With the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal all reportedly interested, German wonderkid Jann-Fiete Arp should choose Premier League rivals Spurs.
After the Daily Mail reported Tottenham’s interest in German wonderkid Jann-Fiete Arp, HITC takes a look at why Spurs would be the better career move than Manchester City, who are also reportedly interested in snapping up the 17-year-old.
A product of the Hannover academy, Arp has been attracting attention from Europe’s elite after an incredible year that has seen him score twice in two Bundesliga appearances, as well as 15 goals in 17 games for the German under-17 side.
Manchester City and Spurs are both looking at the teenager, as are Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, with Italian giants Juventus also reportedly interested, according to SPORT BILD.
It’s safe to say Arp has the world at his feet, but the German should look past Manchester City’s incredible start to the season and pick Spurs as his future destination should he have the choice.
Whilst Harry Kane is integral to Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino has shown he isn’t afraid to hand opportunities to young players, as demonstrated by the roles played by Harry Winks, Ben Davies and Kyle Walker-Peters this term.
With summer signing Fernando Llorente still yet to open his Premier League account, Arp would have a good chance of nailing a spot down as second choice behind Kane, giving him valuable time off the bench from which he can develop and push on his Spurs career.
Move to Manchester City and the 17-year-old would find himself behind both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order, as well as facing competition from fellow teenager Phil Foden in the long run.
