Atletico Madrid look to be eyeing multiple Tottenham Hotspur players this summer.
It has already been revealed in the last month that Diego Simeone’s men have eyes on Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, whose contract negotiations are currently on hold.
It was stated that the Spanish side have even gone as far as holding discussions with the Argentine defender’s representatives over a potential switch.
