Tottenham Hotspur seeks to improve their defensive unit this summer, and they identified Maxime Esteve from Burnley as a target, according to the team.
The 23 -year -old was exceptional for Burnley in the championship, and he played a decisive role in their promotion push. It will be interesting to see if the Clarets are ready to sanction his departure.
Tottenham could lose Cristian Romero during the summer window, and they have to replace it. South American was an essential asset for them, and they need a quality player to fill the void left by him.
Meanwhile, the defender was also linked to Crystal Palace.
Maxime Esteve would be a quality signature
Esteve has shown its capacity in the second division of English football, and it also has the attributes to succeed in the Premier League. Tottenham tried to sign the player during the January transfer window, and had an offer of around 24 million euros refused for the player.
Burnley wanted 35 million euros for the defender at the time. It will be interesting to see if they are ready to sell the player for a reasonable amount of money this summer. The opportunity to join the Spurs will be very exciting for him, and he will seek to join the club in northern London. They will be able to offer him football in the Champions League and the platform to fight for trophies.
Tottenham needs to improve their team
Tottenham had a disappointing campaign in the Premier League last year, and they finished near the relegation area. They will seek to bounce strongly and they need quality players. Improving the defensive unit should be one of the priorities.
It will be interesting to see if they can convince Burnley to sell the player. It would be a major blow for the newly promoted team if they lose their best defender this summer.
