West Ham enter difficult race to sign highly rated 22yo Tottenham target

published :

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has emerged as a target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to sign highly rated English defender Archie Brown.

The North Londoners have enjoyed a splendid summer transfer window where Daniel Levy brought in some highly regarded young players through the doors at White Hart Lane, and the Spurs chairman has been looking to compound on their transfer policy of getting in highly acclaimed young players through the doors who can reciprocate their potential among the training pitches at Hotspur Way.

Spurs are said to have laid out the road map of giving young players an opportunity with the likes of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, and Wilson Odobert, which may help them in their further pursuits of highly acclaimed talent like Brown.

Premier League side Wolves have been vying for a move for the KAA Gent left-back; however, according to a latest by Football Insider, Spurs’ city neighbours West Ham United have been looking to sign the 22-year-old Englishman in the upcoming winter transfer window.

The Lilywhites will now face sturdy competition to sign the highly rated left-back, with Wolves and West Ham United also said to be interested in signing the defender. The Hammers, in particular, will be keen on bolstering their defensive, with Lopetegui keen to add options to the duo of Emerson Palmieri and Aaron Cresswell in the defensive role on the left flank. 

Spurs and Levy have created a clear pathway for young players to progress within the first-team setup, and in order to bring Brown to N17, however, the chiefs at Hotspur Way will have to act quickly to fend off interest from Premier League rivals for his signatures.

If Tottenham are to bring Brown, it will further underline their commitment to building a squad for the future. That being said, for now, the race for the KAA Gent star looks set to intensify with the January transfer window around the corner.
