Francis Onyeka has impressed with Bochum

He has managed to score 8 goals from the midfield, and his performances have attracted the attention of Premier League clubs. Tottenham scouts are keeping close tabs on the player and are impressed with his displays, per SportsBoom.

The midfielder will cost around €35 million in the summer, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham is willing to come forward with an official offer to sign him. They need more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and Onyeka could be a superb long-term acquisition for them.

Apart from his ball control, vision, and technical ability, his pace in the middle of the park would add a new dimension to the Tottenham team. The midfielder has recorded a top speed of 33 km/h in the 2.Bundesliga this season. His base could prove to be very useful during transitional play.

Onyeka could fancy a move

The opportunity to move to England will be exciting for the player as well. It would be an exciting step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level.

Regular football in the Premier League could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential. Tottenham could be an attractive destination for the player, especially if they secure Premier League safety. They are currently fighting for survival in the top flight.

They have the resources to afford the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition for his signature.
