Tottenham Hotspur has a plan. The plan is to sign Maximilian Kilman from Wolverhampton Wanderers through the summer transfer window.
On the 27th (Korean time), reporter Ben Jacobs, who works for ‘CBS Sports’ in the United States, asked about Tottenham’s future recruitment plan, “(Tottenham) will prioritize center backs in the summer. Pay attention to Kilman in the upcoming transfer market. Do it,” he replied.
Tottenham’s biggest concern is defense. Tottenham conceded 31 goals this season, ranking sixth in the league for the most goals conceded. Considering that the teams that have conceded more goals than Tottenham are all in the mid-lower ranks below 13th place, you can see how serious Tottenham’s defense is.
It’s not just a tactical issue. Tottenham is playing the ‘deep defense’ that is unique to manager Antonio Conte this season, but it is not functioning properly. The lack of individual skills of centre-backs such as Eric Dyer, Davinson Sanchez and Clément Lenglet also contributes to Tottenham’s slump.
As a result, Tottenham searched for center back resources. All of the players who have been performing well recently, such as Conte’s pupils Milan Shkriniar, Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Frey, Axel Disassi, and Kim Min-jae, were all linked to Tottenham. However, none of these defenders have been negotiated in earnest yet.
There is no plan to reinforce the central defense this winter. England’s ‘The Boot Room’ said on the 27th, “Tottenham will not sign a new center back in this transfer window. It seems that the right wingback and striker, with Pedro Poro as their top priority, were the priority in January.” It was expected that the combination of
There will be no ‘big signing’ next summer either. This is because reporter Jacobs mentioned Wolverhampton’s Kilman as a player close to Tottenham. Kilman is a 192 cm left-footed center back who has risen to the starting lineup in the 2021-22 season and guards Wolverhampton’s rear with sophisticated feet and quick cover. The fact that there is no need to adapt to the league is also a good factor. 온라인바카라
However, it is true that the name value is lower than expected. Coach Conte wanted to sign a player who could steadily increase the value of Tottenham. Kilman is Wolverhampton’s main player, but given that he has no European experience (one playoff game), it cannot be said that Tottenham, who wants to continue to play in the Champions League, is a 100% satisfactory recruit.
