Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Dutch international defender Perr Schuurs.
According to Orazio Accomando, Tottenham are willing to make a move for the 23-year-old defender this summer and they could submit an offer to his club and the player.
Schuurs joined Torino last summer and he has been a key player for them so far. Apparently, the defender is not pushing for a move and he’s focused on the season ahead.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the player to join them this summer.
It is no secret that Tottenham need to bring in defensive reinforcements and the Dutchman could prove to be a solid, long-term investment.
He has shown his quality in the Eredivisie and in the Italian league. He is certainly good enough to play in the Premier League as well.
Apparently, Crystal Palace have been trying to sign the defender for a while and they have a verbal agreement with the player as well.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs can hijack the move and convince him to move to north London instead.
Spurs have conceded 63 goals in the league last season and they will have to improve defensively if they want to get back into the Champions League.
Schuurs could form a quality partnership with Cristian Romero at the heart of Tottenham’s defence next season.
The 23-year-old is still quite young, and he is likely to improve with coaching experience in the coming season. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham with the right coaching and experience.

Tottenham to finalize transfer of Micky van de Ven, but backs off from Edmond Tapsoba
Tottenham Hotspur appear to have made their choice for a new first choice central defender. Multiple outlets, including David Ornstein in The Athletic, that Spurs are on the verge of completing the signing of Wolfsburg CB Micky Van de Ven. The transfer fee is said to be, while perhaps a little higher than Spurs had hoped, still reasonable.
The transfer is not yet fully complete, but it’s said to be in the final stages of negotiation with details such as number and length of installments to be decided.
But this imminent signing of Van de Ven comes at the expense of Spurs’ continued pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba. Indeed, the Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick writes that Spurs have “cooled” their interest in Tapsoba, opting to pursue a permanent deal for Van de Ven. There had been talk that Spurs were hopeful they could compete deals for both, but Bayer had been demanding upwards of £50m for a player with four years left on his contract.
It’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the transfer front while Spurs traveled and returned from their preseason tour, but the news has hotted up significantly over the past few days. Spurs are also on the verge of signing 19-year old Argentina U20 international striker Alejo Veliz for a fee of around £18m.
Does this sudden flurry of transfer activity suggest something is afoot with Harry Kane? Well, that’s another article.
