Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has backed Tottenham Hotspur to make a special acquisition in the centre of the park.

Oliver Skipp, who has battled for playing time this season, may not have many more years at Tottenham since Ange Postecoglou doesn’t appear to value the Spurs academy graduate.

Among those names, Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher heads the list, with Atalanta midfielder Ederson also mentioned by some reports in the media.
The latest midfielder to be linked with Spurs is Juventus star Adrien Rabiot, who could be coming to the Premier League and move to North London, to join either Spurs or their rivals Arsenal.
Romano thinks that when the transfer market reopens in June, Tottenham may make a bid for a well-known midfield player.
The reporter informed JD Football: “I see Tottenham signing an important midfielder in the summer, a really important one, I think they want to add something special in that position.”
