Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as they seek to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window, My Betting Edge has reported, citing a source. The North London club is prepared to offer up to £65 million for the 23-year-old, though Liverpool’s stance on a potential sale remains uncertain.
Jones has emerged as an alternative option for Spurs, who are also keen on Palmeiras star Richard Rios. However, securing Rios’ services remains complicated due to his €100 million release clause and Palmeiras’ reluctance to negotiate below that figure.
Spurs had explored a move for Rios in January, but negotiations stalled due to Palmeiras’ firm financial demands. While Tottenham still view the Colombian as a priority target, they are also considering alternative midfield options, with Jones now high on their radar.
Despite recent struggles under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs are determined to bring in top-tier talent to improve their squad. West Ham and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring Rios, though neither club is willing to meet Palmeiras’ valuation.
With Postecoglou’s future uncertain and Tottenham’s summer plans taking shape, the club may need to pursue creative transfer strategies, such as a player-plus-cash deal, to land Rios. If a move for the Brazilian proves unfeasible, Jones could become the club’s primary focus as they look to reinforce their midfield ahead of the next season.
