Tottenham have been linked with Sebastian Szymanski
The report says that Ange Postecoglou is eyeing a revamp of Spurs’ midfield ahead of the new season and the Australian wants to add an ‘all-action midfielder’ to his squad.
One of the players thought to be on the Lilywhites’ radar is Szymanski, who had an outstanding 2022-23 season, with 13 goals and 19 assists in all competitions for Fenerbahce.
The attacking midfielder is currently with the Poland squad at the Euros but GiveMeSport alleges that Tottenham could soon make a big move to poach him from Istanbul.
Jose Mourinho wants to keep Szymanski
It is explained that Mourinho is keen to keep the 26-year-old a the club and Spurs would thus have to stump up a decent fee to sign the player.
According to the report, a bid of around £30m would be required for the North London side to prise Szymanski away from Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
The publication adds that Tottenham are not the only ones eyeing a move for the midfielder, who is also of interest to both Lazio and Marseille.
Spurs Web Opinion
This is not the first we are hearing of Tottenham’s interest in Szymanski and the Lilywhites may be eyeing him as a potential replacement for Giovani Lo Celso, who is expected to depart N17.
However, one would think that if Spurs are successful in their pursuit of Weston McKennie, they are unlikely to push ahead with a move for the Fenerbahce star.
