Tottenham re-open talks to sign Maxime Esteve this summer

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit this summer, and they have identified Maxime Esteve from Burnley as a target, as per L’Equipe. 

The 23-year-old was outstanding for Burnley in the Championship, and he was instrumental in their push for promotion. It will be interesting to see if the Clarets are willing to sanction his departure.

Tottenham could lose Cristian Romero during the summer window, and they need to replace him. The South American has been an indispensable asset for them, and they need a quality player to fill the void left by him.

Meanwhile, the defender has been linked with Crystal Palace as well.

Maxime Esteve would be a quality signing

Esteve has shown his ability in the second division of English football, and he has the attributes to succeed in the Premier League as well. Tottenham tried to sign the player during the January transfer window, and they had an offer of around €24 million turned down for the player.

Burnley wanted €35 million for the defender back then. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to sell the player for a reasonable amount of money this summer. The opportunity to join Spurs will be quite exciting for him, and he will look to join the north London club. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the platform to fight for trophies.
