Tottenham Hotspur have joined Real Madrid and Manchester City in the battle for Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Oscar Gloukh.
According to a report from the Portuguese publication Record, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur will face competition from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City for Oscar Gloukh. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is highly rated around Europe and has a big future ahead of him.
Gloukh has already established himself as a key player for Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. And he has six goals and six assists to his name across all competitions. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal for the 18-year-old playmaker in the coming months.
The Londoners could certainly use more creativity in their midfield, and the 18-year-old would add a new dimension to Antonio Conte’s side. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have shown a willingness to sign talented young players from around the world and it would not be surprising if they decided to make a move for the 18-year-old.
The Israeli wonderkid has the potential to play for an elite club in the future, and he could prove to be a superb long-term investment for Los Blancos. Similarly, Manchester City will look to add to the pool of young talent at the club, and Pep Guardiola might look at the 18-year-old as a quality long-term prospect.
Tottenham, Manchester City, and Real Madrid could all prove to be superb destinations for the youngster, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The Israeli outfit will look to recoup as much as they can for their prized young prospect if his suitors decide to come calling at the end of the season
The 18-year-old has a contract with Tel Aviv until the summer of 2025. And it remains to be seen whether the likes of Tottenham, Manchester City and Real Madrid can agree on a reasonable price for him. But Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also scouting Gloukh. In addition, Barcelona have shown interest in the teenage wonderkid.
The 18-year-old needs to join a club where he will get the opportunity to play first-team football. Sitting on the bench at a top club could affect his development adversely, and Gloukh will have to decide on his future very carefully.
