Report: Tottenham planning to make £12m bid for Dutch midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur ended their Premier League campaign in 5th place, barely missing out on a Champions League spot by just a couple of points.
In the upcoming transfer window, Spurs will aim to address the squad’s weaknesses and make necessary improvements.
The Lilywhites are eager to bolster their midfield this summer, aiming to add depth to their squad.
Recent reports indicate that the North London outfit are targeting Stoke City’s defensive midfielder Wouter Burger.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to make a £12 million bid to bring Netherlands U21 international to the English top flight.
Burger joined Stoke City last season from FC Basel, where he was transferred for a fee of €5 million.
The former Feyenoord academy player has been a regular feature under Steven Schumacher in the Championship this season.
Despite Stoke narrowly avoiding relegation, Burger has impressed in his debut season, making 39 appearances and starting 31 of them. He has also contributed with 3 goals and 4 assists. (Transfermarkt)
Spurs’ interest in the 23-year-old is solid, but they face competition from Sheffield United and two other Premier League clubs reportedly vying for Burger’s signature.
The Dutch midfielder is under contract with Stoke City until June 2027, giving him over three years remaining on his current deal.
With a current market value of €5 million, the young midfielder’s affordable price tag and potential to excel in the top tier make him an appealing option for the Lilywhites.
