Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want Legia Warsaw’s Michal Karbownik.
According to The Mirror (26/04, p68), Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Legia Warsaw defender Michal Karbownik this summer.
It’s claimed that Tottenham have been watching Karbownik for around a year now, and have been building up a strong relationship with Legia during that time in order to plot a move.
Dinamo Moscow, AC Milan and Real Betis are thought to be keen on Karbownik too, but Tottenham are considering a bid for the teenager as they look to win the race.
Legia would allegedly want £10million for Karbownik, but it remains to be seen whether the global pandemic has an impact on what the Polish side can demand.
Karbownik, 19, has come up through the ranks with Legia, and is now featuring as their main left back despite being right-footed.
The teenager can operate at right back or even in central midfield, and he has been a sensation in the Ekstraklasa this season, racking up six assists in just 19 games.
That attacking record will make him an attractive proposition, and whilst it’s a big jump to the Premier League, he does make sense for Tottenham.
Karbownik wouldn’t break the bank, and given that Tottenham need depth at both left back and right back, he could emerge as a player to fill both roles for Jose Mourinho.
