He is viewed as a strong option if Lucas Bergvall leaves.<\/p>\n<h2>Spurs don\u2019t need more midfielders<\/h2>\n<p>Arthur Vermeeren did an excellent job with Olympique Marseille last season. His game intelligence, composure under pressure, spatial awareness in the middle of the park and strong work-rate are some of his best attributes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 21-year-old does fall short as far as his physicality is concerned and does not do very well in ground or aerial duels. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur need to be wary that he might struggle in the <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/premier-league\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"21\" title=\"Premier League\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is also debatable whether Spurs need more midfielders. Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali have joined key central midfielder in Archie Gray, Conor Gallagher, Pape Mata Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur to name a few options amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>With Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side not playing in any European competition next season, it is fair to believe that they have adequate depth in their engine room and must now look at rebuilding their offensive department with their backline also looked after.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi will undoubtedly have several names earmarked to rebuild his unit in the final third as well, and with that in mind, it will be interesting to see which forwards Spurs end up signing to bolster their quality and output up top.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/235352\/tottenham-hotspur-considering-summer-swoop-for-rb-leipzig-star-arthur-vermeeren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur have significantly rebuild their squad so far in the ongoing summer transfer window, and while defensive acquisitions were important, Sandro Tonali\u2019s and Mateus Fernandes\u2019 purchases in midfield were statement signings.
