Tottenham fans have finally got something to be excited about, as a transfer report has hinted they are still interested in a swoop for de Ligt.

Tottenham fans have been growing increasingly frustrated with their lack of transfer activity, and selling Toby Alderweireld might just be the icing on the extremely depressing cake.

However, it seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel, as they could still reignite the chase for de Ligt.

The Dutch wonderkid is seen as the perfect long-term replacement for Alderweireld, showing incredible leadership and composure for an 18 year-old centre back.

According to The Evening Standard (via Last Word on Spurs), the club still has a “long interest” in the young defender.

De Ligt is quick, technically gifted, and reads the game incredibly well for such a young player.

Spurs have had great success buying players from the Eredivisie, and fans would absolutely love de Ligt to follow in the footsteps of Davinson Sanchez and make the switch from Ajax.
