Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a late swoop to sign Real Sociedad right-back Jon Aramburu before the transfer window closes.
The North London club have been left short of options at right-back following Djed Spence’s departure to Inter Milan this summer.
Pedro Porro currently stands as the only specialist right-back in the squad, leaving Roberto De Zerbi’s side keen to add competition in that position.
Archie Gray has provided occasional cover at right-back, but the youngster is predominantly regarded as a midfielder by trade.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are keen to continue spending despite already outlaying a significant amount of money during this transfer window.
Aramburu has a £51m release clause in his current Real Sociedad contract, which runs until 2030, making any potential deal a sizeable investment.
The Venezuelan defender’s future at Real Sociedad has become uncertain following the club’s decision to sign Hector Fort from Barcelona this summer.
Aramburu is described as a technically gifted player who is comfortable on the ball, good in the air, and efficient in his defensive contributions.
He made 42 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring one goal and keeping four clean sheets, cementing his status as a regular starter for Real Sociedad.
Having impressed consistently at club level, Aramburu has also secured his place in the Venezuelan national team, highlighting his growing reputation.
Tottenham’s need for attacking reinforcements is also driving their activity in the market, with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo reportedly on their radar as they seek a new forward.
The Lilywhites returned to winning form in midweek, thrashing Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the EFL Cup following a disappointing 3-0 opening-day Premier League defeat to Brentford.
Tottenham now face Newcastle United at home in their next Premier League fixture before a clash with Nottingham Forest follows the following month.
Whether the club makes a concrete move for Aramburu before the window shuts remains to be seen, with time running short for any deal to be completed.
