The player is at the peak of his career, and he has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League. He is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He could be the ideal replacement for the injured James Maddison.

Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done. While the €60 million asking price might seem expensive, the player has the quality to thrive in the Premier League and he could justify the investment in future.
