Tottenham Target Morten Hjulmand as Sporting Ease Their Demands

Tottenham bolstered their squad in January by strengthening key areas, adding Kevin Danso in defence, Antonin Kinsky in goal, and Mathys Tel up front.

However, one position they overlooked was central midfield, an area that clearly needs reinforcements in the summer.

Yves Bissouma has struggled this season, while Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr have failed to deliver the consistency expected of them.

Reports now suggest Spurs may look to Portugal for a defensive midfielder, with a rising star emerging as a potential target.

Tottenham Eye Morten Hjulmand

According to Jornal de Notícias (via Sport Witness), Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand is on Tottenham’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.

The report states that Spurs face competition from Manchester United, where Ruben Amorim is keen to reunite with the 25-year-old midfielder at Old Trafford.

Sporting are reportedly aware of the difficulty in keeping Hjulmand beyond this season and are prepared to entertain offers.

While his release clause is set at €80m (£66.3m), there is room for negotiation, with the Portuguese club open to accepting a lower fee.

Will Spurs Move for Hjulmand?

Tottenham are expected to prioritise midfield reinforcements this summer, particularly with Bissouma potentially departing.

However, before committing to a big-money signing for a defensive midfielder, Spurs must consider how it could impact Archie Gray’s development.

The 18-year-old has impressed this season, proving his potential at the highest level.

Given his rapid progress, Ange Postecoglou may opt to give Gray a chance to establish himself as the team’s primary holding midfielder—widely regarded as his best position.
