Tottenham Hotspur want to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson.
According to a report from SportBILD via SportWitness, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder has attracted the attention of the top clubs and Spurs will face competition from Arsenal and Liverpool as well.
Meanwhile, the likes of AC Milan and Real Madrid are keeping tabs on his progress as well. The midfielder is valued at €50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get a deal across the line.
The 20-year-old is capable of operating as an advanced central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder. He will add goals and creativity in the final third. His ability to carve out opportunities for his teammates with his passing and vision could make him an asset for the north London club. He has been described as a player with ‘exceptional ball control ‘.
Although Tottenham have James Maddison playing in that role, the England international has been quite inconsistent. They need more depth in that area of the pitch and the competition for places will help Spus improve as a squad. Larsson is highly rated across Europe and he has all the attributes to develop into a top-class player. It remains to be seen if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are keeping tabs on his progress as well. They need an alternative to Martin Odegaard. They have been overly dependent on the Norwegian International for creativity from the central areas. They need more depth in the side in order to compete for major trophies. Larsson would be a quality long-term investment for them.
Similarly, Liverpool need to add more craft to their squad, especially if Mohamed Salah leaves the club in the summer. The Egyptian will be out of contract at the end of the season.
It remains to be seen where the 20-year-old playmaker ends up eventually.
