Tottenham wants to buy RB Leipzig defender

RB Leipzig's central defender Castello Lukeba is at the center of attention from London’s Tottenham club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Journalist Sebastien Vidal provided this information. According to the source, Tottenham is expecting Cristian Romero to leave the team.

For this reason, the new head coach Thomas Frank wants to bring Lukeba to the team. According to the journalist, the 22-year-old French player has a release clause of 89 million euros in his contract with RB Leipzig, but the German club has indicated that it is ready to negotiate a lower price.

Last season, Lukeba played in 31 matches across all competitions, but did not stand out with a goal or assist. His presence on the field is aimed at ensuring the strength of the defensive line.

His role is expected to be significant in the team's new plans. The Tottenham management and coaching staff are actively working to complete this transfer.

Lukeba's youth and potential could bring a new breath to the team. Therefore, negotiations are progressing rapidly.

If the contracts are successfully finalized, the player will have the opportunity to play in the English championship.
