The two Villarreal stars Tottenham scouted vs Liverpool

Tottenham officials have been scouting two Villarreal talents recently, it has been reported.

Villarreal took on Liverpool in the second of two Champions League semi-final ties this past Tuesday.

The Spanish side headed into the game 2-0 down but, after a dismal first half from Liverpool, were able to bring the score back on level terms.

Of course, Villarreal then collapsed in the second half and Liverpool went on to win 3-2, but it was still an impressive display from the Spanish side, nonetheless.

And, as per 90min, Tottenham officials were present in both legs of Villarreal’s Champions League semi-final defeat to Liverpool to keep a watchful eye over transfer targets Pau Torres and Arnaut Danjuma.

Danjuma did not feature in the second leg, but was given 86 minutes in the first leg at Anfield, whilst Torres started both matches.

Said duo are believed to be on Spurs’ radar for the summer, though it is not stated if an official bid will be forthcoming.

Tottenham & Torres

Tottenham’s interest in Torres does make a lot of sense given that Antonio Conte now plays a back-three and has no natural centre-back to play on the left of that three, with that role currently reserved for Ben Davies.

And whilst Torres did come out and state he rejected Tottenham last summer, Villarreal have since collapsed in the league and are unlikely to be in the Europa League next term.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are still in the race for the top-four, and are guaranteed a top-six finish in 2021/22.
