Tottenham are reportedly competing for Udinese centre-back Thomas Kristensen. Their interest began after observing Kristensen's performance in a Serie A match in December, where he impressed the scouts. The 6ft 5in Denmark under-21 international is also attracting attention from Leicester City and Bayer Leverkusen. During a match against Fiorentina, Kristensen demonstrated his defensive skills by achieving a 100% success rate in tackles, making five clearances, and not allowing any player to dribble past him. Udinese has valued him at £16.5 million, and they may consider an offer of that magnitude. Spurs, facing defensive challenges due to injuries, regard Kristensen as a potential reinforcement for their defense.
