they continue to search for a replacement signing for the injured Gleison Bremer.
The wider expectation is that he will remain a Fulham player beyond the January window, having signed a five-year contract with the club in the summer. Moreover, the Cottagers’ investment will see them demand significantly more should they choose to sell him in January.
While all fingers point at a potential stay, exit links refuse to go away, as Liverpool and Tottenham are the latest teams to show an interest in the player. They will have to convince Fulham about a deal, although, given the circumstances, any move will be extremely difficult in the January window.
Liverpool and Tottenham interested in Andersen
Liverpool are in the market for a new defender, given the uncertainty around Virgil van Dijk’s future and their need to bring in another player at the back. The 28-year-old star has plenty of experience in the Premier League and could be an excellent mid-term option for the club to consider in what could be a period of transition under new boss Arne Slot.
Tottenham, on the other hand, lacks experience in the back, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven lacking that. They are well-equipped at the back, although they are keen to recruit a new defender in January. However, the potential asking price for Andersen that Fulham could demand will be very difficult to comprehend for Spurs should they make their interest concrete in the 28-year-old star.
