‘One to watch’ - talkSPORT reporter says Spurs could sign £29m 'star' today

Taking to Twitter, talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has made a Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.

Various reports from overnight and this morning indicate that Spurs are far from done as Antonio Conte reportedly eyes a plethora of late moves.

It is believed that the likes of Atletico Madrid forward Yannick Carrasco and Brighton star Yves Bissouma are on the Lilywhites’ radar in what is looking to be a very interesting final day.

Some sources have even suggested ‘several‘ incomings at Tottenham today, with talkSPORT reporter Crook now dropping an enticing claim on social media.

Taking to Twitter, the journalist has said that Luiz to Spurs could be ‘one to watch’ today.

Villa’s midfielder has recently earned praise from his manager Steven Gerrard, but with 18 months left on his contract, Luiz has been linked with a move away from the Midlands club.

Since moving to the Midlands from Manchester City in 2019, the 23-year-old has impressed overall, with journalist Gregg Evans of The Athletic calling Luiz an ‘absolute star’, a ‘joy to watch’ and ‘fantastic’ (1874 Podcast, via This is Futbol) in the summer of 2020.

The Brazil international’s young age and Premier League experience could also be a real incentive for Spurs to move for him, especially considering that some sources suggest he could be available for around €35m (£29m).

In what is shaping up to be a very interesting deadline day at Tottenham, the coming hours could either shape or unravel this potential move.
