Yann Karamoh has been linked to Tottenham in recent days.
Mauricio Pochettino’s comments on Alvaro Morata highlight the trouble Tottenham Hotspur face in the transfer market this summer.
With a team of established starters, Tottenham boss Pochettino told The Telegraph that Morata was put off joining the club as he feared playing second fiddle to Harry Kane.
One intriguing name who has been linked with Spurs in recent days is emerging striker Yann Karamoh.
The Sun report Tottenham are in a three-way battle with Inter Milan and Arsenal to sign the teenager, who currently plays for French side Caen.
Karamoh, 19, was born in Ivory Coast but is a France youth international.
He has played for Les Bleus at every level up to and including under-21, where he plays alongside Celtic forward Moussa Dembele.
Karamoh was used mainly as a substitute by Caen last season, scoring five goals.
Tottenham clearly have trouble signing top forwards due to Harry Kane’s presence, along with Dutch international Vincent Janssen.
If they are going to add a third then it needs to be an ‘up and coming’ striker like Karamoh, who can be bought cheaply with little expectation.
Being used as a substitute would not be an adjustment for him. The change would simply be stepping up a level.
Having missed out on Dembele to Celtic, Tottenham would do well to acquire his signature and hopes he blossoms into a star.
