Tottenham ready to step up interest in 'exceptional' Liverpool star to address key issue
"Tottenham have admired the 24-year-old for several seasons, recognising his technical quality, versatility, and creativity in midfield. However, Liverpool and manager Arne Slot still view Jones as a key part of their long-term project, making any potential deal extremely difficult. Jones, a boyhood Liverpool supporter, has spoken openly about his desire to follow in the footsteps of his idol Steven Gerrard by spending the entirety of his career at Anfield."
"Despite signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid earlier in the January transfer window, Tottenham's midfield issues persist. Injuries have exposed significant gaps in Ange Postecoglou's squad, forcing the club to explore additional reinforcements. The latest setback involves Joao Palhinha, who suffered a fitness blow that could rule him out for several weeks. Meanwhile, Rodrigo Bentancur faces an extended spell on the sidelines, leaving Tottenham short of stability and depth in central areas."
Tottenham maintain a long-term interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones but have not made a formal approach to Liverpool. Spurs value Jones's technical ability, versatility, and creativity. Liverpool and manager Arne Slot consider Jones integral to their long-term project and would only consider an extraordinary bid. Jones progressed through Liverpool's academy, became a regular first-team contributor, and is a highly valued homegrown asset. Tottenham's midfield suffers injuries to Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur, exposing gaps despite signing Conor Gallagher. Spurs continue to seek midfield reinforcements to add creativity, ball progression, and goal threat.
