Morgan Schneiderlin is in the midst of a transfer storm with a a host of Premier League clubs rumoured to be interested in signing Frenchman this January.

Schneiderlin has only made two appearances in the league so far this season and didn’t even manage to make it off the bench during last week’s EFL cup victory over West Ham.

It’s clear that Jose Mourinho doesn’t rate the 27-year-old, meaning he’ll likely be made available this coming January. Should Schneiderlin rediscover the form that got him his big money move to United in the first place, he’ll be a major asset for any Premier League club that signs him.

Tottenham will be looking for reinforcements as they look to qualify for the Champions League for a second successive season, and who knows, maybe even push for the title.

The Lilywhites are yet to hit full stride this season but still find themselves in a respectable position, three points from the top four, and seven from first place.

If Schneiderlin were to come in and settle quickly he could make Tottenham even more difficult to beat than they already are. With that said here are TWO reasons why Tottenham should move for Schneiderlin this January.

He and Wanyama have a great partnership

The Frenchman formed a great partnership with Victor Wanyama during their time together at Southampton. The pair made life extremely difficult for the opposition by protecting their backline with real ferocity,

Southampton conceded the 5th and 2nd least goals in the Premier League during their time together on the south coast.

Pairing the two in defensive midfield would be a great option for Tottenham, especially away against the bigger teams, to give them a solid base, or to help see out games where they already have the lead.

Suits Tottenham’s style of play

Schneiderlin has all the attributes to be successful in a Mauricio Pochettino team, as seen during their time at St Mary’s Stadium.

The Argentine has imposed a similar style of play at Tottenham, a high intensity, pressing game in which tackles and interceptions are key.

Schneiderlin excelled under Pochettino last time, playing some of the best football of his career to date, a move to Tottenham would likely be a wise move for the Frenchman, and could prove to be extremely beneficial for both parties.
