Italian journalist Giorgio Dusi has said that Tottenham Hotspur and three other clubs are set to get involved in a bidding war for Teun Koopmeiners, with Atalanta now ready to sell the midfielder to the highest bidder in the summer.

Koopmeiners has not only become the main man in Atalnata’s engine room over the last couple of years but he has also established himself as a key player for the Netherlands national side.

The 26-year-old’s reputation has thus skyrocketed and it has been widely reported over the last few months that a number of clubs are now plotting a move for him in the summer.

Tottenham are thought to be among those clubs, with Tuttosport (via Sport Witness) even claiming last month that the Lilywhites had already begun work to sign the player.
A few weeks ago, CalcioMercato suggested that Spurs and Liverpool are in the ‘front row’ to secure the former AZ Alkmaar man when the transfer window reopens in June.

On Thursday, Koopmeiners himself opened up on his desire to seek a new challenge at the end of the season and admitted that he had communicated the decision to Atalanta already (De Telegraaf).
