Tottenham is reportedly looking to strengthen its defensive line following a season marked by inconsistent performances at the back. Mitaj has earned recognition for his defensive skills, courage, and excellent ball control, making him a potential target for the London-based club, which is aiming to boost competition within its squad, Albanian media reports.

Despite being under contract with Lokomotiv Moscow, Mitaj has enjoyed a successful stint with Al Ittihad, regularly featuring in the starting lineup and contributing significantly to the team’s results. Reports suggest Tottenham may be preparing an offer to bring him to the Premier League. However, according to the player’s father, the interest from the Spurs has not yet been formalized.
