Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Bundesliga midfielder Can Uzun.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed in Germany and attracted the attention of Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle United. He is being seen as the new “golden boy” of European football, according to SportsBoom.
Can Uzun will cost a premium
The player is valued at €80 million (£70m), and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up for him. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and the Turkish attacker is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will look to add goals and creativity to the team.
The 20-year-old midfielder has done quite well for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, and he has 12 goal contributions in all competitions.
The midfielder is regarded as a “special” talent, and he has “captivated” rival managers like Unai Emery. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat Aston Villa to his signature. They are likely to be a more attractive destination compared to the West Midlands club. However, Aston Villa are pushing for Champions League qualification, and a top-four finish could make them an attractive destination.
Uzun could develop into a star
Even though the asking price is quite steep, the player has the potential to develop into a future star with the right guidance. He has the technical attributes to thrive at the highest level, and he could be a player for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done. He might be able to justify the investment in future.
Aston Villa and Newcastle need more creativity in the final third as well. The 20-year-old has the quality to improve all three teams. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He could look to join a club where he can regularly fight for trophies.
