London giants Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their move for Rico Browne, registering their interest in the Birmingham City FC defensive sensation.
According to a report by Football Insider, Rico Browne is the subject of a potential move from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. The North London giants hold a long-standing interest in the 20-year-old Birmingham City FC wonderkid and have revived their charge for the Manchester-born defensive sensation.
Who is Rico Browne?
Rico Browne is one of the brightest young defensive prospects in the country. A native of Manchester, the Englishman spent a few years outside the country by passing through the academy at Elche CF. He joined Birmingham City FC in 2016 and has come leaps and bounds in the last few years.
The 20-year-old has progressed through the ranks at Birmingham City FC but has not made his first-team bow for the Blues yet. Meanwhile, Rico Browne’s long-term future at the Midlands club has been uncertain heading into the summer transfer window as his contract has expired.
The Blues have offered the Manchester-born defender, who has chosen St. Kitts and Nevis as his national side, a new contract. However, Browne has turned it down and will likely leave the West Midlands outfit as a free agent. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of Tottenham Hotspur.
London calling?
The North London giants hold a long-standing interest in Rico Browne. Tottenham mulled over signing the 20-year-old English defender last summer before a move failed to see the light of day. However, they have continued to monitor the youngster’s progress closely at Birmingham City FC.
Tottenham recently signed Ashley Phillips last summer as a long-term solution at the heart of the defence. While Browne might have a bright future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he will likely begin his spell with the North London club by turning out for the reserve team.
The North London giants have already registered their interest in Browne, Brighton & Hove Albion also keen on signing him in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see where the 20-year-old plies his trade in the 2024/25 season.
