Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida has been linked with a move to the club this summer.
According to a report from Footmercato, PSG, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the 23-year-old defender. The versatile defender can work in multiple roles and is naturally, an attractive prospect in the transfer market.
He is in the final year of his contract with the Dutch club and could be available for a low price this summer. The report says that PSG are looking for this player, but they will face competition from these two teams in England. They are long-time admirers of the defender and their interest in the player is not new.
Spurs could use a versatile defender like him, especially if they sell Emerson Royal this summer. As for Liverpool, they need a quality replacement for Joel Matip who has left the club and could use more depth at right back as well. Geertruida looks to be a worthy acquisition for both clubs, and it remains to be seen whether he can strike a chord with PSG if he signs.
Geertruida will promote Liverpool and Spurs
The defender contributed eight goals and five assists last season and could add a new dimension to Tottenham and Liverpool’s attack going forward. The opportunity to play for the big clubs in the Premier League will certainly be attractive and the player will find it difficult to turn it down.
Liverpool could be in the running after appointing Arne Slot as their new manager. He worked with Geertruida at Feyenoord.
Tottenham and Liverpool have the financial resources to do a deal. Both teams will need to improve their squad and add more depth if they want to challenge for major trophies next season.
The 23-year-old Dutchman could be a bargain for them, but he is yet to make a concrete decision on his future. The report says that he is focused on the European Championship with his country now.
