Club director confirms Tottenham have been scouting his players recently

Cercle Brugge technical director Rembert Vromant has named Tottenham among a whole host of clubs that have been watching their players ahead of the summer transfer window.

While talking about how sought-after some of the Belgian club’s players are, Vromant named winger Alan Minda, centre-back Felipe Augusto and striker Kevin Denkey as three players who are on the radar of many top sides.

Interstingly, Tottenham have been linked with a move for Denkey, with Foot Mercato reporting at the start of March that the Lilywhites are keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old’s progress.

The centre-forward is now sitting top of the goal charts in Belgian this season, with 23 goals from 28 league appearances so far and it was alleged that Ange Postecoglou’s men could plot a summer move for the player.

Tottenham are scouting Cercle Brugge players

Vromant has now confirmed that Tottenham are one of a whole host of sides to send their representatives to the Jan Breydel Stadium over recent weeks.

The Cercle Brugge director told Het Laatste Nieuws (as relayed by Sport Witness): “Alan Minda and Felipe Augusto have a lot of potential. I think our central defenders should be valued more. We are taking Daland’s departure into account this summer. And then of course there is Kevin Denkey. From the calls I receive for him, I notice that he is very good at market.

“We are now in the phase where files from the head scout for all teams end up on the desk of the technical director. The decisions are made: who do we go for? Well, in England, Germany and France, teams want to go for Denkey.

“Listen, an average of sixteen scouts come to watch every home match. I have seen the level of those scouts rise this season. Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Lens, Lille, Salzburg, Leverkusen, Ajax, Aston Villa… They don’t come only for our opponent, believe me. We bring very interesting players. A young, athletic profile with a good mentality.”

Johan Lange’s and Fabio Paratici’s network of scouts will likely be running the rule over dozens of players across Europe. So just because Tottenham are following Denkey’s progress does not mean that a move is inevitable for the striker.
