Fabrizio Romano provides Douglas Luiz update amid links with Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Douglas Luiz over recent weeks, and now Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the future of the Juventus midfielder.

It has been reported by a number of sources over recent weeks that Tottenham are keen on adding a number six to their squad.

Several defensive midfielders have been mooted as targets for Spurs this summer, although Joao Palhinha appears to have risen to the top and is expected to have his Tottenham medical today.

One of those is Douglas Luiz, whose situation Spurs are said to be monitoring closely, with the Brazilian thought to be keen on returning to the Premier League after struggling for game time in his first season at Juventus.

Some sources have reported that Spurs officials are aware that Luiz wants to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after speaking to the midfielder.

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to confirm that the former Aston Villa man is eyeing a Premier League return as a ‘priority’ this summer.

The journalist adds that the 27-year-old’s relationship with the Juve hierarchy has broken down, and his representatives are now assessing the various options on the table.

West Ham are challenging Tottenham for Luiz’s signature

Over recent days, some sources have claimed that West Ham are now plotting a move for Luiz, who is valued at around €23m-€25m (£19.8m-£21.6m).

However, according to TBR Football, Luiz is thought to prefer a move to Tottenham over West Ham. The same update revealed that Nottingham Forest and Everton are also circling over the Brazil international.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham would be interested in signing both Luiz and Palhinha on loan, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur both in the final years of their respective contracts.
