According to CaughtOffside, the race for Lutsharel Geertruida’s signature now appears to be intensifying, with Inter Milan and Bayer Leverkusen also entering the race for the Feyenoord star but Tottenham have now stepped up their efforts to sign the player.
On Sunday, The Daily Mirror handed Tottenham a boost by stating that Liverpool are having second thoughts about a move for Geertruida and claiming that the Lilywhites had moved into pole position to land the defender ahead of the Reds and Paris Saint-Germain.
CaughOffside have now claimed that Spurs have offered a contract to the right-back, who is currently with the Netherlands squad at the Euros.
The report also credits Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan with a keen interest in the Feyenoord star.
However, it is explained that Ange Postecoglou’s men want to ensure that the Dutchman arrives in N17 to replace Emerson Royal, who is expected to seal his departure from Hotspur Way.
The outlet adds that Spurs ‘seem to be advancing’ in their pursuit of the 23-year-old over the last few days.
According to the update, Feyenoord want around €20m-€25m (£17m-£21.1m) for Geertruida, with Spurs prepared to offer him a long-term contract running until 2029 or 2030.
