Report: Highly-rated young forward linked with Spurs set for Stoke exit

Rumoured Tottenham Hotspur target Mohamed Sankoh is expected to leave Stoke City this summer.

The Stoke Sentinel claim that the Championship side have offered the 16-year-old a new long-term contract which has not been signed by the Dutchman.

Manager Michael O’Neill is also said to have spoken to the young forward about his future.

The striker has been in impressive form for the Potters academy having netted 11 goals in 12 appearances prior to the season being brought to an abrupt end due to the coronavirus pandemic.

His performances are said to have attracted attention from across Europe with the likes of Celtic, Everton, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona and Spurs all holding an interest in the player who joined Stoke as a 15-year-old from Sparta Rotterdam in 2018.

Sankoh is out of contract this summer with the Potters entitled to compensation due to the fact that he is under the age of 24.
