Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for 24-year-old AS Roma defender Roger Ibanez once again.
A report from Roma Giallorossa claims that Tottenham have rekindled their interest in signing Roger Ibanez. The 24-year-old Brazilian defender is likely to cost around €25 million in the ongoing transfer window.
Ibanez has been an important player for Roma and Jose Mourinho. However, the Italian club are willing to sanction his departure for the right price. The reported €25 million asking price is certainly affordable for a club like Tottenham, and they should look to get the deal done.
Spurs were quite vulnerable defensively last season, and they ended up conceding 63 goals in the league. They will have to improve at the back if they want to do well next season and get back into the Champions League once again.
Their newly-appointed manager Ange Postecoglou prefers attacking football and he will need a solid, defensive base in his aside. The likes of Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez were quite error-prone last season, and Tottenham must look to bring in a reliable defender who can partner Cristian Romero.
Widespread reports have linked Tottenham with centre-backs like Clement Lenglet, Micky van de Ven, and Edmond Tapsoba. But Ibanez also features on their radar, and he is a viable target for the North London club.
The Brazilian certainly has the qualities to excel in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Tottenham in the coming season. The reported €25 million asking price could prove to be a bargain if Ibanez manages to fulfil his potential with Tottenham.
The Brazilian defender is still only 24 and is likely to improve with coaching experience. He is yet to reach his peak years, and Postecoglou could help develop in the coming season. The Australian manager has a reputation for nurturing talented players, and he will look to get the best out of Ibanez if the Brazilian joins Tottenham.
It is evident that a defensive signing is a top priority for Tottenham now. So it will be interesting to see who they end up signing. All of the aforementioned defenders could improve Tottenham at the back next season.
