Tottenham Hotspur have been left ‘hugely impressed’ by Strasbourg right-winger Dilane Bakwa after scouting the 22-year-old.
Tottenham Hotspur have continually been linked with right-sided wingers in recent months, and that comes as no surprise, given the lack of depth in that area of the pitch.
Right now, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert are some of the players who’ve featured in that role.
However, with the transfer window set to open soon, Spurs are ramping up their efforts to address the issue — and now, another name has entered the frame.
Tottenham eye Strasbourg winger Dilane Bakwa
According to TBR Football, Strasbourg winger Dilane Bakwa is now attracting strong interest from a number of Premier League clubs, with Spurs among them.
Bakwa has managed 11 goal contributions for Strasbourg in Ligue 1 this season, registering four goals and nine assists.
His form has earned him more minutes with the France Under-21 squad, and he made the most of his opportunity, delivering an assist in his second start for Les Bleuets.
Reports now indicate that Tottenham have sent scouts to watch Bakwa recently and were said to be particularly impressed.
The winger is currently valued at around £22.5m (€26m), and the Lilywhites are not the only club watching closely.
West Ham, Brentford and Chelsea also monitoring Bakwa
West Ham United, Brentford and Chelsea are among the other Premier League sides said to be keeping an eye on the 22-year-old.
Brentford are believed to see Bakwa as a potential long-term replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, with the Bees quietly tracking his progress this season.
Chelsea, who are affiliated with Strasbourg through their shared ownership, are also monitoring the winger closely — and according to TBR Football, the Blues’ club personnel have been left hugely impressed by what they’ve seen.
It’s worth noting that Bakwa’s performances haven’t gone unnoticed outside of England either. Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Marseille are also keeping tabs, meaning any summer move won’t be a straightforward one given the level of interest across Europe.
