Tottenham are said to be keeping a close, long-term watch on Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, although no official contact has yet been made with the Anfield club, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
Spurs have tracked the 24-year-old for a number of years, impressed by his technical ability, versatility, and creative influence in the middle of the pitch.<\/p>\n
That said, Liverpool and head coach Arne Slot continue to regard Jones as an integral figure in their long-term plans, which makes any move highly unlikely. A lifelong Liverpool fan, Jones has repeatedly expressed his ambition to emulate his hero Steven Gerrard by spending his entire career at his boyhood club.<\/p>\n
Curtis Jones remains a prized Liverpool asset
\nA product of Liverpool\u2019s academy, Jones has cemented himself as a regular member of the first-team squad and is viewed as one of the club\u2019s most important homegrown players. Former Reds boss J\u00fcrgen Klopp previously labelled him an \u201cexceptional\u201d talent.<\/p>\n
Despite bringing in Conor Gallagher from Atl\u00e9tico Madrid during the January transfer window, Tottenham\u2019s midfield concerns have not gone away. A spate of injuries has exposed a lack of depth in Ange Postecoglou\u2019s squad, prompting the club to assess further options.<\/p>\n
Jo\u00e3o Palhinha is the latest player to suffer a setback that could sideline him for weeks, while Rodrigo Bentancur is also facing a lengthy absence. Those blows have left Spurs short on balance and numbers in central midfield.<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s ongoing injury issues have sharpened their focus on adding another midfielder who can provide creativity, carry the ball effectively, and contribute goals \u2014 qualities Jones has regularly shown when available.<\/p>\n
Even so, Liverpool are not open to discussions unless an extraordinary offer is put forward. With Spurs lingering in the lower half of the Premier League table and pressure mounting on Thomas Frank, the need for dependable reinforcements is growing as the window nears its close. Strengthening midfield depth could be crucial to Tottenham\u2019s hopes in the second half of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
