Tottenham Hotspur is preparing a winter move for Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet. The club is seeking competition for its Micky van de Ven–Cristian Romero pairing, and speculation regarding a potential exit for Radu Dragusin is a factor in Spurs' desire to increase their defensive options. According to information provided to Caughtoffside by sources close to the situation, Chelsea and Crystal Palace have watched Oumar Solet play in person. The same sources reported that Manchester United and West Ham are monitoring him as a long-term target. In Italy, Inter, AC Milan and Roma have produced positive reports. Regarding the financial aspects, Udinese intends to maintain a strong negotiating position in January, and an initial asking price in the mid-to-high range with bonuses is anticipated. A loan with an option to buy is a possibility. Premier League clubs are likely to propose payments in instalments and performance-related add-ons to adhere to Financial Sustainability rules. Wage structure and non-homegrown quotas will also influence decisions.

Tottenham Hotspur are one of five Premier League clubs tracking Udinese defender Oumar Soulet and have watched the 25-year-old in action. Manager Thomas Frank is reportedly keen to add more competition for the starting pair of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, amid speculation that Radu Dragusin could depart. The interest in Soulet is widespread, as Chelsea and Crystal Palace have also reportedly watched the defender. Furthermore, Manchester United and West Ham are considered to have a long-term interest in him, while in Italy, his form has impressed Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Roma.
