Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Reims midfielder Amir Richardson.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Tottenham have been watching the 22-year-old midfielder closely and they could look to step up their efforts to sign in this summer. The highly-rated defensive midfielder has impressed with his performances in Ligue 1 and it seems that Tottenham are prepared to provide him with an exit route.
Tottenham need to improve their midfield options this summer, and it is no surprise that they are looking at the talented young Moroccan midfielder. Richardson has the potential to develop into a quality player and he could be a useful acquisition for Tottenham. The North London club need to bring in a quality defensive midfielder after the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Amir Richardson might fancy Tottenham move
The Moroccan under-23 international will be tempted to join a big club like Tottenham and it would be a major step up in his career. He would get to test himself at the highest level and regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
Reims paid €2 million for the player when they signed him from Le Havre in 2022. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable amount of money this summer. Tottenham will not want to pay over the odds. They will need to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well.
The North London outfit will compete in the Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. The 22-year-old would be a handy option and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get the deal across the line.
The 22-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the club in the long-term.
