<span id="more-22729"></span>The North Londoners are already planning for the next season as well and they must reinforce the squad with quality players to challenge the best sides in the UEFA Champions League.<br />
One top player linked with a move to White Hart Lane for quite some time is Belgian international Axel Witsel. <a href="http://talksport.com/football/tottenham-transfer-news-roma-ready-fight-spurs-ps25m-rated-belgian-star-160406191022?" target="_blank">Talksport</a> cite reports in the media claiming that Spurs have already made a bid worth $28m to sign him but Zenit are no closer to sanctioning the move.<br />
<iframe src="//platformplayer.my.rightster.com/api/v1/assembly.widget.getWidget?widgetId=player&amp;placementId=6a63f6d8-73f5-413d-9f2d-ebd8fc0d3899&amp;autoplay=1" width="450" height="250" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
As per the provided Talksport link, Italian source Corriere dello Sport claim that Serie A side AS Roma are also in the hunt for the versatile midfielder and are ready to match Spurs&#8217; bid.<br />
At the moment, Mauricio Pochettino has got four Belgian players in his squad and that can tempt the Zenit star to join the North Londoners.<br />
However, Spurs must act swiftly to sign Witsel because Roma are without doubt an attractive and historic club who also look set to play CL football next season as well. The Russian side rate the 27-year-old star around $35m (Talksport).</p>

With CL football likely next season, Spurs must further improve the quality of their squad to challenge the best of team in Europe&#8217;s elite competition.<br />
<span id="more-22621"></span>The North Londoners must sign an out and out forward to strengthen their strike-force. Moreover, they must also improve the midfield and if reports are anything to go by then Spurs are looking to sign Axel Witsel from Zenit (The <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7046105/Tottenham-weigh-up-20m-bid-for-Belgian-playmaker-Axel-Witsel.html" target="_blank">Sun</a>).<br />
As per the provided Sun link, Spurs have been interested in signing him in the past two windows as well and are plotting move to finally secure the signing of $28.5m rated star.<br />
<iframe loading="lazy" src="//platformplayer.my.rightster.com/api/v1/assembly.widget.getWidget?widgetId=player&amp;placementId=6a63f6d8-73f5-413d-9f2d-ebd8fc0d3899&amp;autoplay=1" width="450" height="250" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The 27-year-old Belgian international can play anywhere in the midfield and has been a key player for club and country over the years.<br />
This season, he has directly contributed in 8 goals (4 goals and 4 assists) in 31 games for Andre Villas-Boas&#8217; side.<br />
Tottenham have four Belgian stars in their squad and with Champions League football around as well, Axel may finally end up moving to White Hart Lane.</p>

<span id="more-22375"></span>Highly likely that the North Londoners will be taking part in Europe&#8217;s elite competition UEFA Champions League next season and manager Mauricio Pochettino must bring in CL level players next summer to compete the best of teams in the continent.<br />
One such star linked with Spurs is Belgian international and Zenit midfielder Axel Witsel. Spurs have been keen on signing him for quite some time and they can finally lure him now that the player has himself showed interest in leaving the Russian club and praised Premier League as the best championship (<a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-target-axel-witsel-i-want-to-leave-zenit-in-the-summer-a3209536.html" target="_blank">ES</a>).<br />
<iframe loading="lazy" src="//platformplayer.my.rightster.com/api/v1/assembly.widget.getWidget?widgetId=player&amp;placementId=6a63f6d8-73f5-413d-9f2d-ebd8fc0d3899&amp;autoplay=1" width="450" height="250" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Back in last summer, Spurs were willing to pay £17m for the versatile midfielder but Zenit rate him around £25m and the player eventually opted to stay in Russia as well (<a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-have-not-given-up-hope-of-signing-axel-witsel-a2924736.html" target="_blank">ES</a>). Things have changed now and Spurs must push to finally secure his signature next summer.<br />
Tottenham already have four Belgian internationals in the form of Alderweireld, Dembele, Vertonghen and Chadli. Witsel might be tempted in joining his team mates.<br />
This season, the 27-year-old star has scored <strong>4 goals and provided 4 assists</strong> in 31 games for Zenit (<a href="http://www.transfermarkt.com/axel-witsel/leistungsdaten/spieler/35047" target="_blank">Transfermarkt</a>).</p>

