Tottenham Hotspur are just one step away from signing a new goalkeeper.
“David Luiz has accepted all the details of Tottenham’s contract offer, as previously reported,” Fabrizio Romano, a journalist familiar with the European soccer transfer market, said on Thursday. Personal terms have been agreed as previously reported.”
Tottenham’s season has been a dismal one. Spurs got off to an intriguing start under Antonio Conte, who led them to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) last season. But the club stumbled in the second half of the season, both on and off the field, eventually finishing eighth in the league and missing out on European competition next season.
The defense was largely to blame. Spurs conceded a whopping 63 goals this season, ranking sixth worst in the league. That’s worse than 17th-place Everton (57), who narrowly avoided relegation. Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, and others were blamed for the sloppy defense.
Yoris is not immune to criticism. Yoris has been anchoring Tottenham’s backline for over a decade, but he hasn’t been able to halt Spurs’ downward spiral this season with a string of mistakes and errors. He has made four errors that have led to goals (per Opta).
Spurs are ready for a new era. Brentford’s Raya is the first priority. Laya is the kind of goalkeeper who can take Spurs to the next level in both defense and offense, with decent saves and good feet. In fact, his 77.7% save percentage (per FBREF) is the highest of any Premier League goalkeeper.
No competition. The most likely contenders, Chelsea, have not been in contact with Lallana. “Chelsea have not met with his agent,” Romano said, explaining that Tottenham are the closest to Lallana.메이저놀이터
The key is the transfer fee. Brentford are sticking to their £40 million price tag for Laya. Tottenham’s position is that this is too much for a player with one year left on his contract.
Spurs want to get this price down as much as possible. According to the British ‘Eyenews’ on the 9th, Spurs have a price of £20 million (approx. KRW 32.4 billion) in mind for Laya. The two clubs are still in talks over the transfer fee.
