Spurs linked with another Feyenoord player | OneFootball

It is getting to that time of the year where many links start appearing ahead of the January transfer window, both outgoings and incomings. We have already seen many players linked to Spurs over the last couple of weeks. Players like John Victor from Botafogo, as well as Milan Skriniar from PSG.

We have also seen players linked with a move away from the club, such as a return back to Fluminense for Richarlison. That said, we can probably, and hopefully, expect more outs than in this window.

Another player that has already been linked is David Hancko from Feyenoord. However he is not the only player from the Rotterdam club to be mentioned in the same sentence as Spurs. According to reports, versatile Dutch international Quinten Timber has been “attracting interest” from Tottenham.

Spurs linked with versatile player from the Netherlands

The 23-year old is an extremely versatile player. Per transfermarkt, he has played; 144 games as a central midfielder, 38 as a defensive midfielder, 28 as an attacking midfielder, 12 as a left winger, 12 as a right-back, 10 as a centre-back, and eight as a right-winger.

The cynics reading may think “jack of all trades, master of none”, but this extreme versatility can surely only be done by very talented players. Furthermore, despite playing in a number of positions, it is clear he has been good enough to lock one down – not doing so often being a criticism of versatile players.

This type of player could be so, so useful for Spurs. For any team, but especially here. He would be able to add quality into the midfield, but also add genuine depth in other positions. We have seen the injury crisis at centre half, or how shattered Pedro Porro looks at right-back. This would be killing several birds with one stone.

Having made his debut earlier in the year, Timber has made five appearances for the Netherlands senior team, and played with Micky van de Ven at U21 level – with the two players separated by only two months.

One player separated by even less time is Timber’s twin brother, Jurrien, who most of you will be aware is already pitched up in North London. This potential deal would certainly make for even more interesting North London derbies. In fairness, living with, or near his twin brother could make a move to Spurs very appealing.
