What we know

Tottenham Hotspur is among several Premier League clubs monitoring Dinamo Zagreb striker Dion Beljo, with reports pointing to a potential move in the January transfer window. Manchester United and Everton are also named as interested parties, while Fichajes.net adds Real Betis to the mix, claiming the Spanish side is leading the race.

His contract at Dinamo Zagreb runs to June 2030, giving the Croatian club time but also leaving the door open for a winter bid. The story broke on 13 October, when TEAMtalk reported that Tottenham was among several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Beljo. The same day, Sportskeeda, BBC Sport, CaughtOffside and EPL Index all picked up the story, each echoing TEAMtalk’s claim of January interest. On 14 October, Goal and a second BBC Sport article repeated the same line, both attributing the story to TEAMtalk.

Fichajes.net, publishing later on 31 October, is the only source to introduce a new element: it claims Real Betis is leading the race for Beljo, while still placing Tottenham among the interested parties.
