Tottenham Hotspur could replace Djed Spence with the Premier League-proven Daniel Munoz in the final two weeks of the window.
Spurs’ focus is on strengthening their attack in the business end of the transfer window, with some sources suggesting the Lilywhites could make three new additions to their forward line before the window slams shut.
Meanwhile, some reports have claimed that Spurs are also scouring the market for a new right-back to replace Djed Spence, with Archie Gray unlikely to be used as Pedro Porro’s primary backup despite playing in that position a lot during pre-season.
Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe revealed last week that Crystal Palace star Daniel Munoz is on the radar of Roberto De Zerbi’s side, with the full-back’s engine and threat in the final third valued highly by the North London club.
Tottenham can sign Daniel Munoz for a relatively discounted fee
TEAMtalk have now confirmed that the Palace star is on Tottenham’s radar in the final weeks of the transfer window.
The report claims that the Eagles are likely to demand £20m-plus for Munoz, who has two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.
While the Colombia international is said to have aspirations of playing for a bigger club, it is pointed out that he would have to sacrifice playing in the Europa League this season should he swap Palace for the Lilywhites.
It is revealed that Tottenham may face some competition for Munoz, who is also on the wishlist of both Everton and Nottingham Forest.
Do Spurs need to sign another right-back?
While Gray may eventually evolve into a top midfielder, the best chance he has of getting a reasonable amount of game time next season is if he serves as Porro’s understudy at right-back.
The youngster has several big names ahead of him in midfield, and with Spurs having no European football, he may struggle to get many starts in his preferred position.
That is why it would not be surprising if Tottenham opt not to sign another full-back to replace Spence before the window slams shut.
