Tottenham Shows Interest in Nicolas Raskin
The website "CaughtOffside" revealed that Tottenham Hotspur has shown interest in signing Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who is 24 years old and currently plays for Scottish club Rangers.
Raskin joined Rangers in 2023 for around £2 million and has delivered impressive performances since his arrival, prompting Tottenham to monitor him closely, as his current value is estimated between £20 and £25 million, giving Rangers the opportunity to make significant profits, reaching ten times his previous transfer value.
Crystal Palace and Leeds United have previously shown interest in signing Raskin, but Tottenham seems to be the closest to acquiring the player in the upcoming transfer window to strengthen their midfield.
Raskin possesses the physical and technical abilities suitable for the Premier League, and he can add depth and quality to the midfield through ball control, contributing to pressing and defending, and increasing the work rate on the pitch, as he recorded an average of 3.7 tackles, 1.5 interceptions, 1.9 clearances, 1.9 ball dispossessions, and 1.4 aerial duels won per 90 minutes in the Scottish Premiership last season.
Moving to the Premier League represents an ideal opportunity for Raskin, who is entering the best years of his football career, and Tottenham is seen as an ambitious project led by coach Thomas Frank, capable of maximizing the Belgian player's potential.
Tottenham currently sits in third place in the Premier League, and strengthening the team with impactful players like Raskin is an important step to continue competing for the top positions.
