Lewis Holtby – Tottenham to Fulham
One of Tottenham’s recent signings that could leave White Hart Lane is 23 year-old Holtby. The German has failed to settle since his arrival in January of last year and new boss Tim Sherwood has admitted he will consider selling the midfielder during this window. Holtby has not managed to cement a place in the side, notching up just 24 league appearances, which has not been helped by the sheer number of new additions Spurs brought in after Gareth Bale’s move to Real Madrid.
Holtby intends to force his way into Germany’s World Cup squad but will struggle to do so unless he is playing regularly. Having hoped to be given a fighting chance under Sherwood, Holtby is unlikely to react favourably to being deemed disposable by his new boss. A host of Bundesliga outfits are rumoured to be interested in the former Schalke 04 man, including Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund. If Tottenham win the race for Konoplyanka then Holtby may well be on his way, but time restraints could scupper the deal as one transfer could depend on the other.
