Thomas Frank urged Tottenham to sign £43m Sporting star and the door may now be open

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Sporting Lisbon star Morten Hjulmand may have just got a little bit more straightforward ahead of the summer.

While Tottenham have some extremely talented young midfielders in Pape Sarr, Archie Gray, and Lucas Bergvall, the experienced duo of Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur have been scrutinised for their performances this season.

That is an area that Tottenham Hotspur may look to upgrade this summer, and the Lilywhites could turn a long-term midfield target.
