The offer from Spurs is thought to be worth €15 million (£13 million) plus add-ons.
The north London outfit’s need for a new centre-back has been well-documented over the past few weeks.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s priority will surely be to strengthen his side’s back-line, having been handed the gig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tomiyasu bid lodged by Spurs
That’s according to David Ornstein:
Tottenham pursuing deal for Takehiro Tomiyasu. #THFC believed to have bid €15m + add-ons, Bologna want €17m guaranteed + add-ons. Atalanta keen but they’ve been told 22yo wants Spurs. Also on #MUFC list but not priority. With @CDEccleshare @TheAthleticUK https://t.co/pcw3AWFdyS

So it seems as though Tottenham need to raise their offer by a couple of million Euros.
Tomiyasu, 22, is a top class centre-back, and €17 million (£14.6 million) would actually represent very good value for Spurs.
The 23-capped Japan international made 31 Serie A appearances for Bologna last season. During those outings he averaged 1.5 tackles, 1.7 interceptions and 3.3 clearances per game. He also won an average of 2.9 aerial duels per match.
The 22-year-old is dominant in the air and is well known for being a very competent man-marker.
He is a very good passer of the football as well.
Tomiyasu made 48.7 passes per game on average last season and recorded an impressive 82.1% completion rate.
Signing the Japanese ace for just £14.6 million this summer seems like an absolute no-brainer for Tottenham.
We all know what Daniel Levy is like, however. This is one that could rumble on and on…and on.
