Expert issues ‘100%’ Josko Gvardiol signing claim after Tottenham source’s update
Tottenham target Josko Gvardiol is likely to sign for Chelsea this summer.
That is according to Spurs expert John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
On Thursday (13 October) this site revealed Tottenham are closely monitoring RB Leipzig defender Gvardiol and that scouts from the club watched him once again in Tuesday’s 2-0 Champions League win over Celtic in Glasgow.
Chelsea are also keeping close tabs on Gvardiol and will try to bring him to Stamford Bridge after recently agreeing a pre-contract with his Leipzig teammate Christopher Nkunku.
Wenham expects the defender will choose to move to Stamford Bridge.
“I can see him going to Chelsea 100%,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“They did a good deal with Leipzig for Timo Werner this summer, they sorted him out and they already seem to have their hands on Nkounkou already, according to lots of reports.
“I can just see Chelsea doing that deal ahead of Tottenham, I really can. I think they will be ahead of us and that’s a shame because it would be a good bit of business considering how highly-rated he is.
“I think Chelsea get Gvardiol but that might give us a clear run at Bastoni.”
Tottenham were heavily linked with Inter Milan centre back Alessandro Bastoni in the summer.
However, a deal could not be agreed and the club instead signed Clement Lenglet on loan from Barcelona.
