The full picture
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Celtic playmaker Benjamin Nygren, having monitored him since the summer transfer window. Nygren has had a productive season with eight goals and six assists in 19 appearances. He has been under contract with Celtic, and the club is aware that big-money offers may lure him away. Celtic have tied him down to a new contract, but may struggle to keep him if a suitable offer arrives.
Celtic are aware that Nygren's impressive performances have alerted clubs in England and elsewhere to his potential. Pete O'Rourke told Football Insider that it would be hard to keep Nygren if a club from a bigger league makes an offer. Nygren is under a long-term contract, but Celtic have seen players lured away by finances offered by other clubs. The club is relaxed about Nygren's situation but aware of the potential difficulties.
Tottenham's interest in Nygren may be revived in the winter window or wait until summer, and they may face competition from rivals for his signature. The club is looking to invest in a central midfielder, and Nygren's skills could be an attractive addition. Roberto De Zerbi has improved the Spurs squad, but there are still holes to be plugged, and James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski's fitness is a concern.

Source context
Tottenham Hotspur are seemingly keen to invest in a central midfielder, and that could happen as early as January, despite the club splashing £185 million combined on Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes in the summer transfer window. Roberto De Zerbi has certainly improved the squad in many ways, bringing togetherness and fighting spirit within the group as they look to compete for European spots. After a six-game winless start to the season, Spurs have been on the up with three wins and a draw in the last four games.
