Tottenham Hotspur Offered A Chance To Sign This Real Madrid Defender: Good Signing For Spurs? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have been offered a chance to sign Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger. It has been stated that Spurs will have to compete with Crystal Palace and West Ham United in the race to land the German talent next summer.

Rudiger’s Impressive Form In German Football

Rudiger has missed a lot of games this season due to injury, but has done well to serve as a good, rotational piece in Real Madrid’s squad. The Germany international has made just nine appearances for Los Blancos so far in this campaign across multiple competitions.

The 32-year-old can still be a decent contributor on the defensive end of the field when he is playing regularly and with confidence on the field. He has got a wealth of experience at the highest level, so Spurs would do well to bring him on board this summer.

His current contract at the Madrid club will run out at the end of this campaign, which could open the door for Tottenham to sign him on a free transfer later this year.

Is Rudiger A Good Signing For Tottenham Hotspur?

Rudiger is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and excels at playing his way out from the back.

Standing at 1.90m, the German sensation can use his strong frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League from his spell at Chelsea and won’t take much time to settle into life at Tottenham.

We can expect Rudiger to bring more bite and steel to the North London club’s defence. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming years.

At 32, Rudiger is past his prime but could still serve as an important squad player at a club like Tottenham. He has got the skill set and leadership qualities to be a success story at the London club in the short term. Furthermore, Rudiger will be available on a free transfer this summer, which makes him a decent signing for Spurs to pull off financially at the end of this season.
