Tottenham to compete with three other PL clubs for 19-year-old playmaker

By Saikat -

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the move for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz.

The 19-year-old has been quite impressive for the German club this season and he has two goals and six assists in just 13 appearances across all competitions for them.

The highly-rated attacking midfielder can operate as a winger as well and his versatility will be a major bonus for Tottenham if they manage to secure his services.

A report from 90 Min claims that Tottenham are not the only Premier League club looking to sign the German midfielder and they will face competition from Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United as well. German clubs Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are thought to be in the running to sign the player as well.

The 19-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he has the potential to develop into a top-class playmaker in the coming seasons. Tottenham could certainly use someone like him on their side.

The Londoners must look to bring in someone who will add creativity and goals from the central areas and Spurs were linked with players like Nicolo Zaniolo and Christian Eriksen at the start of the season.

The arrival of Wirtz will help create more opportunities for players like Harry Kane next season. The 29-year-old England international has had to drop deep and create opportunities for himself the season and he could certainly use more support from his teammates.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can agree on a fee with the German club for Wirtz in the coming months. They must look to finish in the Champions League positions in order to fend off competition from their Premier League rivals.
