Report: Spurs are one of several PL clubs eyeing Scandinavian midfielder

According to HITC, Tottenham Hotspur are among a host of Premier League clubs exploring a move for Norwegian midfield starlet Jens Hjerto-Dahl.

Tottenham are investing in youth

Spurs have added a number of talented young players to their squad this summer, with Archie Gray, Yang Min-hyuk and most recently, Wilson Odobert, arriving through the door.

In addition, Lucas Bergvall, who Tottenham completed a deal for back in January, has also linked up with Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

It now turns out that Spurs are eyeing yet another talented 18-year-old, with Hjerto-Dahl alleged to be on the Lilywhites’ radar.

HITC make it clear, however, that the Lilywhites are far from the only club interested in the Tromso star, who is also thought to be wanted by Liverpool, Aston Villa, Everton, and Fulham.

The report adds that several of these clubs have sent scouts to Norway over recent months to watch the 6ft 4 midfielder in action, with an exit drawing closer for the youngster.

The publication reveals that the interest in the teenager is now mounting, with Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Sevilla, Valencia and Monaco also checking in on the player.

With Tottenham having settled for a relatively cheap winger option in Wilson Odobert, one would expect the Lilywhites to be willing to shell out a decent amount on a Premier League-proven, top-class number eight, instead of signing another young prospect.

However, you never know, Tottenham may look to sign young and loan them back out for a season again.
