Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Rennes winger Desire Doue this summer.

The 19-year-old winger is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. His performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham and they have already made contact with the agents of the player.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the attacker in the coming weeks.

The report from TEAMtalk claims that the French club could demand around £50 million for the highly-rated winger and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are willing to pay that kind of money for his services.

Doue has shown his quality in Ligue 1 and he is only going to get better with coaching and experience. He has attributes to develop into a quality winger for the Premier League side. However, the asking price seems quite steep and Tottenham will not want to pay over the odds.

Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for being a difficult negotiator, and he will look to negotiate a more reasonable price for the 19-year-old.

It remains to be seen whether the clubs can secure an agreement over the next few weeks. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will certainly be an attractive proposition for Doue. He will look to prove himself in English and establish himself as a player for the North London club.

Tottenham need more goals and creativity from the wide areas and signing a future prospect like Doue would be a wise decision.
