Nuno’s Tottenham Hotspur and Bruno Lage’s Wolverhampton Wanderers will have to pay at least £40 million for Noni Madueke, according to The Mirror.
What’s the story?
The Mirror have reported that Tottenham, Wolves and Leicester City all are interested in signing Madueke from PSV in the summer transfer window.
Spurs, Wolves and Leicester all have made contact with PSV over signing the youngster this summer.
Seven other clubs have also made contact with the Dutch outfit.
PSV are willing to sell the 19-year-old attacking midfielder, but they want at least £40 million and told the interested clubs so.
Highly rated
Madueke is actually a former Tottenham youth player.
The 19-year-old left Spurs for PSV in 2018 and is now part of the first team.
The youngster has done well in the Netherlands and is rated very highly at PSV.
Former PSV star Gerald Vanenburg has actually compared Madueke to Paris Saint-Germain and France international forward Kylian Mbappe.
The Mirror quotes Vanenburg as saying: “I love watching him. He is physically strong, he can score goals, he can cross the ball brilliantly and he terrorizes every defence.
“He can become a top class player in Europe. The best one to compare him with is Kylian Mbappe. He has the same drive, pace and scoring ability. All the big clubs love players like that.”
The England Under-21 international has scored two goals in two Eredivisie appearances this season already.
The youngster scored seven goals and gave four assists in seven league starts last season.
There is no doubt that Madueke is hugely talented, but he is only 19 and still raw, and it is unlikely that Spurs or Wolves will pay £40 million for him this summer.
