Tottenham find themselves in a difficult position following their recent defeat to Ipswich, sitting 10th in the league and missing six players – five due to injury and Bentancur serving a seven-game ban. With the team in need of reinforcements, Tottenham, along with Arsenal and Liverpool, are all reportedly wanting the signature of talented Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson, who has impressed in the Bundesliga this season, according to Christian Falk.
Tottenham have been monitoring Hugo Larsson since April, but now face strong competition for his signature. The 20-year-old is reportedly valued at around £70m, leaving it uncertain whether any of his potential suitors will be willing to meet that asking price mid-season. Liverpool, who were keen to strengthen their midfield with a deep-lying player during the summer, may emerge as the most serious contender for Larsson this winter.

Tottenham’s interest in Hugo Larsson was first revealed to GIVEMSPORT in April, but the midfielder’s recent impressive performances have led to increased competition for his signature. Given Larsson’s growing importance to the Frankfurt side while earning £31,257 per week, Spurs could be asked to pay a hefty £70 million for the 20-year-old, a fee that would make him their most expensive signing in history.
Larsson has featured in 16 matches across all competitions, contributing three goals and an assist. His standout displays have caught the attention of several top clubs. With his contract running until 2029, Frankfurt will be eager to fend off interest, but as the buzz surrounding the player intensifies, a move away from the Bundesliga club appears increasingly likely.
In the latest addition of Christian Falk’s Fact Files he revealed,
“Hugo Larsson is one of the most valuable players in the Frankfurt squad. Yes, there shall be interest from many Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. All of them are keeping an eye on the player. He’s a very humble guy and he doesn’t want to make all these quick steps, as he wants to make careful, considered decisions about his future.”

Hugo Larsson undeniably showcases exceptional talent, and as a versatile and well-rounded midfielder, he has earned the label of an “absolute unicorn” for his performances. If Tottenham can secure a deal for him at the right price, it would be a significant boost for Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Larsson would join promising young midfielders like Lucas Bergavall and Archie Gray, creating a formidable trio of youthful midfield prospects for the future of the north London club.
