Tottenham 'plotting free transfer raid' on Premier League relegation strugglers
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Luton Town's Gabriel Osho, as they look to bolster their defensive ranks around Micky van de Ven. The versatile defender has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs in his debut season, including those battling for Champions League qualification alongside Spurs.
According to GiveMeSport, Spurs are contemplating a free transfer move for Osho, whose contract with Luton expires at the end of the season. The North London club is keen to strengthen its defence, which has been hit by injuries to Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, the latter being ruled out for the rest of the season.
Osho could be a cost-effective solution for Spurs, but they may face competition from Aston Villa and Fulham. Tosin Adarabioyo and Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly, who are also out of contract at the end of the season, remain on Spurs' radar.
Spurs have already invested nearly £70million in defenders Van de Ven and Radu Dragusin over the past two transfer windows. However, with only these two and Cristian Romero as recognised centre-backs, manager Ange Postecoglou has had to utilise left-back Ben Davies in a central role on multiple occasions.
After a knee injury sidelined him for six matches, Osho made a comeback last Saturday, but couldn't stop Brentford from celebrating a resounding victory at Kenilworth Road, marking their largest win since ascending to the Premier League, reports the Express.
