Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on the Como midfielder Nico Paz.
The 20-year-old has done quite well since his move to the Italian club and he has six goals and five assists to his name this season. His performances have attracted the attention of the Tottenham scouts, and they are impressed with his displays.
According to TBR Football, they could look to make a move for the playmaker in the near future and clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea have been monitoring his situation as well. The former Real Madrid Academy graduate is reportedly keen on a return to his boyhood club, but he might not get ample opportunities at the Spanish club.
Real Madrid are well stocked in the attacking midfield department, and it will be interesting to see where Paz ends up.
Tottenham could certainly use more quality and depth in the final third. The technically gifted midfielder will help create goalscoring opportunities for them and open up defences with his passing, vision, and creativity.
Nico Paz is highly-rated by Lionel Messi
The 20-year-old has already made his international debut with Argentina, and Lionel Messi has heaped praise on the player. The Argentine superstar believes that Paz is a player with a lot of quality and he understands the game perfectly.
Messi said (h/t GOAL): “He has a lot of quality and I hope he continues to grow. He has a great head, he understands the game perfectly and I hope he continues like this. He played, he enjoyed it and I think he’ll feel comfortable in this team because he likes having the ball.”
The words of praise from Messi will certainly excite the Tottenham fans and it remains to be seen whether the North London outfit decide to make a move for Paz at the end of the season.
Although Tottenham have James Maddison operating in a similar role, the England International can be quite inconsistent and competition for places will help them improve as a team. They have been linked with similar players like Eberechi Eze as well.
