Tottenham one of three clubs preparing an offer for £40m midfielder in January
Tottenham Hotspur are primed to advance on an experienced central midfielder, who is thought to be keen on returning to the Premier League in January.
Several sources have claimed that Spurs are prioritising the signing of players with Premier League experience in January, and a former Wolves player is thought to be on their radar.
It emerged last month that Tottenham are exploring bringing Ruben Neves back to England, but the Lilywhites are not the only ones interested in the player.
Man United and Newcastle are battling Spurs for the former Wolves man, and another club have now allegedly entered the race.
Tottenham one of three clubs readying offers for Ruben Neves
A new report in Sabah (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now claimed that Galatasaray have now entered the race for the 28-year-old, whose contract at Al-Hilal is set to run out next summer.
The outlet claims that the midfielder is ‘ready to leave Saudi Arabia’ in the upcoming transfer window.
However, it is explained that Galatasaray face a ‘significant and strong competition’ from Tottenham, Man United and Newcastle for Neves.
The Red Devils are said to be particularly keen on the Portugal international, and it is claimed that all three English sides are ‘preparing offers’ for the player.
Spurs have already spoken to Neves
This report follows another update from TEAMtalk a few days ago, which claimed that Neves’ camp has already spoken to Tottenham and other European sides over a January move.
The outlet explained that despite attracting interest from around Europe, returning to the Premier League is the midfielder’s preference.
It was asserted that Thomas Frank’s men are long-time admirers of Neves and Al-Hilal are ready to cash in, as they do not want to risk losing the player on a free next summer.
