Tottenham is trying to strengthen its defense. It seems that he is not satisfied with the recruitment of Japanese defender Takai Kota. This time, he is aiming for Burnley defender Maxim Esteve.

British Football Insider reported on the 14th (Korea time) "Burnley will demand a significant amount for the transfer fee of defender Maxim Esteve, which Tottenham Hotspur are aiming for."

Esteve won the Burnley Player of the Year award last season, and his performance helped the team win promotion to the English Premier League (EPL). Esteve is drawing attention from several teams based on his performance.




Currently, Tottenham are negotiating to sign Esteve with Christian Romero's future uncertain. Burnley is demanding at least 50 million pounds (about 93 billion won) for Esteve's transfer fee.

It is unlikely that Tottenham will offer this amount of money, and it is Burnley's side that is advantageous in the negotiations as Esteve is contracted with Burnley until 2029. In addition to Tottenham, Everton and Crystal Palace are interested in Esteve, which could lead to bidding competition with Tottenham.

Amid continued uncertainty over Romero's future, Tottenham are seeking an alternative defender.

Peter O'Rourke of Football Insider "Esteve is a great player. It's no wonder the clubs are interested in him.'Everton has also shown great interest, and now Tottenham are mentioned as a team seeking to recruit him.'

O'Rourke also added "In fact, Tottenham tried to recruit Esteve in the January transfer window, but Burnley didn't want to and now put on a £50m price tag."Tottenham is unlikely to make an offer close to that price, but with Esteve under contract until 2029, Burnley are in a very favorable negotiating position."

"Thanks to the contract period, Burnley can confidently ask for a large amount of money, and that price will force most of the clubs out of office. "If Burnley sells him in this transfer window, it will be a real shock."," he added.




Tottenham's recruitment process has been delayed due to the replacement of its coach this summer. Takai Kota and Mohammed Kudus were recruited to begin reinforcement work in earnest. Recruitment activities are underway to create a squad with UEFA Champions League-class power to coach Frank.

In this situation, some say that spending £50 million to bring in a defender who played in the second division could be an overly bold option.
