Former Leeds United prospect Lewis Cook is tentatively linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur could potentially take a look at former Leeds United product Lewis Cook in January.
The 21-year-old left Leeds to join Bournemouth back in 2016, and the young midfielder has impressed in the Premier League this season.
Joining a club like Tottenham would be a great look for the one-time England international, but it may leave a bitter taste with the Elland Road club.
Watching him excel in the Premier League would be bittersweet for the Whites.
On one hand, they wouldn’t begrudge one of their own, a Thorp Arch academy product, the best career possible, but on the other hand his value could skyrocket in the coming years – especially under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino.
Should that happen, it would undoubtedly make Leeds question the true value of the reported £6 million [The Daily Mail] that they received from the Cherries over two years ago.
That looked a modest fee at the time, given Cook’s potential, but if he were to join Spurs and dazzle over the course of two or three seasons then it’s entirely possible that he could be worth up to 10 times the amount that United got for him.
