Premier League heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly expressed their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Hugo Larsson is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The North London giants are in the market for a midfielder heading into the summer transfer window. And they have registered their interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder, a target for Arsenal and Liverpool.
Who is Hugo Larsson?
Hugo Larsson has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in the Bundesliga since joining Eintracht Frankfurt. The Swede spent his formative years in his homeland, graduating from the Malmo FF youth division. However, he has come leaps and bounds since arriving in Germany last summer, signing a £12,000-a-week contract.
The 19-year-old has been a regular for Eintracht Frankfurt thus far this season, turning out 33 times while chipping in with two goals and two assists. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham.
A Man in Demand
Arsenal and Liverpool joined the race to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder over two months ago. Arsenal’s interest in the young midfielder is understandable, considering Thomas Partey, Jorginho, and Mohamed Elneny face an uncertain future at the Emirates. Partey and Elneny, in particular, will likely depart from the North London club in the summer transfer window.
As for Liverpool, the Reds bolstered their midfield unit with nearly half a dozen signings in the summer transfer window. However, they remain in the market for a midfielder due to the uncertainties surrounding the future of Thiago Alcantara, who will likely leave as a free agent.
However, Tottenham might have made the first move to sign Hugo Larsson after expressing interest in him. Tottenham’s eagerness to secure Larsson’s services is understandable, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg likely to leave the North London club in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Larsson’s £12,000-a-week wages will not faze Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham. So, a move to the Premier League might be on the cards this summer, only a year after the 19-year-old arrived in Germany.
