Deal in Principle Agreed – How Spurs will Line up with Versatile Star

Tottenham must secure top signings in the summer transfer window to challenge the best of teams in Europe’s elite competition next season.
The North Londoners have been brilliant this season and it will be intriguing to see how Mauricio Pochettino will further reinforce this quality squad.
According to Turkish source Fanatik, Fenerbahce’s versatile star Mehmet Topal has agreed a deal in principle to sign for Tottenham. The 30-year-old Turkish international is a solid defensive midfielder.

This season, Eric Dier has been Tottenham’s main defensive midfielder and the 22-year-old England international has been solid in front of the back four. Spurs have the best defensive record in the Premier League and Dier deserves a lot of credit for that.
Hence, it will be a surprise if Topal replaces Dier if he eventually arrives at White Hart Lane. However, in Dier’s absence, the experienced holding midfield player will probably start alongside Dembele/Mason. Topal can effectively play in the central defense as well.
Here is how Spurs will line up with Mehmet Topal.
