Maxime Estève Linked With Summer Move Amid Premier League Interest
French defender Maxime Estève is attracting attention from several clubs this summer, but Tottenham Hotspur have not made an approach or entered talks at this stage as they focus on other transfer targets.
TRANSFER RUMORS SURROUND ESTÈVE
Maxime Estève, who plays for Burnley, is in high demand during this transfer window. Tottenham once offered €24 million for him, but Burnley rejected the bid. They want more than €35 million for Estève. Though there were rumors of new negotiations, neither side has made new moves or started talks yet.
ESTÈVE’S RISE AND BURNLEY’S SEASON
Estève, age 23, had an excellent season with Burnley. He played in 46 league matches and was part of one of the best defenses in the Championship. Burnley allowed only 16 goals and kept 30 clean sheets during their Championship-winning campaign. His passing skills and calmness on the field helped a lot. Burnley finished second in the Championship, narrowly missing out on the title to Leeds on goal difference. Now back in the Premier League, Burnley hopes to keep their key player, Estève.
According to a previous report, Burnley conceded only 16 goals and kept 30 clean sheets in their Championship-winning campaign.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR SPURS AND ESTÈVE?
Tottenham are looking at other options for now and have not made Estève a priority. But they could change their plans if players like Cristian Romero leave. He is being watched by Atlético Madrid. Burnley are preparing for the Premier League and want Estève to stay as they aim for a good start.
