Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has identified a player who can become the next Rodrigo Bentancur.
Spurs are still fighting to finish in the top four of the Premier League, but the planning for the summer transfer window is already underway behind the scenes.
Tottenham are expected to be very active in the upcoming window, and Postecoglou has a few targets in mind.
One player in particular has reportedly impressed the Spurs boss, so much so that he wants to bring him to the club this summer.
Ange Postecoglou has a special plan for Hugo Larsson at Tottenham
Tottenham need strengthening in multiple areas of the pitch this summer.
Spurs have a decent squad, but it is looking like they will be in the Champions League next season. The current depth they have will simply not be enough.
As a result, everyone is expecting Tottenham to bring in multiple players this summer, and a new central midfielder is said to be on the agenda.
Tottenham already have Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp in the middle of the park, but at least one of these players is expected to leave.
That opens the door for a new midfielder to come in, and Football Transfers have revealed that Tottenham are leading the race to sign Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.
The report claims that Postecoglou is looking for a player similar to Bentancur, and 19-year-old Larsson has caught his eye.
The Spurs boss wants to sign the teenager this summer and plans to make him challenge Bentancur and potentially even take his place in the side in the coming years.
Larsson only joined Eintracht Frankfurt last year, and he has been tied down to a contract until the summer of 2028.
Who is Hugo Larsson and why Tottenham fans should be excited about him?
Hugo Larsson is a 19-year-old Sweden international who has been at Eintracht Frankfurt since July last year.
The teenager is naturally a central midfielder and he has shown real promise in the middle of the park. Bundesliga’s official website describes him as an ‘expert breaker-up-of-play’ who also ‘has the technical ability to break lines and thread killer through balls’.
What makes Larsson a more exciting player is his ‘rapid turn of pace – a unique trait for a player often seen shielding those further back’.
The website then compares Larsson to two Manchester City superstars – Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri. If he can even be half as good as those two, he’ll have a fine career.
Tottenham are right to target Larsson, and Spurs fans should be really excited by these links.
