Tottenham hold meeting with agent of £128m Chelsea and Arsenal target
Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly in talks with attacking midfielder Vitaliy Mykolenko’s agent regarding a potential summer transfer. The player’s agent, Vadym Shablii, was reportedly present at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to discuss his client’s future, with interest also expected from other European clubs, including Juventus. However, negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk, the player’s current club, may prove challenging due to past disputes over a free transfer move.
Shakhtar previously rejected a £34 million deal for Mykolenko and threatened legal action against Spurs over the transfer of another player, Manor Solomon. As a result, it is anticipated that Shakhtar will demand a significant fee for Mykolenko, even if they do not receive his full release clause. In other football news, Tottenham Hotspur has the opportunity to impact Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes in an upcoming match.
While Arsenal currently leads the top-flight by a point, Manchester City still has a game in hand, and Liverpool’s chances have diminished after dropping points in a recent draw with West Ham. Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, acknowledges the significance of the upcoming game against Arsenal, recognizing the importance of performing well against their biggest rival. He emphasizes the opportunity for his team to measure themselves against top opponents more consistently and hopes to make the most of the upcoming match.
