Tottenham Eye Free Move for Popular Premier League Defender Wanted by Barcelona

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell on a free transfer next summer. The 25-year-old left-back’s contract talks with Palace have stalled, opening the door for interested clubs.

According to reports, Spurs have been offered the chance to sign Mitchell when his Palace contract expires at the end of the season. Manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to strengthen his defensive options and provide competition for Destiny Udogie at left-back.

However, Tottenham face competition from Barcelona for Mitchell’s signature. The Spanish giants are also monitoring the defender’s situation and could agree a pre-contract with him as early as January.

Mitchell has impressed since breaking into the Palace first team and has earned praise for his consistent performances. His potential availability on a free transfer makes him an attractive proposition for top clubs looking to reinforce their squads.

Postecoglou recently hinted that Tottenham will look to make signings in January, but insisted any additions must improve the squad. With injuries depleting his defensive options, a move for Mitchell could prove shrewd business for Spurs if they can beat Barcelona to his signature.

As contract talks with Palace continue to stall, Mitchell’s future remains uncertain. But a move to either Tottenham or Barcelona would represent a major step up for the highly-rated young defender.
