Tottenham Targets Premier League Defender Tino Livramento for Squad Reinforcement
Tottenham Hotspur is looking to strengthen its full-back unit as the club navigates a challenging season. Despite winning their last two matches, Spurs remain just one point above the relegation zone.
Following a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa, Tottenham has moved out of the drop zone for the first time in nearly a month. This win elevated the North London club above West Ham into 17th place, with three matches left in the season. Their recent performance was a sign of positive change under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
If Tottenham secures its place in the Premier League, the club plans to rebuild its squad in alignment with De Zerbi’s vision. The focus appears to be on enhancing the defensive line.
Tino Livramento from Newcastle United Caught Spurs’ Attention
Recent reports indicate that Tottenham is intensifying its pursuit of Brighton and Hove Albion center-back Jan Paul van Hecke. This comes amid rumors of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven potentially leaving White Hart Lane. Although Luka Vuskovic is set to return from a productive loan spell at SV Hamburger, Spurs aim to acquire a central defender this summer.
Additionally, Tottenham is seeking a full-back as Barcelona has reportedly set its sights on Pedro Porro with a €30 million bid. Should Porro leave at season’s end, Spurs will need a replacement.
According to a report from Calciomercato, Tottenham is among the Premier League clubs interested in Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento. With the Englishman seemingly on the way out of St. James’ Park, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City are keeping a close watch.
Newcastle is likely to miss out on Champions League qualification, which places them in a precarious position regarding Livramento, who has emerged as a talented young full-back since joining from Southampton in 2023. With his contract lasting until 2028 and no extension talks progressing, the Magpies may need to sell him this summer for financial reasons.
Injuries have hampered Livramento’s season at Newcastle, but Tottenham is eager to solidify their interest in the player, who is poised for the next step in his career. His versatility, comfort on both flanks, and technical ability make him an appealing choice for the right-back position—a key area Spurs need to address if Porro departs.
However, with Arsenal and Manchester City also monitoring Livramento’s situation, attracting him to Tottenham may be challenging without European football.
