Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in Bundesliga midfielder Florian Wirtz.
The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for Bayer Leverkusen and is now considered “one of the great sensations” of European football.
A report from Mundo Deportivo claims he is valued at between 80 million euros and 100 million euros.
Tottenham are not the only club chasing him and they will face competition from London rivals Arsenal and Spanish giants Barcelona.
However, the offered price may be too high for the Spanish team.
Barcelona are going through financial difficulties and they might not be able to pay €80-100 million for the German midfielder.
Wirtz has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen until the summer of 2027 and he is unlikely to be available for cheap.
The 20-year-old can operate as the central attacking midfielder as well as a winger.
He could develop into one of the best playmakers around Europe and Spurs could certainly use someone like him.
The Bundesliga midfielder has contributed to five goals and nine assists across all competitions this season and he has the attributes to develop into a world-class player with the right coaching and guidance.
A move to the Premier League could accelerate his development and Ange Postecoglou could help him realize his huge potential.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are willing to pay a premium for him in the coming months.
They must also find a way to secure Champions League football if they want to attract elite talent like him.
