Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on Torino defender Perr Schuurs ahead of the summer window closing next week
Torino defender Perr Schuurs could be set for a move to the Premier League amid interest from Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. The 23-year-old only joined the Italian outfit last summer from Ajax for roughly £7.7million but he has greatly impressed which has prompted links to England's top flight.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou has already revealed he is looking to sign a new defender alongside Micky van de Ven who joined from Wolfsburg earlier in the window. Klopp is also hoping to welcome another member to his back line after failing to tempt Chelsea's Levi Colwill with an Anfield switch.
So, with that said, football.london has rounded up the latest news on Schuurs and his potential move to the Premier League.
Timber replacement
Arsenal are considering making a move for Schuurs before the window slams shut to replace Jurrien Timber. According to La Stampa [via Torino Granata], the Gunners have began work to bring the former Ajax man to north London.
The report claims they are 'thinking of Schuurs' before the window shuts next Friday.
Tottenham interest
Perr Schuurs has concrete interest from several suitors with Tottenham as one of the teams strongly linked to acquiring his services.
Transfer specialist Dean Jones told the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast that the N17 outfit are keeping a keen eye on Schuurs as an option this summer.
Arsenal plan
Arsenal have closely followed the progress of Perr Schuurs and could soon make a move to sign the defender, but first Mikel Arteta will have to make a key decision.
Speaking about Arsenal's transfer plans, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “It’s important for Arsenal to decide if they want a new centre-back or full-back, because we know Timber can play both positions.
“Arsenal need to decide what the right signing will be, and they will only act if they are convinced they’ve found the right option, that’s always their strategy - I don’t see them spending crazy money.”
Liverpool bid
A formal offer has already been submitted to sign Perr Schuurs with Liverpool lodging that official bid, however it was turned down according to Tutto Sport. It was also noted that the official proposal was over €30million (£26m).
Price tag
If Torino sell Perr Schuurs this summer they will almost definitely make a profit having signed him for just £7.7million.
The Italian club would be willing to start negotiations for the Netherlands international at €20-25million (£17-£21.3m) with Liverpool quoted at €40million (£35m) following their unsuccessful bid.
