Tottenham Hotspur are among four clubs interested in Manchester United man Harry Maguire
According to the Sun, Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as one of the four Premier League clubs vying for the signature of Manchester United’s formidable defender, Harry Maguire.
In Ange Postecoglou’s inaugural season at the helm, the anticipation of wholesale changes at the heart of Spurs’ defence has been brewing steadily. Maguire has been a name that has been doing the rounds for a while now.
With his current weekly earnings at an astonishing £189,904, Harry Maguire‘s substantial salary is not to be overlooked. This could prove to be the stumbling block for any club interested in the former Red Devils captain.
The crux of the matter seems to lie in a shocking revelation: Ten Hag’s decision to strip Maguire of his captaincy. Fueling a wave of emotions, the seasoned defender has reportedly become ‘angry, shocked, and upset’ with the sudden turn of events.
It’s a move that has undoubtedly unsettled the player, prompting him to contemplate the end of his journey with the Manchester-based club. Thankfully for him, he is not short of any suitors this summer.
As one of the most prominent centre-backs in the country, it’s only natural that there would be a scramble for Maguire’s signature. Besides Tottenham, three other Premier League sides have expressed their interest.
West Ham and Newcastle United have thrown their hats into the ring, eyeing the possibility of acquiring the tenacious defender. Chelsea are also said to be interested in him, which is understandable in the aftermath of Wesley Fofana’s injury.
For Spurs, securing Maguire’s services would be a statement of intent, signalling their ambition to compete at the highest level. He might not have played well for Manchester United but has always looked like a different player for the Three Lions.
