Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to sign Dylan Thompson from Norwich.
A report from the Sun claims that the talented young goalkeeper is currently training with the Premier League club and Tottenham are expected to agree on a deal with Norwich soon.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper has reportedly rejected the opportunity to sign a new contract with Norwich City and he wants to leave the club permanently. It seems that the Championship outfit will demand compensation for the teenager and Tottenham are prepared to pay up.
He is expected to join up with the Tottenham academy and he will look to force his way into the first-team plans in the coming years. Thompson is highly rated in England and he has a big future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality long-term prospect for the north London outfit.
Tottenham have a talented squad at their disposal and they will look to put together a formidable unit for the future. The North London outfit are expected to partway with Hugo Lloris in the coming months and they will need to bring in a quality backup option to Guglielmo Vicario. The talented young Norwich goalkeeper could be the ideal understudy for the Italian.
Thompson is certainly a talented goalkeeper and the opportunity to join a top-six club in the Premier League will be hard to turn down. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to test himself at a high level.
If Tottenham can provide him with a clear pathway to the first team, the transfer could be an exciting option for him. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done during the January transfer window.
They have started the current season in fine form and they will be looking to return to the Champions League at the end of the season. They could certainly use quality reinforcements midway through the campaign and it remains to be seen whether they can improve their squad during the January window.
