Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson at the end of the season, and they have been told to pay £51 million for the player.
The 20-year-old central midfielder has been linked with the top clubs in recent months, and he is a player in demand heading into the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature.
Other Premier League clubs are keen on securing his signature, and Tottenham will face competition from rivals Arsenal, as per SportBild (h/t SportWitness).
Tottenham need Hugo Larsson
It is no secret that they need more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and signing the 20-year-old could prove to be a wise decision in the long run. The Swedish International has the quality to establish himself as a key player for the London club.
He will add control, composure and creativity to the side. The technically gifted midfielder has the attributes to thrive in the Premier League, and regular football in England could benefit him as well.
Can Tottenham afford Larsson?
The reported asking price is quite steep for a player who is still largely unproven and outside of the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay that kind of money for him. They need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and it would not be a surprise if they are priced out of a move for the Swedish midfielder.
Meanwhile, Arsenal need more quality and depth in the middle of the park as well. They have the resources to sign the player, and they could be a more attractive destination for Larsson. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for the league title as well.
It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
