Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on an exciting young talent this summer, with the latest name linked to the club being Rennes’ attacking midfielder, Desire Doue.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed that Doue is a significant target for Tottenham, underscoring the club’s genuine interest.
Romano highlighted that the North London club’s board is particularly keen on Doue, seeing him as a valuable addition to their squad.
Doue, a highly regarded talent, has caught the attention of numerous top clubs across Europe. The Lilywhites view him as a valuable addition to their squad, fitting well with their strategy to introduce a young talent.
Romano highlighted that Spurs have already conveyed their interest to Doue’s representatives, making it clear that he is a priority for the North London club.
Speaking on Playback TV, Romano stated:
“Tottenham have a genuine interest in Desire Doue. He’s one of the players appreciated by Tottenham board.
“Desire Doue is one of the best talents in his position. He’s on the list of several clubs, also in the list of Tottenham.
“It’s true that Desire Doue is another player they are considering internally. They have already expressed their interest to the agents of the player. So Desire Doue is one to watch for Tottenham.”
Doue, 19, has been making significant strides at Rennes since joining their youth academy at the age of five. He signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2022 and debuted in Ligue 1 in August of the same year.
Primarily an attacking midfielder, Doue’s versatility allows him to play on either wing or as a forward. His acceleration, pace, and excellent dribbling skills make him a formidable offensive threat.
Last season, Doue made 31 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring four goals and providing five assists in his 17 starts. His performances have drawn comparisons to Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, another standout from Rennes’s youth system.
Tottenham’s interest in Doue aligns with their recent strategy to introduce young, versatile talent into their squad. The club has already conveyed their interest to Doue’s representatives, making it clear that he is a priority for the team.
