Tottenham Hotspur focused on recruiting young talent this summer, signing four teenagers and striker Dominic Solanke.
Despite a productive transfer window, they might still add a top-level defender even after the window’s closure.
Mats Hummels, previously linked with Spurs, remains a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham could consider renewing their interest in the 35-year-old to bolster their centre-back options, where they currently have limited depth with only Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Radu Dragusin as specialists.
While Ben Davies can play in that position, he’s not considered on par with Hummels, who has been described as ‘world class’.
Adding Hummels could provide valuable experience and depth to Spurs’ defense.However, Tottenham needs to act quickly if they want to secure Hummels.
Serie A club Roma is currently working on signing the German defender, but the allure of the Premier League could potentially sway the deal in Spurs’ favor.
The upcoming international break presents a crucial period for Tottenham to make a decision on this potential signing.
