Spurs are looking to sign Tyrick Mitchell to fill their void on left side of defence

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly showing interest in signing Crystal Palace star, Tyrick Mitchell. The English left-back has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace and has attracted attention from multiple European clubs. According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur recently held talks with the promising defender to discuss a potential move. This comes as no surprise given that the player is set to become a free agent next summer, with no plans of renewal on the horizon.

Mitchell joined Crystal Palace from Brentford in 2016 and since then he has shown significant improvement, emerging as a key member of the squad. His physical strength, aggressive nature and reliability have made him an asset for his team. Mitchell's skills extend beyond just being physically strong and aggressive. He excels in one-on-one situations due to his quick feet and timely tackles. Additionally, he is adept at carrying the ball which adds another dimension to his game.

As it stands now, Mitchell isn’t keen on signing a new contract which means he will be available for free next summer. Securing such quality talent without any transfer fee could be an excellent deal for any club.

Competition for signing

However, securing this deal won't be easy for Tottenham Hotspur as they face stiff competition from other clubs including Arsenal and Barcelona who are also interested in acquiring this rising star's services. As per current indications, Barcelona seems better positioned than any other club to secure Mitchell’s signature.

While Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Tyrick Mitchell is clear; they will need strategic planning and negotiation skills if they hope to beat out their competitors - particularly Barcelona - who are also vying for this talented player.
