Central defence is clearly an area where Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo is looking to address first and foremost this summer.
In fact, the Daily Mail claims that Nuno’s two priority signings are a centre-back and a right-back.
Tottenham have already been linked with a whole host of central defenders.
And now there is a new one who’s been added to the list.
Tottenham hold Vestergaard talks
The 28-year-old Saints defender is on Spurs’ radar according to the Daily Mail. And he would be a very useful addition for Tottenham.
The Dane was in top form for Southampton last season.
In 30 Premier League appearances for the south coast club, Vestergaard averaged 1.7 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and four clearances per game. He also won an average of 3.3 aerial duels per match.
The Southampton ace is a great organiser and relishes the physical battle with opposing players.
The Saints want at least £18 million for the 28-year-old according to The Times. That seems like very good value for Tottenham therefore Daniel Levy should be happy to pay the money needed to bring the Dane to North London this summer.
