Report: Tottenham make enquiry to sign 'great' La Liga player in January

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing the Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. 

The 33-year-old is no longer an indispensable asset for the Spanish club, and he needs to move on to play regularly. According to a report via Fichajes, Tottenham have made enquiries to sign the player ahead of the January window. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona are prepared to sanction his departure.

The report claims that they could be willing to let him move on if he requests a transfer. A potential loan deal with an option to buy has been mentioned in the report.

Spurs could use Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Tottenham could certainly use a quality goalkeeper, and the German Internation would be an exceptional acquisition. He has proved his quality at the highest level with club and country. He has won multiple major trophies throughout his career, and he could prove to be an upgrade on Guglielmo Vicario. He has been hailed as a “great goalkeeper” in the past.

The Italian international has impressed at Tottenham, but he can be quite inconsistent. More competition for places could be ideal. It would help the north London club improve as a team.

If they can sign the 33-year-old German on loan with an option to buy, it would be a low-cost acquisition, and it would help them improve. Meanwhile, clubs like Manchester United are on the player as well. Tottenham should look to act quickly in order to get the deal done.

Exciting challenge for Ter Stegen