<span id="more-20803"></span>If the latest reports are anything to go by then the North Londoners are linked with Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel.<br />
According to <a href="http://www.calciomercato.com/news/romano-witsel-si-offre-al-milan-179389" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>, the 26-year-old Zenit star is not really interested in moving to Italy and is willing to listen to offers from England. Tottenham are the only English club named by the mentioned Italian source as they were eager to secure him in the summer as well.<br />
<iframe loading="lazy" src="//platformplayer.my.rightster.com/api/v1/assembly.widget.getWidget?widgetId=player&amp;placementId=6a63f6d8-73f5-413d-9f2d-ebd8fc0d3899&amp;autoplay=1" width="450" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The versatile Belgian star is a complete midfielder who has effectively played as a DM, a creative CM and also in the attacking third as well.<br />
However, there is no real need for Tottenham to splash cash and sign Witsel because the midfielders like Dembele, Mason, Dier and Alli are performing brilliantly for them. Pochettino should only focus on securing a cover forward for Harry Kane.</p>

<span id="more-19596"></span>However, with time running out in the transfer window, it will be intriguing to see whether the North Londoners can complete his signing or not.<br />
Nevertheless, reports suggest that Spurs have offered Zenit <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/31/tottenham-hotspur-make-transfer-offer-for-zenit-st-petersburgs-axel-witsel-report-5369063/" target="_blank">$29m</a> to bring Witsel to White Hart Lane and the Russian club are satisfied with the mentioned offer.<br />
The 26-year-old versatile midfielder has the talent to play anywhere in midfield and over the years he has proved that he can effectively perform the roles of a DM, CM and AM as well.<br />
Spurs already have more than a few attacking midfield stars. If Axel does join the North Londoners, expect Mauricio Pochettino to utilize him in the center of the park as a creative midfielder. Bentaleb might be the one to start as DM with Witsel in the midfield.<br />
Here is how Spurs will line up with Axel Witsel.<br />

<span id="more-19591"></span>The North Londoners have strengthened their defensive line by signing three stars in the form of Alderweireld, Wimmer and Trippier.<br />
On the other hand, Spurs have secured two attacking signings as well by luring Clinton Njie from Lyon and South Korean star Son from Bayer Leverkusen.<br />
As the transfer window is reaching its climax, manager Mauricio Pochettino is very eager about signing a complete midfielder and if reports are anything to go by then Tottenham are very close to signing one such star.<br />
<a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/31/tottenham-hotspur-make-transfer-offer-for-zenit-st-petersburgs-axel-witsel-report-5369063/" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7694" src="http://www.sportsbettingday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Axel-Witsel-Zenit.jpeg" alt="Axel Witsel Zenit" width="300" height="200" />Metro</a> cite reports in Italy claiming that Tottenham have officially moved in to sign Belgian star Axel Witsel by offering Zenit 18.9 million pounds to hire his services.<br />
As per the provided link, the Russian side are willing to sell him and are very happy with the offer put forward by the White Hart Lane club.<br />
Witsel is a complete midfield star who will surely improve Tottenham&#8217;s squad. He can play as a defensive midfielder, a creative central midfielder and also as an attacking midfielder.<br />
The 26-year-old star featured in 42 games for Zenit last season and scored 6 goals. Spurs must waste no time in securing his signature.<br />

<span id="more-17159"></span>Jose Mourinho has always had more than one quality player for every position and the Blues are lately linked with a move for complete midfielder.<br />
According to <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/585431/Chelsea-transfer-news-Axel-Witsel-24m-move" target="_blank">reports</a>, Chelsea are planning €33.5m move for the Belgian international Axel Witsel who can play anywhere in midfield.<br />
<a href="http://russianfootballnews.com/exclusive-axel-witsel-close-to-agreement-with-chelsea/" target="_blank">Russian football news</a> also claimed that Blues are close to agreeing move for the former Primeira Liga star.<br />
If the 26 year old midfielder joins Stamford Bridge, expect him to form a partnership with his ex-team mate at Benfica Nemanja Matic in a 4-2-3-1 system, Fabregas will then be pushed further upfront in place of Oscar. Mourinho has mainly preferred this formation and at times 4-3-3 where Matic, Fabregas and Witsel can form the midfield line up.<br />
The Zenit star can also be utilized as an attacking midfielder but Chelsea have better options for that role.<br />
Here is how Chelsea will line up with Axel Witsel.<br />

