Reo Griffiths has been in sensational form for Tottenham’s Under-18 side.
ESPN have claimed German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are keeping tabs on Tottenham Hotspur sensation Reo Griffiths after the teenager scored his 20th goal of the season.
Griffiths, 17, scored a sensational hat-trick for Spurs’ Under-18 side last time out in a 4-1 win over north London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League Cup, which sees Spurs progress to the final to face Chelsea.
Yet to turn professional, Griffiths has starred under the guidance of Spurs’ Under-18 manager Scott Parker and is widely regarded as one of the best at his level after appearing for England’s Under-17 side.
RB Leipzig have hired new head of recruitment Paul Mitchell, who worked with Tottenham beforehand and he is sure to have suggested Spurs’ highly-rated teenager to the Leipzig hierarchy.
Leipzig are known to have looked to these shores for talent, previously signing Oliver Burke from Nottingham Forest before selling him to West Bromwich Albion while Ademola Lookman is on loan from Everton.
Leipzig are not the only side looking to land English talent, with Borussia Dortmund snapping up Jadon Sancho from Manchester City, Reece Oxford is on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach and Kaylen Hinds joined Wolfsburg from Arsenal.
Spurs will be desperate to keep Griffiths on side but the young Englishman could be tempted to follow the aforementioned stars into German football, if Leipzig do indeed look to lure him to the Red Bull Arena.
