Tottenham is reportedly fighting two of the Bundesliga’s best teams in an attempt to land £ 25 million central defender Ben Godfrey this summer.
Jose Mourinho seems confident of signing a new central defender, with Jan Vertonghen and Juan Foyth both aiming to leave.

In fact, the 21-year-old impressed, intervening with three goals and five assists.
However, the source adds that his performances have attracted the attention of clubs across Europe. As such, Barca is now willing to sell the full back in their offer to raise much needed funds.
Tottenham is among the passionate clubs and has informed the Spanish giants of their initial interest. Read more…
