Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the PSG youth midfielder Axel Tape at the end of the season.
The 17-year-old is highly rated in France, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. The player will be out of contract in June, and he has decided not to renew his contract with the French outfit.
Bayer Leverkusen are keen on securing his signature as well, and Tottenham are also pushing to get the deal done. Journalist Fabrice Hawkins has confirmed that the German club are well placed to secure his signature. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat them to his services.
Signing a player of potential on a free transfer would be a masterstroke. Meanwhile, Tottenham have been linked with another young midfielder in Andrey Santos.

The 17-year-old midfielder is versatile enough to operate in multiple roles and he could prove to be the ideal long-term acquisition for Tottenham. They need more quality and depth in the midfield, and the Frenchman could be a key player for them in future.
Tottenham have done well to bring talented young players in recent windows, and they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future. It is no surprise that they are keen on the 17-year-old. He has the attributes to develop into an important player for the North London club with the right guidance.
The opportunity to join a Premier league club will be quite exciting for the youngster as well, and it would be a major step up in his career. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
PSG are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have made it to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League this season. They are one of the favourites to win the competition. They will be disappointed to lose one of their brightest young prospects despite their recent success.
