Curtis Jones has become a regular in Arne Slot’s Liverpool side, making 28 appearances across all competitions this season, 17 of them as a starter.
Jones is under contract until 2027, but having last renewed in 2022, he is not among Liverpool’s top earners, leaving room for potential interest from other clubs. Tottenham have been linked with a move for the 24-year-old as they look to strengthen their midfield amid injuries.
Lucas Bergvall has undergone ankle surgery after being forced off just past the hour mark in Spurs’ Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, replaced by Jun’ai Byfield.
His absence adds to Thomas Frank’s injury concerns, alongside James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, and Rodrigo Bentancur. Spurs earlier confirmed the £35m signing of England midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid but remain in the market for another midfielder.
The 25-year-old, formerly of Chelsea, joined Spurs on a deal running until 2031 after beating Aston Villa to his signature. Gallagher had moved to Atletico in August 2024, with Portugal forward Joao Felix heading the other way.
Jones was a key figure under former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and two League Cups, and played an important role as Arne Slot led Liverpool to last season’s league title.
DaveOCKOP.com can exclusively reveal that Tottenham could make a move for Curtis Jones in the January transfer window. Jones’ departure could open the door for Liverpool target Adam Wharton. We revealed exclusively that the Crystal Palace defensive midfielder remains on the club’s summer transfer radar. The interest will likely ramp up as we head towards the end of the campaign. Talks are expected to start at around £65m.
Jones is a Liverpool homegrown player who came through the club’s academy. Selling him would generate a profit. It is believed Tottenham would be willing to initially offer £30m as an opening offer, but Liverpool are likely to seek more.
Tottenham are also interested in signing Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, whose contract expires at the end of the current season. Former Liverpool assistant coach John Heitinga, now at Spurs, is keen on both players and is playing a key role in the club’s transfer pursuits.
Jones will enter the final year of his contract after the 2025/26 season, and Spurs see an opportunity to sign him cheaply while offering regular first-team football.
