Andersen on Spurs, United radar

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will need to pay at least £25m to sign Lyon centre-back Joachim Andersen this summer.



The Dane joined Fulham on a season-long loan last summer, and he has impressed in his 25 Premier League appearances.

Both United and Spurs have been keeping tabs on him, and The Telegraph claims that they could compete for his services later this year.

Les Gones are going through financial problems at the moment, and they are willing to accept around £25m for the 24-year-old's sale.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing a new partner for Harry Maguire and Andersen could be a low-cost option with valuable league experience.

Spurs are also looking to reinforce their backline ahead of next season, and it remains to be seen whether they can lure Andersen to the club.

Spurs will host United in the Premier League on Sunday. They are currently three points adrift of the top four, and 11 behind second-placed United.
