Tottenham Hotspur are now monitoring an "insane" midfielder, with a summer transfer possible if they are willing to pay the £50m+ asking price, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.
Tottenham planning midfield rebuild
Tottenham are planning to rejig their midfield in the summer transfer window, with manager Ange Postecoglou now making the call to cash-in on Yves Bissouma, in order to fund a move for Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, who is expected to cost around £66m.
Bissouma has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, namely Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton, and the 28-year-old's time in north London could be coming to an end, having played a more sporadic role in recent weeks.
Wharton is not the only midfielder on the shortlist, however, with AS Monaco's Lamine Camara also of interest, while Spurs are also in the race to sign Sunderland's Jobe Bellingham, who could be allowed to leave the Championship club for a big fee this summer.
Not only are Tottenham in the running for the Sunderland star, but they are also one of the clubs keen on signing a player who's drawn comparisons to his brother Jude.
Plettenberg has recently confirmed Spurs are now "monitoring" Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson, who is attracting widespread interest ahead of the summer transfer window, with Arsenal, Liverpool and several other unnamed teams also keen.
A summer move is said to be a possibility, should Frankfurt receive a fee of at least €60m (£50m), with the German club expecting "concrete offers" to be put forward.
"Insane" Larsson could be an excellent signing
Freelance scout Ben Mattinson has lauded Larsson as being "very similar to Bellingham", while also praising him for his engine and ability to drive the ball forward.
Postecoglou is well-known for his high-pressing, attacking style, which means it is important to have players with good stamina, indicating the Frankfurt star could be a perfect fit for the Australian's system.
Not only that, but the Swedish midfielder has also proven himself to be a consistent goal threat, ranking in the 89th percentile for non-penalty goals per 90 over the past year, when compared to his positional peers.
At just 20-years-old, Larsson could be a fantastic long-term addition to Postecoglou's squad, so it is promising news Tottenham could be in the race for his signature this summer.
