Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 22-year-old Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup, a target for Liverpool.
A report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Tottenham are looking to raid Serie A club Genoa once again for Morten Frendrup. The 22-year-old midfielder is a target for Premier League rivals Liverpool as well.
Morten Frendrup on the Rise
The Denmark international has done quite well for the Serie A club. So, it is no surprise that his performances have caught the attention of Liverpool and the North London club.
Tottenham need to bring in midfield reinforcements, especially with some of their key players heading to the Africa Cup of Nations for the next few weeks. In addition, they could lose Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this month as well. The 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the North London club and he has been linked with a January exit.
Frendrup could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Genoa to sell the 22-year-old this month. They have recently agreed on a deal for Romanian defender Radu Dragusin and the Serie A outfit might not want to cell another key player in the same month.
The 22-year-old midfielder will add defensive cover and physicality to the Tottenham midfield. He could prove to be a quality long-term addition to Liverpool as well.
Liverpool Also Want Morten Frendrup
Liverpool failed to bring in a defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window, and they need to improve in that area. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Tottenham and secure his signature in the coming weeks.
Tottenham have recently negotiated a transfer with Genoa, and they will feel that they have amicable terms with the Italian club. They will certainly fancy their chances of beating their Premier League rivals to the 22-year-old midfielder’s signature.
The talented young midfielder will certainly be tempted to join a big Premier League club, and a move to Tottenham would allow him to showcase his qualities at high level. If Liverpool and Spurs can agree on a fee in the coming weeks, a transfer should be pretty straightforward.
