This summer, Tottenham made the signing of a defender a top priority. Last season, the back door was poor enough to allow 73 runs in 50 games in all competitions. Enze Postecoglu (57, Tottenham), who took the new helm, dreamed of reinforcements, keeping an eye on Van the Penn, Edmond Topsova (24, Leverkusen), and Toshin Adarabioyo (25, Fulham).
However, there was no progress in reinforcement as disagreements occurred in negotiations with various teams on transfer fees. With less than two weeks left before the opening, the recruitment of a defender is still ‘no news’. Tottenham’s defense is still intact enough to concede 4 runs in 2 games this pre-season, but it is a situation where you can see the worst defense in the upcoming season as it is.
In the end, Tottenham made a big decision. I decided to pay a considerable transfer fee to reorganize the uneasy back door. Reporter Alfredo Fedula of Italian media ‘TV Dello Sport’ said on social media on the 3rd that “Van the Penn is approaching a transfer to Tottenham with a transfer fee of 50 million euros (approximately 71.1 billion won).” Chairman Daniel Levy (61, England), who is called a ‘sweetie’, boldly stepped forward for the team.
There is no problem with players and individual agreements. According to reporter Romano, the individual agreement has already been reached ‘100%’. As long as the details are coordinated, Van de Fenn can board a plane to London.
Van de Fenn played 36 matches in all competitions for Wolfsburg last season and played as a starting defender. Along with his height of 193 cm, the part with the main power in the league captured Tottenham’s heart. He also has passing power using his left foot, and can handle both center and left flank defense.
