Tottenham to rival Everton for England defender Conor Coady

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to enter the race to sign Wolves defender Conor Coady despite Everton’s interest in the England international, according to a report in England.

Website Football Insider is reporting that new Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo wants to sign the Wolves defender after the Portuguese head coach took over the reins of the north London club.

The same article states that Nuno emphasised that he wanted to make the 28-year-old a priority transfer target during his discussions to become the next Tottenham manager.

According to the same story, Tottenham are braced for competition from Everton for Coady’s signature as the Toffees look to lure the former Liverpool FC defender back to Merseyside.

The report goes on to add that Everton and Spurs are looking to secure one senior centre-half this summer to improve their respective defences under Rafael Benitez and Nuno.
