Spurs Web Opinion
Andersen certainly fits the profile of signings Tottenham usually go for. Not only would he come relatively cheaply and but he has the potential to improve over the next few years. He has demonstrated this season that he can cope with the physicality and pace of the Premier League.
However, our main weakness at the back seems to be our inability to deal with crosses into the box and I am not sure Andersen would be the answer to that problem. I would expect us to potentially be in the market for another aerially dominant centre-back along with Andersen.
