According to Give Me Sport, the Tottenham board have identified that they need to bring in another centre back with Eric Dier linked with a move away in the winter transfer window. Versatile Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly is the first player on Daniel Levy and Co.’s shortlist.
The 25-year-old can play at centre-back and left-back – and has been impressive for the Cherries so far this season. Tottenham have reportedly completed “detailed checks” on the Englishman after attempting to sign him in the summer for £20million.
They are set to go back in for him at the start of next year as Postecoglou looks to bolster his backline. Trevoh Chalobah, who will be allowed to leave Chelsea in January, is also a potential option to fill in at the back and in defensive midfield.
