Wolfsburg defender Konstantinos Koulierakis has been linked with a move away from the German club in the coming months.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in him. However, former Everton CEO Keith Wyness believes the defender could head to Tottenham instead.
The 21-year-old is highly rated across Europe and has done well in Germany. He has the physicality and technical qualities of English football, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for both clubs.
Liverpool need a quality central defender, especially with Ibrahima Konate expected to leave the club at the end of the season. His contract expires in the summer of 2026 and he has not signed an extension with the club.
Tottenham could also use more depth in the defensive unit. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can complete the deal.
Will Konstantinos Koulierakis join Tottenham?
Keith Wyness told Football Insider: Well, I have to say that Liverpool currently have five or six potential targets. This is another one to add to the list.
“However, I don’t know if he is going to Liverpool. I think Spurs are another player in the race. They already have Micky van de Ven, who has been incredible lately. I mean, what an athlete he is.
“Koulierakiswho is currently at Wolfsburg, is certainly one of the best young defenders and will attract a lot of attention. But I think maybe he’ll go to Spurs, that’s what I hear, rather than Liverpool.
Koulierakis is a talented player
Koulierakis would be a future investment and he could become a key player for either club. Both teams will represent attractive opportunities for the player. He will want to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies. Players like Liverpool and Tottenham will be able to provide him with this platform.
