Tottenham have entered the race for the services of Stade de Reims midfield sensation Amir Richardson.

Scouts from multiple top clubs have been keeping a close eye on the Olympics where top talents from across the globe have been doing wonders. Morocco have once again punched above their weight and quite a few of their players have managed to impress scouts from the biggest clubs in Europe.

Midfield sensation Amir Richardson has put in impressive shifts throughout the Olympics and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed. According to a report from Foot Mercato, Tottenham have entered the race for the services of the 22-year-old after watching him closely during the world event.

The Stade Reims star has started all of their games so far and also has a goal to his name. He is expected to be in the starting XI against Spain in the semi-finals today and this game might have a big say on how Spurs go ahead with their interest as they have already added him to their target list for the midfield.

With Pierre-Emile Højbjerg no longer at the club, Tottenham do need more quality in the centre of the park and since Richardson can play in a defensive role as well as a central midfielder, he could be an ideal fit for their setup.

He had an impressive debut campaign for Stade de Reims last season and has carried that form into the Olympics. So far, he has done wonders and if he carries on in similar fashion, Spurs could look to prise him away this summer despite him having three years left on his deal at the French club.
