Club Brugge beat Austrian Bundesliga champions Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday, but who were Tottenham Hotspur watching?
Tottenham Hotspur were among a number of clubs who sent scouts to watch the Europa League clash between Club Brugge and Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday night, according to Walfoot.
The January transfer window might have slammed shut just two weeks ago but it seems that clubs across the continent are already drawing up plans behind the scenes to add to their squads in the summer and Spurs, who haven’t signed a single player in the last 12 months, are no different.
Walfoot reports that they sent representatives to Belgium this week to run the rule over a number of players as Brugge played host to the 2018 Europa League semi-finalists Salzburg.
The report does not explain who Tottenham were watching as the hosts prevailed 2-1 over the Austrian champions but there were a number of highly-rated talents in action who have been linked with a move to the Premier League over the last year or so.
Brugge’s Brazilian striker Wesley Moraes (above) is a man in demand and he scored the winner against Salzburg, his 13th in all competitions this season.
Salzburg can call on a clinical goalscorer themselves in Israel international Munas Dabbur (below), who has 20 in 31 games in 2018/19.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Tottenham have scouted Salzburg with Estadio Deportivo claiming that they were present in the shock victory against Borussia Dortmund this time last year.
