Report: Spurs are one of four PL sides looking at French talent as ‘bidding war’ begins
Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a new winger this summer, and one young talent they’re targeting is attracting attention from a whole host of big clubs across Europe.
Spurs have a strong desire for Doue
According to the latest from HITC, the bidding war for Desire Doue has begun, and Tottenham will have to fight off competition from big rivals at home and abroad if they are to sign the young Frenchman this summer.
The report claims Doue’s future will be decided in the “coming weeks,” and names Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle as his suitors in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have already made their first offer for the 19-year-old, which has been rejected, and PSG are also thought to be in the hunt.
Bayern made the “first move” for Doue, but their offer of £29m fell short of Rennes’ valuation, which is closer to £42m “in the current market.”
It is believed PSG are “pushing hard” to sign the winger and are ready to “rival” the German giants.
Rennes are also thought to be “in talks with a number of Premier League sides,” with Spurs among the group of teams hoping to “join the bidding” for Doue.
Doue himself is expected to be open to a move to the Premier League if a “suitable enough offer” comes in this summer.
Spurs sparked into action over Desire Doue
Earlier this week it was claimed that Spurs would be pushing ahead with a move for Doue after seeing Bayern Munich’s failed attempt to sign the Rennes star (L’Equipe).
According to a report from The Sun, Spurs will also have to beat Chelsea and Manchester United to the signing of Doue, as the teenage star becomes one of the most coveted players in Europe.
Spurs Web Opinion
If all these clubs are genuinely interested in Doue, there’s no way we’re getting him. Not because we can’t compete in terms of the project we can offer him, but because Rennes will no doubt ramp up the price tag on the player and we will very likely back out and look for cheaper options.
