Reports indicate that Tottenham is keen on acquiring a promising midfielder to enhance their squad, although they may face tough competition for his services.
Pavel Sulc, a 23-year-old midfielder from the Czech Republic, currently represents Viktoria Plzen in his home country’s premier league and is anticipated to make a significant move to a top European league soon.
Last season, Sulc excelled as he netted 22 goals and provided eight assists from his attacking midfield role. In the current season, he has already tallied six goals and three assists, attracting interest from numerous clubs.
According to TBRFootball, Tottenham is among the clubs interested in Sulc, with Premier League rivals like Aston Villa also taking notice.
Tottenham’s head coach Ange Postecoglou is likely looking to strengthen the midfield, especially with several players including Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso having moved on.
Meanwhile, attempts to sign high-profile players such as Ederson from Serie A’s Atalanta haven’t materialized.
Current Standing of Tottenham
Despite finishing fifth last season and scoring 14 goals in their first seven matches, Spurs find themselves mid-table, lagging behind early leaders Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal.
Potential Departure of Pavel Sulc
Viktoria Plzen’s coach Miroslav Koubek has mentioned that he wouldn’t block Sulc’s exit if a substantial offer arises, suggesting that a transfer in January is possible.
His exceptional skills and impact on games have garnered attention from various European clubs.
Clubs Interested in Signing Pavel Sulc
In addition to Tottenham and Aston Villa, other teams such as Man City, Napoli, Atalanta, Marseille, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen have expressed interest in Sulc, sending scouts to observe his performances in the Czech Republic.
Tottenham will resume their Premier League campaign post-international break, facing West Ham on Saturday, October 19.
