Tottenham Hotspur should seriously consider a move for the CSKA Moscow ace.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of work to do this summer, if he is to build a squad of players who are capable of making the jump up to the next level.
One particular area where the Argentine will want to strengthen is his central midfield department, with Mousa Dembele set to turn 31 in July, and Harry Winks experiencing problems with persistent injuries.
With this in mind, Poch should consider a move for CSKA Moscow ace Aleksandr Golovin, who is reportedly wanted by Newcastle United, according to the player’s agent.
The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young prospects in the game, and he has enjoyed a wonderful campaign with CSKA this season, chalking up seven goals and six assists in 42 appearances in all competitions thus far.
Golovin is an orthodox central midfielder by trade, but he is equally as effective when deployed higher up the pitch in the number 10 position.
The Russia international is an extremely talented technician, and his wonderful vision, combined with his quality when in possession would surely help Spurs improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.
According to Golovin’s agent, the 21-year-old will be available for around €20 million (£17.5 million) this summer, and in today’s day and age, that would surely represent fantastic value for Tottenham.
Spurs are not a club who spend haphazardly, so when an opportunity to sign someone of the Russian’s ilk for such a reasonable price presents itself, the north Londoners quite simply must act on it.