<span id="more-16361"></span>As far as goalkeeping is concerned, holding onto David de Gea will be as good as any business they will do this summer as he has been their best player this season.<br />
However, the Spanish star needs a stable defense in front of him and Van Gaal must fix that.<br />
The defense has cost Man United many a times this season as it lacks a leader. The Red Devils must do all to secure signing of a top central defender who will lead the line.<br />
According to <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/08/manchester-united-making-18-1m-bid-to-seal-ezequiel-garay-transfer-5187089/" target="_blank">reports</a>, Manchester United are again interested in long term target, Argentine international Ezequiel Garay. The South American star currently plays for Russian side Zenit.<br />
As per the provided link, United did try to sign the former Benfica star when David Moyes was in charge but the deal broke down.<br />
This time around though, United are ready to make an offer of €24.9m offer for the 28 year old star and Metro suggest that Zenit are ready to accept such an offer from the Red Devils.<br />
Garay is an experienced defender and was part of the World Cup squad that reached the final last year.<br />
<strong>Should United sign Garay or will Hummels be the better choice?</strong><br />

<span id="more-16204"></span>As far as midfield department is concerned, the rejuvenated form of Herrera and Fellaini has helped the Red Devils big time this season.<br />
Still, the depth is a concern, on loan Cleverley is not good enough while veteran Carrick will surely not be completing 90 minutes every game next season.<br />
In such a scenario, Manchester United are in for versatile midfielders and lately players like <a href="http://www.sportsbettingday.com/2015/04/amazing-midfielder-gundogan-to-finally-join-man-united/" target="_blank">Ilkay Gundogan</a> and Axel Witsel are linked.<br />
According to latest <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/04/27/manchester-united-cleared-to-make-summer-transfer-approach-for-axel-witsel-5169657/" target="_blank">reports</a>, Manchester United have been cleared to move and sign Belgian international and Zenit star midfielder Axel Witsel in the summer transfer window.<br />
Witsel&#8217;s father has claimed that the 26 year old player has played enough in Russia and now is the time for him to move to another club at the end of the season.<br />
Not to forget, the Belgian star is a huge fan of Man United as not so long ago he claimed how much he loves the Premier Leaugue and Man United. Witsel <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/11/axel-witsel-issues-come-and-get-me-plea-ahead-of-possible-manchester-united-transfer-5058775/" target="_blank">stated</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The voices of the market? I know nothing,&#8221; </strong><br />
<strong>&#8220;Sure, I love the Premier League and United ever since I was little. Sooner or later I want to play in one of the best clubs in Europe. I’m still young, I’ll see what the future holds.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Like his compatriot Fellaini, Witsel is another versatile midfielder who can play as CM, DM or AM and has the quality to improve Man United.<br />
Have your say. Should Louis van Gaal splash the cash to sign Witsel or move to capture German star Gundogan?<br />

<span id="more-15109"></span>Louis van Gaal cannot be more complacent and must sign a quality center half in the next summer transfer window to make amends at the back.<br />
For now, a lot of burden has been taken by Spanish international David de Gea who has arguably been the best player for Man United this season.<br />
According to latest <a href="http://metro.co.uk/tag/manchester-united-transfer-news/" target="_blank">reports</a>, Manchester United are set to sign Argentine international an Ezequiel Garay from Russian side Zenit with €25m deal on the cards.<br />
<a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/19/manchester-united-expect-to-complete-18-5m-ezequiel-garay-transfer-5069482/" target="_blank">Metro</a> claim that the 28 year old former Benfica star has grown frustrated in Russia for his lack of development as a player and United are poised to finally sign him.<br />
This season, Garay has featured in 26 <a href="http://www.transfermarkt.com/ezequiel-garay/leistungsdaten/spieler/35939" target="_blank">appearances</a> for Zenit, scored a goal and provided 3 assists as well.<br />
Ezequiel Garay has been a long term target for Manchester United, and <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-eye-ezequiel-garay-4502157" target="_blank">reports</a> last year have been linking Man United with a move for the top defender as well.<br />
As per the provided Metro link, Italian giants Juventus are also interested in securing his services but Man United are likely to get him.<br />
Garay signing could mean Man United will have an all Argentine central defense with Marcos Rojo and Garay forming a partnership.<br />
