Tottenham Hotspur are known for keeping an eye on young prospects across Europe, and now they are keeping tabs on one emerging star who could be available for under £50 million.
Tottenham Hotspur are no strangers to signing youngsters, as seen in recent windows when the club made a conscious effort to build for the future.
Last summer, however, did show a slight shift in strategy, with the club prioritising more experienced players to bring greater balance to the squad.
With Fabio Paratici back and set to focus on first-team matters, Johan Lange has taken charge of youth recruitment and scouting, and it appears Tottenham could once again be turning towards youth as part of their long-term project.
Tottenham scouts watch Can Uzun during Liverpool vs Eintracht Frankfurt
TBR Football are now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to watch a highly-rated Bundesliga youngster, Turkish midfielder Can Uzun of Eintracht Frankfurt.
It is understood that Spurs officials were in attendance during Frankfurt’s clash with Liverpool, although Uzun did not feature in the match.
The 19-year-old is one of the leading names in a promising new generation of Turkish talents that includes Arda Guler, who Tottenham have also been linked with, and Kenan Yildiz of Juventus.
His name has been on the radar of several major European sides following a breakout campaign that has seen him become one of Frankfurt’s standout performers.
Uzun has already notched five goals and three assists this season, marking what has been an impressive period of adaptation since his move to Germany in 2024.
Brighton, BlueCo and City Group also tracking Uzun
With Guler expected to command a significant fee, Uzun could very much be available for £50 million, but Tottenham are not the only English club monitoring the Turkish midfielder.
Brighton & Hove Albion, BlueCo, and the City Group are all showing concrete interest in Uzun’s development this season.
Speaking to TBR Football, Graeme Bailey shared what he had learned from a Premier League scout who has followed Uzun closely.
Bailey revealed: “This boy is ‘special’ was the comment I received from a scout attached to one of the Premier League’s top clubs.”
He went on to add: “Uzun might be considered under the radar to some but he is a huge talent. He has become one of the most talked about players in the Bundesliga and he really is a huge talent. There is not a major club who does not have him on their radar.”
