Tottenham Hotspur’s rearguard went through a bit of a change during the summer transfer window.
Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, Tosin Adarabioyo and Andy Robertson were signed, while the likes of Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic, Djed Spence and Ashley Phillips were moved on, among others.
Roberto De Zerbi has a lot of options at the heart of the backline, but it appears as if they are keeping one eye on the future as Tottenham continue to keep tabs on Tom Atcheson.
Tottenham monitoring Tom Atcheson
TEAMtalk report that Tottenham are among the Premier League clubs monitoring the young defender, who had an approach turned down from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
An excerpt from their article reads: “As mentioned, Man Utd and Tottenham have previously been among the clubs watching Atcheson closely, meaning the teenager is now firmly on the radar of a significant number of top-flight sides.
“For Blackburn, however, the immediate priority is keeping control of his development.
“The club believe Atcheson has the potential to become a major player and were unwilling to sacrifice that development for a late-window transfer, regardless of the calibre of clubs showing interest.”
Blackburn clearly view Atcheson as a top talent and have already turned down an approach from Chelsea, so they won’t part with him unless Tottenham – or any of his other suitors – break the bank for him.
