Tottenham in pursuit of versatile £25m Borussia Dortmund winger
Tottenham Hotspur seeking to reinforce their squad, appears to have turned its attention to Borussia Dortmund’s Donyell Malen – a winger whose versatility could provide Ange Postecoglou with the attacking flexibility he craves.
Reinforcements needed as injuries disrupt Tottenham’s campaign
With January offering a window of opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur, the need to strengthen their ranks is becoming increasingly urgent.
The north London club has been without the services of several important names, with the backline and attack being particularly impacted.
This has led to speculation that the club’s hierarchy will prioritise reinforcements in these areas, ensuring the squad has the depth to withstand the second half of the season.
Recent reports have also linked Tottenham with high-profile players such as Paris Saint-Germain’s Kolo Muani, who is said to be out of favour under manager Luis Enrique.
However, it now seems that Spurs may be shifting their focus to a more attainable target, potentially setting their sights on Donyell Malen, Borussia Dortmund’s £25m-rated attacker.
Tottenham consider move for Borussia Dortmund’s Donyell Malen
According to a report by CaughtOffside, Tottenham Hotspur are engaged in internal discussions about whether to formally enter the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Donyell Malen.
The Dutch international, who has impressed in the Bundesliga, is reportedly attracting significant interest, with Aston Villa already in advanced negotiations for his signature.
The report suggests that while Villa are leading the race, final agreements between the clubs have not yet been reached, leaving a potential opening for Spurs to intervene.
The valuation of £25m is seen as a sticking point in negotiations, with Dortmund and Villa reportedly some distance apart on a final fee.
This uncertainty could provide Tottenham with the chance to present a competitive offer for the 25-year-old winger.
Why Donyell Malen could be a strong fit for Spurs
The potential signing of Donyell Malen reflects a broader theme in Tottenham’s recent recruitment strategy, as the club seeks players who offer both quality and positional flexibility.
While Paris Saint-Germain’s Kolo Muani may remain the ideal target, Malen’s ability to operate across the entire forward line makes him a highly practical alternative.
Primarily deployed as a right winger, Malen could provide competition for Brennan Johnson while also serving as cover for Heung-min Son or Solanke in other positions.
This adaptability would undoubtedly strengthen Tottenham’s attacking options and reduce the reliance on key individuals.
Whether Tottenham are willing to meet Borussia Dortmund’s £25m valuation, however, remains to be seen. For now, the move appears speculative.
