Doue has made a significant impact in Ligue 1, earning recognition as one of the most promising talents in Europe.
Known for his versatility, the youngster primarily plays as an attacking midfielder but can also operate on either wing or as a forward. His acceleration, pace, and excellent dribbling make him an offensive force to be reckoned with.
In March this year, Doue made his debut for the France Olympic football team, scoring two goals in a friendly against Cote d’Ivoire, further highlighting his potential.
Tottenham are determined to secure Doue’s services, viewing him as a crucial addition to their squad. The teenager has progressed remarkably within Rennes’ youth academy, joining at the age of five and now standing out in the senior team.
Last season, he made 31 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring four goals and providing five assists in 17 starts.
With two years remaining on his contract, which he extended last August, Doue’s current market value stands at €30 million.
Tottenham are prepared to invest a similar amount to bring this young talent to North London, enhancing their attacking options.
