TOTTENHAM & INTER LOCK HORNS IN TRANSFER BATTLE FOR 'NEW KOMPANY' AS BELGIAN DEFENDER RACE HEATS UP
Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Koni De Winter, with the North London club now competing with Inter Milan and several other Premier League sides for the highly rated Genoa and Belgium defender.
The 23-year-old centre-back enjoyed a standout season in Serie A, quickly establishing himself as one of the most promising young defenders in Italian football. His composure on the ball, physicality, and tactical awareness have drawn widespread attention—and now Spurs are looking to make a move before his value rises any further.
Tottenham’s interest comes as manager Ange Postecoglou continues to reshape the defensive line, seeking depth and long-term solutions. With uncertainty still surrounding the futures of players like Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga, De Winter fits the profile of the modern, ball-playing centre-back Postecoglou favours.
Inter Milan have also been tracking the Belgian closely as they look to inject fresh energy into their backline, while several English clubs—believed to include Brighton and West Ham—are monitoring the situation closely.
Genoa, aware of the growing demand, are expected to demand a competitive fee for their prized asset. Though no formal offers have been made public, negotiations could heat up quickly as pre-season intensifies and clubs look to finalize their squads.
De Winter, who has also begun to break into the senior Belgium national team setup, is said to be open to a move this summer—particularly if it guarantees top-level minutes and European football exposure.
With multiple clubs circling, the coming weeks could be crucial in determining where the young defender lands. For now, Tottenham's entry into the race adds serious weight to what is shaping up to be a three-way battle for one of Europe’s top emerging defensive talents.
