Recent news indicates that Bjorn Engels has been ruled out of the Euros due to an injury suffered in the last game of Club Brugge's title-winning season. The 6' 4" (1.93 m) central defender has been called the best Belgian player not currently playing in the Premier League. And he's still only 21 years-of-age. Of course at that age he still has much to learn and central defenders typically take more time to mature than (say) strikers. But he looks a decent talent and could be a great alternative to Alderweireld at the heart of the Spurs defence.

Here's a YouTube clip:

Poch is currently sitting with Shane Long's agent watching IRE vs Holland

Bazoer, Janssen, Veltman and Long are probably the ones he might be there for imo.

Shane Long is 29, so that's a non-starter. You're probably right about the other 3. I've seen some people claim Bazoer is similar to Dembele, Janssen was the top U23 scorer in Europe with 27 league goals- he was also very impressive against England with the work-rate Poch would be looking for. And as I've said before Veltman seems like Toby Jr so I wouldn't be surprised if we were interested.

Edit- That being said, it looks like Veltman is starting at RB, like he did at the end of the season for Ajax, so maybe that's his position now which would reduce any interest we have...?

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino in the crowd here in Dublin. Taking a look at NUFC's Georginio Wijnaldum? More likely Ajax's Riechedly Bazoer

Pochettino in Dublin watching the Republic of Ireland game. Interesting... #Long #Bazoer
@SkySportsLyall
Pochettino at Ireland-Holland to watch Vincent Janssen, if anyone. He's on the list.#THFC

That's the thing with Lyall. Now he says Janssen's on the list when most people would guess that. Why didn't he tell us weeks ago if he knew...?

Strootman a quality player, even after his injury problems. Proper midfield general.

26 is on the edge of the range we tend to buy at though, and Roma won't let him go cheap.

He was great pre injury. Have you seen anything of him since he returned?

Only 2 years left on his contract, so he shouldn't be too expensive on the back of his injury problems too. It will definitely be a now or never for us as bigger fish will be after him after 1 full injury free season.

I wonder if he meet feel he has to pay back Roma for looking after him in the dark times though. Jumping ship as soon as he's fit makes him look like a bit of a shit.

Problem is that there's a good chance Pjanic or Nainggolan (or both) will be sold, which would make any attempt to sign Strootman near-impossible- unless we act before other clubs.
