Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Rennes winger Desire Doue.
The 19-year-old is highly rated in French football and he has been linked with the move away from Rennes this summer. According to a report from Give Me Sport, the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on the winger as well.
Tottenham need more quality and depth in the wide areas and the 19-year-old could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. He will add goals and creativity from the wide areas.
The winger has the quality and the potential to develop into an important first-team player for Tottenham with the right guidance. The opportunity to play in English football will be an attractive one for him and he will hope that the two clubs can secure an agreement soon.
However, the report states that the asking price could rise to £60 million and it seems highly unlikely that Tottenham will agree to pay that kind of money for the player. They need to improve their attacking unit, but they will have to bring in quality additions in the other areas of the squad as well. Spending £60 million on a winger might not be possible for them this summer.
It will be interesting to see if Rennes are willing to lower their demands in the coming weeks. The 19-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he has the potential to justify the investment in the long run. It remains to be seen whether clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United are willing to come forward and pay the asking price for him.
