Negotiations are underway regarding Tarik Muharemovic, with Tottenham keen to finalise a deal with Sassuolo as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The defender has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. Tottenham are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Newcastle, Leipzig and Inter are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far in this season, Tottenham are conceding 1.53 goals a game (55 in 36), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Tarik Muharemovic adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Tottenham have recently been linked with Nicolo Fagioli, Lucas Ronier Vieira Pires and Andrea Cambiaso while Sassuolo have had no rumoured targets.
