Tottenham are keen on bolstering their midfield in the coming months.
Tottenham are desperate to retain their Premier League status this season, with the club currently stranded in the relegation zone. The Lilywhites have finally begun to build some momentum as the campaign approaches its decisive stage. The responsibility now falls on Roberto de Zerbi to get the very best out of his players and help the North Londoners finish the season strongly. Avoiding relegation is crucial, especially as the club aims to keep hold of its key players while adding top-quality reinforcements in the summer.
There is a growing belief within the club that the current squad will undergo a major overhaul in the coming months. Few supporters expected the Lilywhites to be battling for Premier League survival this season. As a result, the club’s hierarchy could look to cut their losses in the summer and bring in suitable replacements who fit the profile required to thrive under Roberto de Zerbi.
Among the many glaring issues within the squad, the lack of a progressive midfielder stands out the most. Spurs signed Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid in the winter to address that specific concern. However, it is fair to suggest that the England international has struggled to hit the ground running and has yet to make a significant impact for the North Londoners in recent weeks. As a result, the Lilywhites are now planning to recruit an additional midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
Tottenham targeting Liverpool star Curtis Jones in the summer
It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are targeting a new midfielder this summer. The lack of ball progression in the middle of the park has created real problems for the Lilywhites. They are also missing much-needed tenacity and energy in midfield, qualities Roberto de Zerbi highly values in his players. As a result, the North Londoners are prepared to invest heavily in a new signing who could immediately compete with Conor Gallagher for a place in the starting eleven.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with Liverpool star Curtis Jones. The England international has not enjoyed a consistent run of games for the Reds this season after slipping down the pecking order under Arne Slot. The Lilywhites have reportedly been monitoring his situation for some time, offering him the chance to become a regular starter at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi. The North Londoners are also believed to be willing to offer around £30m for the player, confident that it would be enough to secure his services.

Spurs have now received the latest update on the transfer saga involving Curtis Jones. As per Fabrizio Romano (via X), the 25-year-old is leaning towards an early exit from Liverpool, with talks over a new deal having stalled for several months. He is determined to play regularly and believes that joining a new club could be the best possible outcome for his career. The Lilywhites, however, may have to fend off competition from Inter Milan, as the Serie A giants are also interested in securing his services in the coming months.
Signing a player of Curtis Jones’ calibre appears to be a no-brainer for the North Londoners. He would instantly bring authority to the middle of the park. The England international is calm and composed on the ball, thrives in counter-pressing situations, and excels at escaping tight spaces on the half-turn. Jones also likes to drive the ball forward and provide a different dynamic in the final third, making late darting runs into the box. All in all, he would be an ideal signing for Spurs, forming a strong partnership with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in midfield.
