Spurs have been linked with signing a new number six

Tottenham is "step[ping] up their efforts" to recruit Ederson, a 24-year-old center defensive-midfielder for the team, according to TeamTalk. The Brazilian has played 77 games for the Italian team in all competitions, including eight in the Europa League, where his team is now leading the quarterfinals 3-0 overall.

The supporters of Tottenham have been attacking Ange Postecoglou on social media in recent weeks for sticking with Yves Bissouma as his center-backer. Anyone who has watched 'Ange-ball' in action would know that a defensive midfielder must be prepared to retire during counterattacks due to the dangerously high-line at the back. But in these situations, Bissouma has frequently been caught out of position—way too high up the pitch. Due to this, Micky van de Ven has had to shoulder a large portion of the defensive load. Despite being the quickest player in the Premier League, this hasn't always been sufficient, as seen by last week's outcome.
