Football Transfers have said that Tottenham Hotspur are now stepping up their efforts to sign Eintracht Frankfurt sensation Hugo Larsson, whom Ange Postecoglou is said to be an admirer of.
Larsson has had an impressive debut season in the Bundesliga since his switch from Malmo last summer and his displays at the Deutsche Bank Park have allegedly attracted attention from England.
The report says that Liverpool and Newcastle are among the clubs looking at the midfielder but it is Spurs who have ‘intensified their efforts’ to land the teenager.
Postecoglou is keen on Hugo Larsson
Football Transfers say that although Larsson’s representatives have spoken to a number of clubs across Europe, it is Tottenham who have now emerged as the frontrunners for his signature.
The report claims that Postecoglou is seeking a young box-to-box midfielder of a similar profile to Rodrigo Bentancur and has set his sights on the Frankfurt man.
It is alleged that the Australian believes that Larsson is capable of filling the role and challenging the Uruguayan for a place in the starting eleven.
The publication reveals that the Sweden international turned down the chance to move to Bournemouth in January but he is thought to be open to the idea of making a switch to the Premier League summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
Spurs have already signed Lucas Bergvall for the number eight role, which is why it might not make much sense for the Lilywhites to sign another youngster of a similar profile. Bergvall will likely serve as Bentancur’s understudy next season.
