Can easily join’: Journalist urges Tottenham to sign ‘complete’ Leeds player to replace £43m man
Voetbal International journalist Suleymen Ozturk says Tottenham Hotspur should sign Leeds United star Pascal Struijk, replacing Micky van de Ven – as quoted by Dutch website Voetbal Zone.
Dutch defender van de Ven has been outstanding for Spurs in the first half of the Premier League season.
However, during the first half against Chelsea on Monday night, he was forced to leave the field with a hamstring injury.
Spurs are lacking cover in midfield and with Cristian Romero currently banned for three matches, it promises to be a difficult time for the London club.
They will certainly look to sign a player in January.
Struijk, meanwhile, was excellent for Leeds.
The 24-year-old has played every minute of our 15 league matches and has captained us for the last five.
He has even scored three goals this season.
Leeds have conceded just 15 goals in those 15 matches, keeping an impressive six clean sheets – no small achievement in a league where the matches are played in quick succession.
Ozturk says Spurs should sign Struijk.
Struijk put Jamie Vardy in his pocket on Friday night,” said Öztürk.
“He was very strong throughout the game, but also very decisive.
I also see that he is very good at playing the ball out from the back.
“He is exactly that.
a complete and mature defender.
Now that Micky van de Ven is injured, I would like to give advice to Ange Postecoglou: Struijk could easily join the defense Tottenham Hotspur,” Ozturk said.
Tottenham are expected to sign Leeds star Pascal Struijk in January .
Struijk will definitely want to stay at Leeds in January.
Van de Ven and Romero will then return to Spurs’ starting line-up and Struijk will ultimately struggle to break into Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side.
Yes, it would be tempting for Spurs if the London club one day decided to follow Ozturk’s advice.
But his playing time will decrease.
Struijk would be much better off if he got us promoted.
Leeds captain Struijk has the chance to become a real hero at Elland Road this season.
He and Tottenham player Joe Rodon played excellently in the heart of the defense.
He is under contract until 2027.
