It’s fair to say that this season has been tottenham hotspur So far.

Angie Postkoglu’s The team starts their season looking to improve on their fifth-place finish Premier League last year, but as things stand now, they’ve dropped to 11th place.

The North Londoners have successfully qualified League Cup Semifinals, still a chance to win european leaguebut to do that, they need to seriously improve their performance.

Now, the club is facing an injury crisis on the defensive line, but even so, Pedro Polo and others Destiny Udoji It looks much worse than it did this time last year, so reports that the club could upgrade the latter should excite fans.

Tottenham Hotspur transfer news

according to A recent report from OffsideTottenham Hotspur are one of several teams keen on signing Club Brugge’s exciting full-back Maxime de Cooper.

Reports revealed that in addition to Lilywhites, London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested in the Belgian defender.

Unfortunately, the report also claims that the Gunners are currently top of the game, but given their wealth of full-backs, there’s no reason Spurs can’t get ahead of them by providing them with more game time.

The report doesn’t reveal how much the 24-year-old might cost interested parties, but Given that he is valued at €12 million – £10m – In the transfer market, we’d be surprised if this was a prohibitively expensive price tag.

There’s no doubt there’s some risk involved in signing a player from outside the top five leagues, but based on his ability and potential, De Cuper is a gamble worth taking, especially as he could be Udoji’s Ideal upgrade.

How De Cuyper compares to Udogie

So one of DeCooper’s best qualities is that he’s versatile Play on both sides of the defense Can even play further forward in the midfield or even on the wing.

However, to some extent, the position he plays most is left-back, which means he will compete with Udoji for a starting spot after moving to Tottenham next year, but how do they compare?

Well, from an output perspective, which is increasingly important in the modern game, Club Brugge’s ace takes the lead.

For example, this “monster” full-back has played 24 times this season. Voiced by video talent scout Elijah MichielsScored 1 goal and 4 assistswhich equates to an impressive average of goals every 4.8 games.

In contrast, the Lilywhites’ Italian ace offers Only one assist in his 21 games This season is undoubtedly terrible.

So what about their underlying numbers? When we get under the hood, is this comparison just as one-sided?

In fact, it is the “extraordinary” Belgian that is known as Contributed by U23 Scout Antonio Mangowinning in most relevant metrics such as non-penalty expected goals plus assists, progressive passes, shots and shots on target, key passes, passes and crosses into the box, shots blocked Wait, all indicators are 90 points.

Now, while the Brugge star surpasses Udoji in a big way, we have to take into account the fact that he plays in a weaker league.

Even with that in mind, however, his underlying numbers are still sensational, and the idea of ​​him playing in Postkoglu’s incredible offense should excite the Lilywhites faithful.

So, despite the risks associated with this potential deal, Tottenham should make every effort to sign De Cuper in 2025 before anyone else beats him to it.
