Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. The 22-year-old Cameroonian International has impressed in the Premier League, and he is on the radar of Liverpool and Manchester United, as per TEAMtalk. Spurs are monitoring his situation closely, but a January move seems unlikely. The player will cost around 80-87 million. It seems that Tottenham are lining up a summer move for the talented young midfielder. They need more defensive steel and drive in the middle of the park.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a winter move for Udinese centre-back Oumar Soulet. The club wants fresh competition for the Micky van de VenCristian Romero pairing, and speculation around a possible Radu Dragusin exit is pushing Spurs to add depth at the back. Oumar Soulet stands out in Serie A for his consistent displays, strong physical profile and ability to cope with high-tempo games. Solet has been linked with Aston Villa in the past.
Liverpool need a quality alternative to Ibrahima Konate, who will be out of contract at the end of the season. He has not signed an extension with the club, and Liverpool need to start planning for alternatives. The Netherlands International could be ideal for them. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Liverpool have a strong Dutch contingent at the club, and they could play a key role in convincing the player to join.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa. The 21-year-old has been excellent since he moved to Portugal, and he scored 27 goals last season. Aghehowa has been in spectacular form this season as well, finding the back of the net 18 times in all competitions. He has the ability to compete at the highest level, and moving to the Premier League would be ideal for him.
"It feels great to be here, I got goosebumps when I put on the shirt," Wijk said. "It has always been my dream to move abroad from Sweden and play in this league. "I love the league and I watched it a lot from home, so I'm really looking forward to playing here in England, and also for Spurs."
According to a report from Bild (as captured by Get German Football News), Real Madrid could be a major contender for Borussia Dortmund center-back Nico Schlotterbeck. Of course, Bayern Munich has been closely linked to Schlotterbeck as well, which could make for a transfer battle. Real Madrid could even attempt to lower the requested fee for the center-back by proposing a swap deal ( Author's Note: You know how much we love rumored swap deals here):
I don't think it's for me, they fight and they battle because they want to be a good team. They fight for each other, for the club, the staff, and the fans most importantly. I liked the character and mentality in team today, there is so much to improve but you need to have that in the Premier League, especially away from home.
Then going to Spurs, I look at it in the sense of you buy a new car, and I felt like I was just in a garage for four years, where I wasn't used. Now it's like I'm fresh (and) with Leeds. The last three years have been non-stop, but I feel fresh. It's like I'm catching up on things I missed through that period.
