Tottenham Hotspur insider Paul O’Keefe, who regularly breaks news on the developments at Hotspur Way, has revealed that Spurs continue to have their eye on a Liverpool star, who is expected to leave Anfield this summer.
Tottenham activated Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60m release clause two weeks ago, but the transfer still appears no closer to going through.
Gibbs-White is not agitating for a move to Spurs, with the midfielder seemingly happy for the deal to take its natural course as he is currently in pre-season training with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men in Portugal.
Some Spurs fans are calling for Tottenham to look beyond Gibbs-White, as they are understandably tired of the transfer saga.
Tottenham are interested in Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott
If Tottenham do decide to move on from Gibbs-White, the question is which alternative would the Lilywhites turn to next, with Frank evidently wanting to add an energetic attacking midfielder to his squad.
It was reported last month that Spurs had enquired about Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, who wants to leave Anfield in search of regular game time.
Paul O’Keefe has now confirmed that Elliott is indeed on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar, but he is unsure if the club view him as an alternative to Gibbs-White.
O Keefe told Spurs Web: “I heard Harvey Elliott at Liverpool is one on Tottenham’s shortlist of possibilities. They do like him, but whether he’s an alternative to Morgan Gibbs-White is another thing entirely. He’s definitely one under consideration.”
How much would Harvey Elliott cost?
While many would assume that the Reds youngster would come considerably cheaper than Gibbs-White, some sources have claimed that Arne Slot’s men are demanding big money for the 22-year-old.
It was reported by The Athletic a few weeks ago that Liverpool want a fee of £40m plus a buy-back clause for Elliott.
The same update suggested that if Tottenham or one of Elliott’s other suitors insist on not adding a buy-back clause, they would need to pay over £50m to land the Fulham academy graduate.
