Already courted last summer and then this winter, Sven Botman knows he will probably leave LOSC next summer. Its name is already everywhere in England and Italy and Lille can already imagine a great added value.
The winter transfer window has barely closed its doors when it is already on everyone’s lips. Sven Botman has understood this very well himself, he will most likely change clubs next summer, after two full seasons at Lille. He who had landed in the North without the slightest status amazed everyone, contributing to the defensive impermeability of LOSC in the conquest of the title last season.
Very quickly, the France of football saw his qualities. No, Botman, with his 95 meter, is not just a mountain of muscles. He is a defender who knows how to understand space, with perfect timing in his interventions and who has a good recovery. Proof that he is complete, the clubs interested in him come just as much from England, where they are conquered by his physical dimension, as from Italy, where the tactical culture is no longer to be presented.
Newcastle and Tottenham already hot
“I can confirm that Newcastle and AC Milan were concrete options this winter. Both were good options for me. I guess I will take a good step in my career next summer”he said a few days ago at the microphone of Ziggo Sports. Indeed, Newcastle is already ready to return to the charge, as explained The Athletic, after offering €35m at the start of the winter transfer window. Insufficient to convince the LOSC, which can believe in a higher sale next summer.
As assured The Daily Telegraph this Friday, Tottenham also ticked the name of the 22-year-old Dutchman, not yet an international A. He is part of a list of defenders spotted to delight Antonio Conte, a coach who knows how to build almost impassable defenses. And it’s safe to think that other top English clubs will be looking at Botman by then. LOSC can already rub their hands imagining the added value on this player bought for € 8 million from Ajax Amsterdam in 2020.
