Tottenham Hotspur targets Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in signing Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez. The North London club has had two bids rejected for Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke and is now exploring other options. Ordonez, a 22-year-old Ecuador international, has impressed in the Belgian Pro League, winning multiple domestic titles. He is participating in the World Cup with Ecuador, which could attract further attention from Premier League clubs. Spurs may need to act quickly to secure his services, especially as they may lose captain Cristian Romero this summer.
