Multiple reliable news outlets have reported that the race to sign Martin Baturina is heating up, as reports indicate that Tottenham have now officially submitted a bid for the player as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the run-in. Talks are expected to continue over the coming days - with Como 1907 said to be reluctant to let him go for a penny less than their valuation. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Leeds decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. In season 25/26, Tottenham are conceding 1.53 goals per game (55 in 36 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Martin Baturina would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Alongside this, Como 1907 are said to be exploring Yan Couto, Cesar Palacios and Luis Milla with Tottenham likewise connected to Ander Barrenetxea, Jean Matteo Bahoya and Santiago Gimenez.
