Tottenham want to raid relegation rivals for £70m centre-back this summer

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for a 23-year-old Premier League centre-back, but they will have to break the bank to land him.

Some at Tottenham are panicked about the possibility of losing Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero in the summer, with both players on the radars of several top clubs across Europe.

It has been reported that Van de Ven is keen on playing Champions League football regularly, and clubs are thus queuing up to prise him away from the Lilywhites.
