Tottenham have been linked to two wingers early this year.
Despite attempts in recent summers, Tottenham Hotspur are still looking to add a dynamic winger to their side who can take the team to the next level.
They appear to have already given up on Clinton N’Jie, sending him back to France on loan, and they are going to have to be very patient with Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
So it is little surprise they continue to be linked with new additions. In recent days Galatasaray winger Bruma and Norwich prospect Jacob Murphy have emerged as options.

Turkish newspaper Hurriyet report Tottenham are interested in making a £17 million move for Bruma, who is just 22-years-old and was once hailed as the ‘next Ronaldo’ in Portugal.
The talented prospect has been more Nani than Ronaldo, but has five goals in 16 games this season and five assists.
Jacob Murphy of Norwich is a player of a lower profile and just one year younger, but may fit the mould of what Spurs have found to be successful in recent years should they make a move.

The Mirror report Tottenham are battling Liverpool for the signature of Jacob Murphy, one of two talented twins at the Canaries.
Unlike Bruma, Murphy is adjusted to the style of play in English football already, and while this seems a simple and potentially closed minded way to look at it, the struggles of imports N’Jie and N’Koudou make bringing in another foreign winger a gamble.
Murphy is performing well at Championship level, with 10 goals in all competitions this season and three assists, and while fans could easily be sceptical about the standard of football he is playing in comparison to what Spurs require, the way Dele Alli has stepped up from League One offers a quick rebuttal.
