According to a report by Sabah, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on having Victor Nelsson in their ranks ahead of next season.
Spurs are keen on bolstering their squad ahead of next season and one of their priorities is to improve their defence.
The London club struggled throughout last season, they failed to live up to the expectations and end their trophy drought.
One of their major concerns last season was their defence. And, their new manager Ange Postecoglou wants to make sure
that they resolve the issues before the next season gets underway.
The Australian manager is keen on reinforcement in the centre of the park and has his eyes set on Galatasaray’s Victor
Nelsson. The 24-year-old has gone from strength to strength since making the move to Turkey back in the summer of 2021.
The Danish international has hardly put a foot wrong and has been closely followed by the English club. And, now they are
looking to try their best to land him at the club ahead of next season.
The 24-year-old defender’s contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026. However, he is expected to be on the move
in the ongoing season given the amount of interest in his services.
Meanwhile, Erden Timur the vice-president of the Turkish club recently met Spurs, one of the clubs who are keen on having
Nelsson in their ranks. And, this is where the new proposal has come out of Davinson Sánchez being part of the deal.
Timur is interested in having the 27-year-old at his club’s disposal next season and wants him to be involved in a part
exchange that will see Nelsson make the move to London.
However, he is not looking for a player exchange deal, he is looking for a player plus cash deal as they value the Denmark
international at around €25 million. And, the final value of the deal is expected to be Sanchez plus cash.
The Colombian international has been inconsistent over the past few seasons and with his contract running out in 12 months
time, they might not have an issue letting him leave.

£15m Tottenham player skins Pedro Porro in pre-season training
Tottenham Hotspur’s Destiny Udogie caught the attention of fans in Australia when he skinned Pedro Porro in pre-season
training.
The clip was shared on Twitter and showed the 20-year-old turn Pedro Porro at lightning speed.
The Italian full-back has now arrived at Spurs following his season-long loan at Udinese in a deal that cost the club £15 million.
Spurs fans will be excited to see the youngster get first-team chances under new manager Ange Postecoglou in the coming
weeks.
Udogie isn’t an obvious fit for Postecoglou’s preferred 4-3-3, given he’s played at left-wing back for the majority of his career,
but he will compete with the likes of Ben Davies for the spot.
The 20-year-old has eight caps for Italy’s Under 21s and played 33 games for Udinese in the Serie A last season scoring three
goals and registering four assists.
Udogie needs to impress Tottenham in pre-season
One of Udogie’s caps for Italy’s Under 21s came at the recent Under-21 European Championships, at which he didn’t
impress.
The wing-back was at fault for France’s last-minute winner in the opening game and then didn’t feature in their next two
before they crashed out of the tournament.
However, with a need to impress his new manager in pre-season, Udogie was reportedly willing to cut his summer holiday
short to come back to Spurs training sooner.
With competition for places at Spurs looking strong this season, especially at full-back, Udogie won’t do himself any harm by
impressing in Australia.
Pedro Porro, beneficiary of Udogie’s skill above, will also have a point to prove under the new manager given he’s also
predominantly seen as a wing-back.
The 23-year-old joined Spurs from Sporting Lisbon at the start of last summer for a fee of £40 million and did impress in his
attacking bursts, but may need to improve defensively under Ange.
The legacy of a squad built for Conte’s 3-4-3 will be a tricky challenge for Postecoglou as he starts life at the club.
