Tottenham Target Liverpool’s Curtis Jones Amid Midfield Injury Crisis
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to reliable Merseyside reporter Paul Joyce.
Spurs appear to be in the market for a new midfielder, despite already bringing in Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid earlier in the January transfer window. Tottenham’s injury troubles might accelerate their plans to add further bodies in the middle of the park, with Joao Palhinha the latest player to suffer a fitness blow.
Rodrigo Bentancur has been ruled out for an extended period, leaving Thomas Frank short of options in midfield. Spurs are also without the likes of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who are alternative, more attacking options for Frank. As a result of their injury woes, we could see them dip further into the market this month.
Tottenham Eyeing Liverpool Midfielder
According to journalist Joyce, who is one of the most reliable reporters when it comes to transfer news on Merseyside, Tottenham are one of the teams interested in signing midfielder Jones. Joyce has hinted that Jones might be feeling that it is time to become more of a guaranteed starter as well, perhaps opening the door for Spurs to make a move to secure his signature.
The English midfielder, described as ‘complete’ by Arne Slot, is undoubtedly one of the best up-and-coming players in the Premier League, but with Liverpool regularly spending big, he’s far from a guaranteed starter. Tottenham could certainly be in the market for another midfielder despite the arrival of Gallagher, considering their current injury struggles, while the north London club are also battling in the bottom half of the Premier League table, meaning reinforcements might be necessary to turn things around.
It’s an Important Window for Tottenham
It’s an incredibly important January transfer window for Tottenham, and they desperately need to get things right. For a club of their stature, they can’t be competing in the bottom half of the table, and although manager Frank takes a portion of the blame, the board need to back him with new additions to help bolster the squad.
If Spurs fail to qualify for Europe this season, it could have huge financial implications on the club, and will also hamper their efforts to sign elite-level players in the future. A change of manager might solve things, but reinforcements will also be hugely beneficial.
