Tottenham Hotspur are tracking Norwich City ace Jacob Murphy.
Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer record has been far from perfect in recent years, but the successes seen them strike some of the best deals in the Premier League.
These include bargain midfielder Dele Alli and Eric Dier, both signed for combined fees of less than £10 million.
This past summer they got away from that, with of their four additions, only Victor Wanyama looking like value for money.

Now they have reportedly identified a player who could follow the Alli and Dier route to being bargain successes, Norwich City winger Jacob Murphy.
Murphy is one of two twin brothers excelling at the Canaries, and ESPN report Tottenham are among the teams tracking him despite the fact he recently signed a new deal.
Already this season Murphy has scored seven goals in 19 games and provided four assists, and is relishing the chance to play regular football.

Murphy can play on either wing, playing mostly on the right this season, and provides the width that at times Tottenham have lacked in the absence of Erik Lamela.
At just 18-years-old, Murphy has already made an impact on the international scene in his age group, previously netting six goals for England’s under-17 side.
Moving for Jacob Murphy would show Tottenham are returning to the transfer policy which saw them unearth Dele Alli, one of the key members of their first team.
A loan back to Norwich may even allow them to close the deal as they did with Alli, giving Murphy key time to continue his development while gaining his signature.
