Bowen has been reportedly scouted by Spurs’ talent spotters this month.
Tottenham Hotspur reportedly scouted Hull City winger Jarrod Bowen earlier this month, when the youngster scored a brace against QPR – and he would be a much better signing than Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.
Hull Daily Mail claim Bowen, 21, was watched by Spurs’ talent spotters on December 1 as he scored two goals against QPR. This season, he has netted six goals and created three more in 21 league appearances.
Boasting plenty of speed, trickery and an unwavering eye for goal, Bowen is said to be available for a bargain fee of just £10million ahead of the January transfer window. It remains to be seen if Hull can keep him.
Spurs have been targeting a number of Championship players ahead of January if reports are to be believed, with Bowen the latest to be linked to Mauricio Pochettino’s side. Villa’s Jack Grealish is another.
Spurs almost bought Grealish in the summer, with Villa wanting £30million for his services – though Spurs only managed to offer £25million. Now, the north Londoners could buy a better alternative for a much smaller price.
Indeed, Bowen has scored three times as many goals as Grealish has this season – with the latter only managing two strikes this term. Grealish is also two years Bowen’s senior.
At £10million, Bowen is a bargain. But he becomes an even better option when it is considered that he would cost a third of Grealish’s asking price.
Spurs have to land Bowen in the summer and forget about luring Grealish to the Champions League side.
