Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga is set to leave the North London club permanently at the end of the season.
According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to sell versatile 25-year-old defender Japhet Tanganga to Millwall in the summer. He does not have a future at the North London club, and it makes sense for Tottenham to sell him and raise some funds from his departure.
Tanganga was highly rated at the club when he broke through to the first team seen under former manager Jose Mourinho. However, the versatile 25-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot, and his development has not gone according to plan.
He needs to leave the club permanently, and joining Millwall would be ideal for him. The Englishman has been on loan at the Championship club, and he is highly rated within the club. He has been a key player for them, and continuing with them beyond this season would be ideal for all parties.
Tottenham need defensive additions
Meanwhile, Tottenham need to bring in defenders of their own, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to dip into the transfer market for a quality central defender. Currently, they have Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin as the reliable central defenders. They have been linked with players like Riccardo Calafiori.
Tottenham need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and signing another central defender should be a top priority for them. It remains to be seen whether Spurs can bring in the right additions during the summer transfer window. Spurs will be hoping to push for trophies next season, and they must look to plug the gaps in their squad.
Meanwhile, the versatile 25-year-old defender will look to continue playing regularly in the coming seasons and fulfil his potential with the English club. He is versatile enough to operate as a right back as well as a central defender. He will be a key player for Millwall in the years to come.
Spurs are currently fifth in the league table, and they are pushing for Champions League qualification for the next season. It will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four. It could help them attract better players.
