Tottenham is reviewing several players to recruit an offensive midfielder.

Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, revealed the new recruitment candidates Tottenham is aiming for on his personal YouTube channel on the 28th (Korea time).

"Today, Tottenham began to contact Lucas Paqueta's agent. Paqueta is one of Tottenham's candidates to recruit an attacking midfielder. Paqueta wants to leave West Ham United. Tottenham are considering the terms of signing Paqueta. It is not yet close to completing the negotiations, nor is the deal close at all, but Paqueta is one of Tottenham's options. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future. Saudi Arabia is also interested in Paqueta, but his priority is to remain in Europe."




Tottenham wanted to add an attacking midfielder throughout this summer's transfer window. The player I originally wanted was Morgan Gibbs-White. Gibbs-White looked like he would be recruited, but his recruitment was ultimately canceled as Tottenham's recruitment method from Nottingham Forest was illegal.

The second target after Gibbs-White was Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace. Tottenham ended the deal on all issues except for the method of paying the transfer fee. But in the final round of negotiations, he failed to meet Palace. Arsenal then participated in the war and intercepted Eze. Tottenham, which has already failed to recruit twice, is in contact with several players.

The third player he wanted was Nico Paz, a promising player from Como 1907, but both Como and Nico rejected Tottenham's offer, so it was canceled in a short time. The player considered as the fourth target is Paqueta. Paqueta grew up in the Brazilian prestigious Flamengo and entered Europe in 2019 when he moved to AC Milan. Paqueta, who left for Olympique Lyon after a year, emerged as the best attacking midfielder in the French league in Lyon.

Parketa, who joined West Ham in the 2022-2023 season, has become a key player in the team. Originally, it was a player that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola wanted, but the deal was suspended due to controversy over match fixing. Paqueta pleaded not guilty and was finally acquitted in July.

Paqueta is a Brazilian player with technical skills, but he is an attacking midfielder with activity, determination, and sincerity. He is versatile enough to play as a central midfielder and winger, so he is expected to be a big boost to Tottenham's power. It is also a variable whether West Ham will give up Paqueta at the end of the transfer market.




Romano also explained that Tottenham are using a two-track strategy. He added "Tottenham want Xavi Simmons. I've been interested since about 10 to 15 days ago. At the time, Chelsea were in negotiations. Tottenham are still interested in Simmons, but will not make an official offer if Chelsea continue to negotiate. If Chelsea fail to close the Simmons deal, Tottenham plan to take action. For now, Chelsea is Simmons' most likely destination."
