Tottenham’s inconsistency continues as they sit eighth in the Premier League, preparing to host Fulham at home. With injuries mounting, including Guglielmo Vicario as the latest casualty, squad depth is becoming essential if Spurs hope to compete for a top-four finish.
John Wenham, host of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, believes Tottenham may need to secure a loan deal to sign Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen, as a permanent move seems unlikely.
According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham, Juventus, and Liverpool have all expressed interest in Joachim Andersen. The Danish center-back joined Fulham from Crystal Palace this past summer for £30 million, signing a five-year contract at Craven Cottage.
Still in the prime of his career, a move to a top club could prove advantageous for Andersen as he looks to elevate his game on a bigger stage.
Tottenham Eye Loan Move for Joachim Andersen
The Danish international, earning £90,000 gross per week, has showcased his quality across 40 games in his stint with Fulham. Renowned for his height and excellent positioning, Andersen would be a strong addition to Tottenham’s squad. While Fulham were previously rumoured to accept a £30 million bid for the defender, his current injury status and potential availability only on loan may prompt Spurs to reassess their interest. Ultimately, Ange Postecoglou must weigh the urgency of strengthening his center-back options.
Wenham – speaking to Tottenham News – doesn’t think Marco Silva’s side would let the 28-year-old go so soon.
“Andersen is a good player, but he only joined Fulham this summer,”
“Therefore, I don’t see a permanent transfer happening. Tottenham were linked with him previously and didn’t make a move then.”
“I don’t see that transfer happening unless Tottenham agree a loan deal. I just can’t see a permanent transfer happening.”
Velkommen hjem, Joa! 🇩🇰

If Postecoglou sees the center-back role as an immediate priority, Andersen could provide a short-term solution until the season’s end. However, for a long-term strategy, Tottenham may need to explore alternative options.
