Tottenham enter Kevin Zenon chase

Tottenham are all set to battle it out with rivals Newcastle United for the services of Boca Juniors sensation Kevin Zenon.

According to a report from Boca Noticias, Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race for the services of Kevin Zenon. The Argentine midfielder has made quite a name for himself with his consistent performances and huge potential. He is already on the wishlist of Newcastle United, and Spurs are now all set to rival the Tyneside club.

Zenon was a part of the Unión Santa Fe youth setup. He came up the ranks at some pace and got promoted to their first team towards the start of 2021. After a few impressive seasons with the first team of his childhood club, he made the move to Boca Juniors at the start of the year.

He had already made a name for himself with his performances for Union and seems to have taken his game to another level since moving to Boca. The 23-year-old left-sided midfielder has featured in 33 matches for the Argentine giants and has contributed towards 11 goals (4 goals, 7 assists).

Tottenham to rival Newcastle United for Zenon

While he prefers playing out wide on the left, Zenon is capable enough to feature in the centre of the park as well as on the right flank. His performances have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs, and Newcastle United have been linked with him for some time.

The Magpies were interested in his services during the summer. While they could not strike a deal during the recently concluded window, Eddie Howe’s team remain keen on the services of the Argentine youth international, but they now have a competitor in Tottenham.

The North London club have entered the race for the services of the versatile midfielder. Their new project under Ange Postecoglou has focused on signing young players who can help them in the long run, and the 23-year-old seems to be a great fit for them.

Tottenham are closely monitoring him ahead of a potential move. With his contract at the Argentine club running until 2028, Boca have made it clear that they will only let him leave if his release clause is paid in full. The fact that he only has a $15 million clause in his contract suggests Tottenham won’t find it difficult to sign him.
