According to to Sunday Times and Daily Record journalist Duncan Castles, Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign AS Roma centre-back Juan Jesus before Monday’s transfer deadline. Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho wants to bolster his defence this summer, and while Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar is top of his list, his side aren’t willing to meet the demands of the Serie A giants. Tottenham have identified Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger as a back-up plan, but it remains to be seen whether the Stamford Bridge outfit are keen to do business with them and strengthen a direct rival.
