£52million Bundesliga star considering summer switch to Tottenham Hotspur

It did not look like the ‘same old Tottenham’ that rose to the occasion at Waldstadion. The tactics from Ange Postecoglou were spot on and the team looked as one as they went on to stop Eintracht Frankfurt from scoring at home. It is only fair to say that Ange Postecoglou learnt from his mistakes and made sure to set his team up according to the requirements of the game.

Hugo Larsson keen to jump ship to Tottenham

The Europa League quarter-finals was the perfect occasion for Tottenham to keep tabs on their summer target Hugo Larsson. The Lilywhites faced Eintracht Frankfurt and it gave the club a chance to check out how the talented midfielder fared against them. This also gave Larsson a chance to see how Spurs operated under Ange Postecoglou.

Now, Hugo Larsson is said to be willing to make the switch to N17 if Tottenham make a bid to sign him. It is also important to note that the Lilywhites are increasingly confident that they will be able to sign the Sweden international in the summer. However, the talented midfielder still has four years remaining in his contract and Spurs will find have to splash some cash if they want to sign Larsson.

Frankfurt are willing to part ways with the 20-year-old for offers worth around £52 million. Hugo Larsson is also willing to see how far Tottenham go in this season’s Europa League after Ange’s men knocked out the midfielder’s club. Ange Postecoglou is a long-time admirer of the player, so it will not be a surprise if the Frankfurt No.16 ends up at N17 if Big Ange is still at the helm in the summer.

Should Tottenham go for the move?

Hugo Larsson played in both legs of the Europa League quarter-finals against Tottenham. The 20-year-old was impressive in both games and almost helped his team in staging a comeback against Ange Postecoglou’s side. But Frankfurt just fell short and were eventually knocked out of the competition. However, the 20-year-old can take solace from the fact that he passed the Spurs audition.

As per Sofascore, Larsson completed 41 of his 46 passes against Ange’s men on Thursday. The midfielder also completed five long balls and made two interceptions in the midfield. The Swedish international also had 54 touches of the ball in the 76 minutes that he played. It was a successful outing for the ex-Malmö player.

Should Tottenham make the move for Hugo Larsson? Yes, they should. The 20-year-old will fit in perfectly into Ange’s system. The talented midfielder likes to control the tempo of the game and prefers linking up with fellow midfielders to create space for others. His ability to carry the ball up the pitch and intercept plays is a crucial part of his game. Tottenham are crying out loud for a midfielder with these traits to play at N17.
