Spurs Must Act Swiftly to Finally Sign $35m Star

Lieciester win over Southampton have extended their lead at the top to 7 points and it will be fair to say that Spurs should focus on finishing above Arsenal now as the Gunners are once again in top form.
The North Londoners are already planning for the next season as well and they must reinforce the squad with quality players to challenge the best sides in the UEFA Champions League.
One top player linked with a move to White Hart Lane for quite some time is Belgian international Axel Witsel. Talksport cite reports in the media claiming that Spurs have already made a bid worth $28m to sign him but Zenit are no closer to sanctioning the move.

As per the provided Talksport link, Italian source Corriere dello Sport claim that Serie A side AS Roma are also in the hunt for the versatile midfielder and are ready to match Spurs’ bid.
At the moment, Mauricio Pochettino has got four Belgian players in his squad and that can tempt the Zenit star to join the North Londoners.
However, Spurs must act swiftly to sign Witsel because Roma are without doubt an attractive and historic club who also look set to play CL football next season as well. The Russian side rate the 27-year-old star around $35m (Talksport).
