Tottenham, currently sitting 8th in the Premier League, have just achieved a significant victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, showcasing Ange Postecoglou’s ability to outsmart Pep Guardiola’s tactics. With this win, Spurs remain vigilant in their pursuit of fresh talent to strengthen their squad.
Among the players attracting attention is Hammarby winger Bazoumana Touré, who at just 18 years old has already made a name for himself in Sweden’s top tier, drawing interest from clubs like Leeds United and Sheffield United.
In the 2024 season, Bazoumana Touré has made a notable impact, registering nine goals and four assists in 21 appearances. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, as reports from TBR indicate that both Leeds United and Sheffield United had scouts watching him over the weekend, highlighting his growing reputation in the footballing world.
The Ivorian is making a name for himself
A wide range of clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Celtic, are believed to have sent representatives to observe Bazoumana Touré. The 18-year-old winger is also making strides at the international level, having played for Ivory Coast’s under-20 team.
While gems can often be discovered outside Europe’s traditional ‘big four’ leagues, Leeds United’s successful acquisition of Wilfried Gnonto serves as a prime example. They signed him from FC Zurich for a modest fee in 2022, and he would likely command a significant profit if sold in January. However, Sheffield United’s experience with Benie Traore, who they recruited from Hacken last year, serves as a cautionary tale about the risks involved in scouting talent from lesser-known leagues.
