Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath.
The 20-year-old Frenchman has been a key player for the Austrian club this season and his performances have caught the attention of the North London club.
A report from 90 Min claims that Tottenham represent representatives were in attendance during Salzburg’s win at the weekend in the Austrian Bundesliga. Apparently, the Tottenham officials were keeping tabs on the 20-year-old defensive midfielder.
Gourna-Douath is highly rated around Europe and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham. They could certainly use more depth in the defensive midfield department, especially if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg leaves the club in the coming months.
The Denmark international has fallen down the pecking order at Tottenham and he is expected to move on in search of regular playing time.
The Salzburg ace would be a long-term investment for Tottenham and it remains to be seen whether they decide to follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal in the coming months.
The Austrian outfit have a proven track record of producing talented young players who have gone on to establish themselves as key players for European heavyweights and Gourna-Douath could follow in their footsteps as well.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be an attractive proposition for the 20-year-old. He joined the Austrian club in 2022 for a fee of around €15 million and Salzburg are likely to push for a healthy profit if Tottenham come calling.
