Earlier this month, Het Nieuwsblad reported Tottenham Hotspur have already made contact with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise over a potential deal for Kōki Machida.
The Premier League side continue to have the centre-back on their agenda and Voetbal Belgie provide the latest about this case.
Union Saint-Gilloise are currently leading the league table and intend to keep their squad intact beyond the winter market. However, that could be difficult because ‘there is interest from Tottenham’ in the 26-year-old.
The Jupiler Pro League side have conceded 20 goals from 20 league games this season and when the Japan international has been on the pitch, they have conceded more than one goal only on one occasion.
This shows Machida is a key figure for the Belgian club and therefore, they don’t want to part ways with him in the winter market. That doesn’t mean Tottenham or another club wouldn’t be able to snatch him from them.
Voetbal Belgie state Union Saint-Gilloise invested €1m to sign the star and could consider selling him if Spurs make an offer around €10-15m.
Ange Postecoglou has requested the north London club strengthen the centre-back position next month. The latest claims from Italy have stated Tottenham are keen on signing Genoa star Radu Drăgușin.
