Tottenham transfer target Marcelo Brozovic 'one of the best'
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic over the past year as he impressed for his nation once again at the World Cup.
Brozovic's display in Croatia's quarter-final win over tournament favourites Brazil resulted in former Spurs star Jurgen Klinsmann praising the midfielder, labelling him as 'one of the best in the world'.
Prior to the match, BBC Sport pundit Jurgen Klinsmann lauded Brozovic while talking about another reported Spurs target, Josko Gvardiol.
"Coaches want to see from the centre-back their ability to move into midfield and be protected. That’s where Brozovic comes into the picture, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world," Klinsmann said.

Dejan Kulusevski and Matt Doherty impress vs Motherwell
Matt Doherty
Over on the left in Sessegnon and Perisic's absence. Picked out Spence with a pinpoint deep cross early in the half before getting on the scoresheet with a low shot after cutting inside from the touchline. He was put through again by Kulusevski in the second half but curled his effort wide from the edge of the box. Switched to the right of the back three after Sayers' exit and headed home a second goal from a Kulusevski corner. 9
Dejan Kulusevski
Looked sharp from the off and had a goal just two minutes in when he picked up a loose ball and fired in a low shot past the goalkeeper. He covered plenty of ground and put Spence through for a big chance between Spurs' first two goals in the first half. He was also involved in the build-up to Doherty's goal before teeing up Gil for Tottenham's third goal before the break. He then curled a pass into the path of Doherty for a second half chance before delivering the corner the Irishman scored from. A goal and two assists from the excellent Swede. 9
Arsenal beat Spurs to Evan Ndicka signing as 'agreement reached'
Il Romanista has now reported that Arsenal have beaten Tottenham to Evan Ndicka’s signature. The Italian outlet claims that the Gunners have already reached an agreement to sign him in the summer for nothing.
Despite his young age, Ndicka already has over 150 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions. The French defender could prove to be a major coup on a free transfer with his physical attributes and ability on the ball making him an ideal centre-back in the Premier League.
