Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old defender David Hancko from Eredivisie club Feyenoord.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have made enquiries about 27-year-old Feyenoord central defender David Hancko, and it will be interesting to see if they submit an offer to sign him this month.
The Slovak is valued at €50 million, and Chelsea and Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to step up their interest and get the deal done.
Chelsea need to bring in defensive reinforcements, and the 27-year-old could be a quality player for them. The Slovakian international has shown his quality with Feyenoord, and he will be excited to take the next step in his career and join a bigger club. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could help him with major trophies in the coming seasons.
The Blues need to find quality alternatives to players like Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi. Chelsea have shown great improvement this season, and they will be hoping to secure European qualification. Signing quality players in January will certainly help them finish the season strongly.
Spurs need a central defender
Tottenham have had their fair share of injury problems, and they are lacking in depth in the defensive unit. Signing a quality central defender to support Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven would be ideal.
So, Hancko has emerged as a target for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Chelsea to his signature. The 27-year-old is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining both clubs, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Both clubs have an exciting project and a talented squad. They could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities in English football and push for trophies. The 27-year-old Slovakian defender is at the peak of his powers, and he will hope to secure a move to a big club soon.
Hancko has already proven himself with the touch outfit, and this is the right time for him to take up a new challenge. It will be interesting to see if the English clubs are willing to pay the €50 million asking price for him in the coming days.
