TOTTENHAM have identified two Premier League defenders as January transfer targets, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Ange Postecoglou is set to be without star defender Micky van de Ven until the new year.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old, who signed for Spurs in the summer, sustained a hamstring injury in the north London sides 4-1 defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n
And with the Dutchman ruled out until 2024, Spurs are looking to add a new body to their thread-bare defence.<\/p>\n
According to the Daily Mail, the first of these is Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n
Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite is also on the club's January wish list.<\/p>\n
The pair were earmarked in a meeting held this week to discuss defenders they could sign in the new year.<\/p>\n Eric Dier's contract running out in summer 2024 is an added factor in these talks.<\/p>\n In all Spurs are said to have identified five targets.<\/p>\n AC Milan's Malick Thiaw, Benfica's Morato and Goncalo Inacio of Sporting Lisbon are all targets on mainland Europe.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Both Guehi and Branthwaite have impressed for their respective clubs so far this season.<\/p>\n Tottenham have not been helped by a hit to Destiny Udogie and the suspension to Cristian Romero.<\/p>\n James Maddison being out has also added to their list of worries.<\/p>\n A late loss to Wolves in their last game has also soured an otherwise strong campaign for the club.<\/p>\n They have tough games against Aston Villa, Manchester City and West Ham in their next three fixtures.<\/p>\n<\/picture>WELCOME OFFER <\/span><\/p>\n
