€30M deal in the works, Spurs & Palace set for tug-of-war over 24-G/A midfielder | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the midfield unit in the summer, and they have identified Sven Mijnans as a target.

The 26-year-old playmaker has done quite well for AZ Alkmaar, and Tottenham have sent Scouts to watch the player in action. Crystal Palace are also interested in the player. According to a report from Sports Boom, the player will cost around €30 million in the summer.

Tottenham and Crystal Palace are reportedly structuring comprehensive packages in order to sign the player at the end of the season, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Convincing the 26-year-old midfielder to join the club might not be too difficult. This would be an attractive proposition for him. He will be looking to test himself in the Premier League.

The report claims that the signing is being viewed as a “high-value, low-risk” investment.

Mijnans has 16 goals and 8 assists to his name this season, and he is at the peak of his career. This is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Tottenham need players of his quality, and he could help create opportunities for his teammates in the final third and link the midfield with the attack. Tottenham have struggled to create opportunities in the final third, and the Dutch midfielder could make a big difference.

That said, Tottenham already have players like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who will return from their injuries next season. It remains to be seen how they accommodate the 26-year-old midfielder if they sign him.

Crystal Palace need more creativity in the final third as well, and they are in a better position to offer him regular gametime. It remains to be seen what the player decides.
