Jarod Bowen’s fine Championship form at Hull City has reportedly caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur.
It is almost four years since Tottenham Hotspur plucked an 18-year-old Dele Alli from League One MK Dons.
But, with the January transfer window just around the corner, it seems Spurs have focused their sights on another exciting lower league talent who could follow in Alli’s footsteps in North London.
The Hull Daily Mail has reported that Tottenham sent scouts to watch Jarrod Bowen in action earlier this month and they will surely have been impressed. The 21-year-old produced his performance of the season in front of Spurs’ representatives after all, scoring twice and setting up the other to inspire a 3-2 away win at Queens Park Rangers.
While Bowen has a long way to go before he can match the standards set by Alli – an established England international, a World Cup semi-finalist and PFA Young Player of the Year – the skilful wide man shares a few similarities in terms of his rapid rise in the lower divisions.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has launched the careers of numerous homegrown talents, from Luke Shaw to Eric Dier, Kyle Walker to Harry Kane…and Alli himself, of course.
And the Argentine coach will be salivating at the prospect of working with another raw talent like Bowen.
