Tottenham are set to challenge the Manchester City and Arsenal in the race to sign AC Milan-linked midfielder Ardon Jashari from Belgian club Club Brugge.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Ardan Jashari is a player that Tottenham admire and are ready to take advantage of his recent transfer situation. The Swiss midfielder has been likened to Declan Rice, as Spurs look to beat Arsenal and Manchester City for the Club Brugge star.
Jashari’s name has been doing the rounds in the transfer circles for several weeks now. AC Milan have been chasing the midfielder since the start of the window, although they have not managed to agree on a fee with Club Brugge for the Swiss star, even though he wants to join them.
AC Milan’s latest offer amounted to £32 million, and if they cannot agree the move with Club Brugge, the Rossoneri might move on. A few Premier League sides are already looking to make their move for the 22-year-old midfielder from Belgian club, with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest named as suitors to sign Ardon Jashari.
Sticking with Spurs, Thomas Frank wants a new presence in his midfield, and Jashari, likened to Declan Rice, could be the ideal choice. Tottenham have been linked with Adam Wharton recently, as they are prepared to let go of Yves Bissouma if the right offer arrives.
Meanwhile, Spurs are not alone, as Arsenal and Manchester City have heavily scouted the midfielder in the past. However, those two giants do not particularly need midfield reinforcements, having already done their work in the transfer window to strengthen that position.
Tottenham could swoop for Ardon Jashari
Tottenham are likely to make a push for Jashari, who might end up costing way more than AC Milan’s latest £32 million offer. Whether Spurs are willing to invest heavily in a young midfielder remains to be seen, as they have pushed to bring some young stars in recent windows and spent big sums in the process.
As for Ardon Jashari, the stance from Club Brugge will also prove important. The Belgians have not indicated their willingness to part ways with the 22-year-old midfielder, with the Swiss star still seen as a key component for the season ahead.
