Spurs may battle two PL rivals to sign Serbian wonderkid
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a player who is considered the best young talent in Serbian football but they are not the only club who have made advances.
Spurs eyeing move for teenage attacker
Tottenham have secured some of the best young players in world football over the last 18 months and it looks like they are now plotting a move for another highly-rated youngster.
According to TBR Football, the Lilywhites are now eying a move for Red Star Belgrade starlet Andrija Maksimovic, who has been extremely impressive since breaking into the club’s starting eleven.
The 17-year-old has already been capped twice by the Serbian national team and it seems like a bidding war might soon ensue for the youngster.
Tottenham could face plenty of competition
TBR Football say that not only Spurs, but also Newcastle United and Chelsea have taken a ‘keen interest’ in Maksimovic, who is considered by many to be one of the top young prospects in world football.
Apart from those three sides, a host of other Premier League clubs have also allegedly checked in on the attacking midfielder, while Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Marseille, and Juventus are also keeping tabs on him.
The publication adds that even if any of these clubs were to strike a deal for the Red Star Belgrade youngster, he would not be able to leave Serbia until next summer when he turns 18.
Andrija Maksimovic’s playing style
Maskmivoic is a number ten by trade but he can operate deeper as an eight or even on the right flank.
In a scouting article, Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig likened him to Colombia icon James Rodriguez for his creative ability and his natural talent to find space between the lines.
He described the silky left-footer as someone who is ‘extremely elegant’ on the ball and possesses ‘a truly futsal-esque technique’ and a ‘very high football IQ’
