Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Athletic Club Bilbao midfielder Oihan Sancet during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool and Aston Villa are also interested in signing the player. According to a report from Fichajes, his contract has an €80 million release clause, and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League clubs are willing to pay up.
Sancet has done quite well for the outfit this season, with 16 goals and three assists.
The 24-year-old is still relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a quality player for Tottenham if they can get the deal done.
Tottenham need more goals and creativity from the middle of the park, and the 24-year-old could compete with James Maddison for the starting spot. Maddison has been inconsistent this season. Competition for places will help both players improve.
It has been a mediocre season for Tottenham, and they need to improve their squad if they want to bounce back strongly. Signing a quality midfielder should be one of their priorities.
Liverpool want Oihan Sancet as well
Similarly, Liverpool need to add more quality in the middle of the park. They need someone who can score goals consistently. Players like Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are not prolific goal-scorers, and Sancet would add a new dimension to their midfield.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for the La Liga midfielder. It will be an exciting challenge at this stage of his career, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running.
Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. However, the reported asking price is quite steep, and the Spanish outfit will have to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.
