Tottenham emerged bloodied, yet unbeaten after a visit from Bournemouth in yesterday’s big Premier League clash, with Ange Postecoglou obviously relieved that his side were able to make a 0-2 scoreline into a 2-2 draw come full-time. Quite what that those efforts took out of his squad, who must now beat AX Alkmaar on Thursday night, is anyone’s guess.
The never-ending rebuild at Spurs continues, and Dean Huijsen is a name that fits the dynamism that ENIC have shown in recent transfer windows. Which is what will be required, as TuttoJuve have claimed that Bournemouth want £50 million in transfer fees for the former AS Roma loanee.
The Boy Hotspur is told that Tottenham in particular ‘Want to be thoroughly sure ‘before making a move’ for the player, who Bournemouth are ready to offer Huijsen a new contract and want to raise the price for his release.
A number of other sides are hovering, including Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
This is certainly a player with the world at his feet, but might Tottenham’s dreadful form this season appeal, and would the possibility of no European football nudge the Spanish U21 in a different direction?
What will have the Spurs board licking their lips, is the fact that Archie Gray, also 19 in a few days, has made a seamless transition into our first team, and Huijsen already knows the division.
Competition would be tough, but this would be another serious signal of intent from the North London club.
