Tottenham Hotspur are actively working to strengthen their midfield options during this summer’s transfer window.
A Juventus midfielder is reportedly eager to make the move to North London, but he is just one of three candidates under consideration by the club’s hierarchy.

Fabio Paratici, Thomas Frank, and Johan Lange are carefully weighing up their options before committing to any deal.
Spurs remain focused on signing Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest, despite the drawn-out nature of those negotiations.
Once that deal is concluded, Tottenham plan to shift their full attention to securing a defensive midfielder. This position has become a growing priority as speculation mounts around Yves Bissouma’s potential departure.

According to recent reports from TBR Sports, Douglas Luiz is high on Tottenham’s shortlist. The Brazilian international is said to be very keen on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After Juventus gave him permission to find a new club, Luiz’s representatives have been in contact with several Premier League sides. Returning to England, just a year after leaving Aston Villa, is now the player’s preferred option.
But Douglas Luiz not the only target
While Luiz’s entourage are pushing hard for a deal with Spurs, Tottenham are keeping their options open. Club officials are scouting other potential defensive midfielders in case negotiations break down.

Sources indicate that Spurs want a player who can offer immediate quality and experience at the top level.
However, with competition for his signature likely, Tottenham are prepared to explore alternative solutions if necessary.
For now, the focus remains on finalizing Gibbs-White’s transfer. Once complete, Spurs intend to act decisively to secure the midfield reinforcements they believe are essential for the season ahead.
