Tottenham want midfield gem who experts think is perfectly suited to the Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur have shifted their sights to an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, but they could face a lot of competition from their Premier League rivals for the starlet.
The lack of creativity in the middle of the park has plagued Tottenham right since the start of the season.
While the returns of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski would solve some of the team’s issues, one would not be surprised if the Lilywhites also added another creative midfielder to their squad in the summer.
According to a new report, Spurs’ attention has been captured by a young German starlet, who is thriving in the second tier of German football this term.
Tottenham want Francis Onyeka but deal is dependent on crucial factor
Bayer Leverkusen’s Francis Onyeka has developed a big reputation with his performances on loan at Bundesliga 2 side Bochum, and that has not gone unnoticed in England.
According to Sports Boom, experts see Onyeka as a perfect fit for the Premier League’s physical intensity, with several clubs monitoring him and gathering data about the youngster over recent months.
One of those clubs is Tottenham, who have added the attacking midfielder to its transfer shortlist of ‘high-potential playmakers’.
It is revealed that Spurs are currently planning for two different scenarios this summer: one if they stay in the Premier League and another if they go down to the Championship.
The report reveals that the Leverkusen academy graduate is unlikely to greenlight a move to North London if they were to get relegated.
Three Premier League clubs could challenge Spurs for Onyeka
SportsBoom say that Onyeka’s elite metrics in running distance, key pass accuracy and ball recoveries have been flagged by Brighton, whose scouts have been closely tracking the youngster.
Additionally, the attacking midfielder is also on the wishlist of Aston Villa and Leeds United ahead of the summer window.
While RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund also hold an interest in Onyeka, it is revealed that the Leverkusen board may prefer selling the player to a Premier League club rather than a domestic rival.
