Tottenham told they should be paying £45m to sign Premier League player after Newcastle make bid
Darren Ambrose has insisted that he would take one Premier League player at Tottenham Hotspur after Newcastle United had seen an offer rejected last week.
Spurs appear to be well-stocked at the heart of their defence, with Radu Dragusin arriving in the January transfer window to rival Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
But with Ange Postecoglou’s side back in Europe next year, it would perhaps be wise to look at strengthening their options further. So perhaps Tottenham should be alerted to one player a couple of their Premier League rivals are making moves for right now.
It was The Telegraph who reported that Newcastle have made a player-plus-cash bid for Wolves captain Max Kilman, with Elliot Anderson the player offered the chance to go in the opposite direction.
Tottenham told to make move for Max Kilman
Wolves have rejected the offer as they hold out for £45 million for their captain, who is also wanted by Julen Lopetegui and West Ham. And as he discussed the asking price on talkSPORT, Darren Ambrose admitted that he would be very happy if Tottenham decided to make a move.
“I really like Max Kilman, I really do, I think he’s a great defender first and foremost, I think he’s technically good as well. It doesn’t surprise me that clubs are going to be asking for him,” he said.
“It’s crazy to say that you’re just brandishing around figures like £45 million and saying actually, that’s not bad, but that’s the way the football is at the moment.
“I’d take him at Spurs, £45 million. Levy would probably offer £2 million and a bag of crisps or something.”
Spurs’ stance on signing Wolves captain this summer
It would appear that figures within the Tottenham recruitment team feel the same way about Kilman as Ambrose.
Spurs are interested in Kilman as they seemingly look to add more depth at the heart of their defence, but the links are nothing new.

In fact, it was reported last summer that Tottenham were the Premier League side showing the most interest in Kilman, so the fact that little happened suggests that they may not be overly impressed by his current asking price.
Having said that, the summer transfer window is only just kicking into full swing, so perhaps it is too early to say Tottenham will not have a say on his future.
Tottenham could now sign ‘elite’ striker for less than £30m this summer
Tottenham Hotspur look set to bring in a new striker this summer and one target could be available at a cut price.
Ange Postecoglou wants to bolster his attacking options over the coming weeks, with doubts surrounding Richarlison’s future.
It’s been claimed that Spurs would be willing to offload the Brazilian this summer should a suitable offer arrive.
Outside of Richarlison, Heung-min Son performed well in a central role last season as he ended the Premier League campaign with 17 goals to his name, as well as 10 assists.
But Tottenham are lacking a natural No.9 and continue to be linked with a new talisman after Harry Kane’s departure last summer.
Despite links to the likes of Brentford’s Ivan Toney, Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez and Sporting CP talisman Viktor Gyokeres, all three are likely to command a significant fee.
However, according to BBC Sport, one of their striker targets could be available at a cut price due to his contract situation.
£26m player confirms club have asked Tottenham about signing him this summer
Tottenham target Jonathan David available for less than £30m
BBC Sport reports that Lille striker Jonathan David has been subject to interest from Chelsea as they search for a striker.
But Spurs are also keen on the Canadian star and he’ll cost less than £30 million this summer.
That’s down to the striker entering the final year of his contract with Lille and he isn’t short of interest in the Premier League.
David outscored Heung-min Son last season
David has continued to impress for Lille and Tottenham have been long linked with a move for the striker.
Last season he netted 26 goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit – nine more than Son managed for Tottenham.
The 24-year-old has been labelled an ‘elite’ forward and is currently at the Copa America with Canada.
He’s also proven to be prolific at international level as he’s scored 26 in 49 appearances for his country.
