Victor Froholdt urged to ‘aim higher’ than Tottenham Hotspur this summer
Denmark great Thomas Gravesen has told exciting young midfielder, Victor Froholdt, who is on Tottenham’s radar, to reject the advances of the Premier League side this summer.
The midfield department is one that Tottenham may look to reinforce this summer, particularly with reports indicating that Spurs may listen to offers for Yves Bissouma.
It has emerged over recent weeks that the Lilywhites could turn their attention to a young Copenhagen starlet to address their issues in the middle of the park.
According to reports, Tottenham are long-time admirers of 19-year-old Victor Froholdt, who is making waves in the Danish top-flight and is thought to be valued at around £20m this summer.
Thomas Gravesen believes Spurs are good enough for Victor Froholdt
A few days ago, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg revealed that Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham are battling it out for Froholdt’s signature.
However, Gravesen believes that the teenager should aim higher than both those clubs and should look to join a team competing for the biggest trophies in the game.
When asked about the speculation linking the Denmark international with a move to the Bundesliga side and the Premier League club, the former Real Madrid man told Tipsbladet: “Aim higher. Frankfurt is a great club, and Tottenham is a great club, but this guy needs to aim a little higher. Go for the gold.
“Have ice in your stomach and play a season in the Champions League where you show how good you are as a footballer so you can hit the top shelf. Frankfurt is okay and a very good club. Rasmus Kristensen is showing the way down there.
“Tottenham Hotspur are in a difficult place at the moment, even though they’ve won a trophy in Europe, but come on Victor Froholdt. Show us on the Danish national team and in the Champions League for FC Copenhagen that you belong on a shelf that’s somewhat higher than the two clubs mentioned.”
Tottenham fans are not encouraged by Froholdt transfer rumours
While the Copenhagen youngster is very highly rated in his home country, the reports of the Lilywhites’ interest in him have not generated much enthusiasm among the Tottenham faithful.
Spurs fans want to see the club sign proven performers at the highest level rather than continuing with their policy of signing young, unproven gems like Froholdt.
However, Johan Lange and the Tottenham recruitment team will argue that the signings of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray now appear like masterstrokes, given how the trio have developed over the past 12 months.
