Report: Tottenham are eyeing two attacking midfielders who featured at the Euros

CaughtOffside report that Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov and Fenerbahce star Sebastian Szymanski are both on Tottenham’s radar as the North London club looks to replace Giovani Lo Celso.

Tottenham want a new attacking midfielder

The report backs up what we have heard from various sources over recent months by revealing that Lo Celso is on his way out of Hotspur Way.

The Argentine is said to be of interest to both Valencia and Real Betis, with Spurs now ready to listen to offers for the player.

The Lilywhites are now thought to be on the lookout for a replacement for the 28-year-old, with Sudakov and Szymanski both alleged to be high on their list.

Spurs like Sudakov and Szymanski

The outlet reveals that while the Ukrainian has been a target for Tottenham for a while, the Poland international was scouted extensively by Ange Postecoglou’s men recently, with the 25-year-old said to be available for a fee of around €25m-€30m.

However, it is explained that a deal for either player will not be easy to pull off as Fenerbahce are not keen to sell Szymanski while Shakhtar have a reputation for being tough negotiators.

Finally, the publication adds that Spurs would need to sell some players before they are able to buy and would thus first have to offload Lo Celso before pressing ahead with a move for an attacking midfielder.

If Ange is indeed planning on replacing Lo Celso with a low-cost squad option like this report suggests, that is perhaps evidence that the Tottenham boss views Eberechi Eze as an option for the number eight role rather than the number ten position.

Either way, it appears Spurs need to sell Lo Celso before they can make a move for their first-choice.
