Report: Tottenham is in discussions for AZ Alkmaar’s £11M defender

Although Tottenham Hotspur added Ivan Perišić to help improve their left wing-back situation, it seems as though the north London club isn’t done making improvements to a position that was a weak spot for them last season.

Despite the addition of the Croatian and having players like Ryan Sessegnon to play behind him, Spurs are still looking at players who can play left wing-back, and the latest name surfacing is AZ Alkmaar’s Owen Wijndal. 

Foot Mercato reports Tottenham is discussing with the Dutch club to secure the services of the 22-year-old left-back. However, the Premier League club isn’t the only team eyeing the defender, as Olympique Lyonnais, Napoli, and Juventus are also tracking Wijndal. 

When it comes to a possible transfer fee, Transfermarkt puts Wijndal’s value at £11-million and is under contract with AZ Alkmaar until 2024, so there’s no need to sell this summer but the defender is coming off a successful season. 

This past season, the Netherlands international appeared in 43 fixtures, scoring one goal and recording 12 assists.
