Euro Paper Talk: Lowe claims January move to Tottenham is on for defender; West Ham track Belgian playmaker Tottenham have been cleared to sign a top defensive target in just 86 days’ time, West Ham are keen on a €15m playmaker, while more details have emerged of Thomas Partey’s move to Arsenal, according to Wednesday’s Euro Paper Talk. RUDIGER TO MAKE JANUARY MOVE TO TOTTENHAM Tottenham have been told that a January swoop for Antonio Rudiger is on. Jose Mourinho is on the lookout for a new centre-half after a promising start to the season. They were priced out of a move for Inter’s Milan Skriniar – but could still secure a deal to sign Swansea’s Joe Rodon. However, another player they also looked at was Chelsea’s Rudiger. The Germany defender was subject to plenty of interest but ended up staying at Stamford Bridge. Rudiger, however, has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea. As such, Germany coach Joachim Lowe is convinced a move to Tottenham could be on in January. “I was in constant contact with Toni Rudiger, he was keeping me in the loop. He had three or four options over the weekend but unfortunately, nothing materialised. He can try again in the winter,” Lowe told Goal. “Toni tried everything to leave Chelsea because the European Championship is very important to him. I think he’ll try to leave again in the winter. He’s doing everything he can to stay in his best form.” While Lowe avoided naming Tottenham directly, a move across London to Spurs has been strongly suggested. At this stage, that appears the most favoured move for Rudiger. We exclusively revealed last week how Rudiger refused to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in order to secure a move away. With the January window just 86 days away, a move to Spurs could soon come round for Rudiger….

RUDIGER TO MAKE JANUARY MOVE TO TOTTENHAM

Tottenham have been told that a January swoop for Antonio Rudiger is on.

Jose Mourinho is on the lookout for a new centre-half after a promising start to the season.

They were priced out of a move for Inter’s Milan Skriniar – but could still secure a deal to sign Swansea’s Joe Rodon.

However, another player they also looked at was Chelsea’s Rudiger. The Germany defender was subject to plenty of interest but ended up staying at Stamford Bridge.

Rudiger, however, has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea. As such, Germany coach Joachim Lowe is convinced a move to Tottenham could be on in January.

“I was in constant contact with Toni Rudiger, he was keeping me in the loop. He had three or four options over the weekend but unfortunately, nothing materialised. He can try again in the winter,” Lowe told Goal.

“Toni tried everything to leave Chelsea because the European Championship is very important to him. I think he’ll try to leave again in the winter. He’s doing everything he can to stay in his best form.”

 

While Lowe avoided naming Tottenham directly, a move across London to Spurs has been strongly suggested. At this stage, that appears the most favoured move for Rudiger.

We exclusively revealed last week how Rudiger refused to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in order to secure a move away.

With the January window just 86 days away, a move to Spurs could soon come round for Rudiger….
