Tottenham Hotspur has been linked with a move for the Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo in recent weeks.

The 26-year-old defender has been linked with a move away from Barcelona, and multiple English clubs are keen on him. Chelsea are interested in the player as well. 

Can Spurs convince Ronald Araujo?

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done in the coming months. They have already failed with an offer to sign the player. According to a report from Spanish publication SPORT (via SportWitness), the defender has rejected multiple offers. 

The report claims that clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham have tabled offers to sign the player, but the defender has turned them down. It will be interesting to see if they can convince him to join the club in the coming months. 

There is no doubt that he would be a quality acquisition for Tottenham. They could use another top-quality defender, and the 26-year-old would be ideal. He has shown his quality in Spain, and he has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England as well. He is capable of operating as a central defender as well as a full back. 

Araujo would be an excellent signing

Araujo has been hailed as “extraordinary” in the past. It would be a masterstroke for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done. He has the quality and the versatility to help them improve. 

It will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition for his signature. The player is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact in the Premier League. Tottenham will need players of his quality and experience if they want to fight for major trophies.
