‘Take him’: Tottenham has made concrete move to sign a £200,000-a-week Manchester United talented young star

Michael Dawson has said that he would sign Manchester United central defender Harry Maguire for Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Tottenham Hotspur defender has said on Sky Sports that Spurs should sign Harry Maguire from Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

Dawson said: “There will be a lot of takers for Harry Maguire. I’d take him at Spurs tomorrow.”

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire linked with Tottenham Hotspur

Harry Maguire has actually been linked with a move from Manchester United to Tottenham Hotspur.

Earlier this month, Football Transfers reported that Tottenham and West Ham United are interested in the £200,000-a-week (SalarySport) defender.

The report claimed that the Red Devils would sell the 30-year-old England international if they got £40 million for him.

Potentially a good signing for the Spurs

In our view, Harry Maguire would be a good signing for Tottenham.

Yes, the defender has not had the best of times at Manchester United, but he is a very capable and experienced defender.

We have seen Maguire play well for England.

Tottenham could do with a defender like Maguire who knows the game and can hold his own at the back.

And while the former Leicester City defender is not world-class, Tottenham is not in a position to attract top-quality players in the summer transfer window.

Our first day without Tottenham Hotspur football

good morning!

For those of you who already miss football, I’ve got good news for you. The EFL League One playoff final is today! Barnsley vs Sheffield Wednesday. The best way to spend a federal holiday.

But in more important news, the Spurs season is finally over.

I still have a hard time pinning Tottenham’s path from a promising 4-1 win versus Southampton to a conciliatory 4-1 win at Leeds, but here we are.

There will be no European football next season – for that, your HIC is grateful, as the squad is in desperate need of trimming (like your HIC’s hair before he got it cut on Saturday).

Besides, I think domestic-only competition would give the new manager a good year to instill their philosophy into the club, which is desperately needed.

More of Fitzie’s quick parting thoughts on the end of the season:

• Seems like we’re now at a real moment of leadership change. Hugo Lloris is certainly gone. Harry Kane’s future is uncertain. Who will step up in at least one of their places?
• Ryan Mason was bang on in his assessment of the club the last couple of years. Three managers, three different playing styles. It’s impossible to compete under those circumstances.
• Speaking of Mason, I think there’ll be a good Championship project for him soon. Cardiff, Huddersfield, and Southampton are all currently without managers. Leeds will probably be in search of a new one too. Of those four, I’d say Soton is the best opportunity for him. Stay away from Watford.
• This was a horrible year for Heung-Min Son, and I’m glad for him it’s over. I’ll consider it just a blip for now.
• Happy to see the youngsters get a chance. The pipeline from youth to senior squads was demolished under Antonio Conte, but hopefully, it’s starting to get refurbished.
• Yves Bissouma looks very promising. His first year at Spurs seems like a waste, and under Conte it certainly was. He and Bentancur in the midfield next season hopefully will be a sight to see.
• A long, long offseason awaits and I’m not looking forward to obsessively checking my feeds for the latest managerial/DOF/transfer rumors.

There’s much more to be said about this season, and I’m sure you all have your varied thoughts on it. Can’t wait to read about them.
