After opening talks for Andrew Robertson, Daniel Levy is reportedly targeting a second raid on Anfield for midfield ace Curtis Jones.
Tottenham Hotspur is not holding back in the 2026 winter window. After making headlines with an ambitious move for legendary left-back Andrew Robertson, Spurs have now set their sights on a second Liverpool star: Curtis Jones.
According to reports from DaveOCKOP and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano’s recent updates on the London club’s activity, Tottenham’s board is determined to provide Ange Postecoglou with a squad capable of competing for the title.
The Midfield Reinforcement: Why Curtis Jones?
The interest in Curtis Jones stems from Postecoglou’s desire for a dynamic, “box-to-box” midfielder who understands the intensity of the Premier League.
- Youth and Energy: At 24/25 years old, Jones is entering his prime and fits the high-pressing philosophy of the “Angeball” system.
- Homegrown Status: As an English player, Jones is a valuable asset for squad registration rules, something Tottenham is keen to optimize.
The “Anfield Wall”: Arne Slot’s Stance
However, pulling off this double raid will be anything but easy. Arne Slot is reportedly loath to lose two key components of his squad mid-season.
- Andrew Robertson: Despite Spurs’ persistent talks, Slot views the Scotsman as an essential leader in the dressing room.
- Curtis Jones: Liverpool considers Jones a “vital” part of their long-term project. Unlike Robertson, who is in the later stages of his career, Jones is seen as a player whose value will only increase.
Financial Backing
Tottenham currently has the resources to invest, and chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to back Postecoglou. While negotiations for Robertson are already “difficult,” adding Jones to the equation makes this one of the most complex and expensive operations of the window.
So far, no official bid has been launched for Jones, but the message from North London is clear: Tottenham is no longer afraid to raid their “Big Six” rivals to reach the top.
