Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Ajax youngster Rayane Bounida.
According to a report from Het Parool, Tottenham technical director Johan Lange was in attendance to watch the player in action this week. Tottenham will be able to open talks for the youngster in January, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for Bounida.
He could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the North London club. They have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players in recent years, and Bounida would be a long-term investment for them. If they can secure his signature for a reasonable amount of money, the move could look like a bargain in the long term.
Meanwhile, the Ajax youngster will be tempted to join the Premier League club as well. It will be a major step up in his career, and he would get to test himself in English football. Regular exposure to the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.
Tottenham need to improve their squad in the coming months if they want to push for major trophies. Although Bounida might not be able to make an immediate impact at Tottenham, he will be a future prospect for them. They could nurture him into a first-team star in the near future.
The highly rated attacking midfielder has nine goals and an assist in 15 appearances for the Ajax youth team this season and he is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an official proposal to sign the player in January. His contract expires in the summer of 2025, and the North London club will hope to land him for a bargain.
