Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are heading into a crucial end to the season, but their focus is already starting to shift towards the summer transfer window.
Both clubs find themselves in very different situations. Villa are pushing to secure European football, while Tottenham are still fighting to avoid relegation under Roberto De Zerbi.
However, despite those contrasting positions, they share a common goal. According to talkSPORT, both sides are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones this summer.
The 25-year-old has become a key talking point due to his situation at Anfield. While he has featured in 44 matches across all competitions, he has only started 13 Premier League games under Arne Slot.
That lack of consistent league minutes has left him frustrated. As a result, Jones is now strongly considering his future at the club he joined as a nine-year-old.
Aston Villa have already added the England international to their shortlist as they look to strengthen ahead of a potential European campaign.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are also monitoring the situation closely. If they manage to secure their top-flight status, they might to push for his signature.
There is also interest from abroad. Inter Milan attempted to sign Jones during the January window and could return with another approach.
Despite the uncertainty, his record at Liverpool remains solid. Jones has scored 21 goals in 223 appearances and won two Premier League titles, three domestic cups and the Champions League.
With just one year left on his contract, this summer represents a key decision point for both Liverpool and Curtis Jones.
