Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly tracking the Lyon teenager.
A report emanating from Austria yesterday claims that Spurs are closely monitoring the progress of Lyon teenager Willem Geubbels, with a view to making an approach for the youngster this month, according to Austrian media outlet Salzburger Nachrichten.
Mauricio Pochettino will surely be looking to bolster his options at Tottenham this month, but many expected him to target proven, established stars who would be able to make an immediate impact.

The Argentine has always had a penchant for bringing in young players with huge potential for the future, however, and Geubbels fits that bill perfectly.
The 16-year-old is highly rated in his homeland, and has already made three appearances for Lyon this season, and has really impressed with the level of maturity that he has displayed.
A left winger by trade, Geubbles possesses pace in abundance, and plays with a certain type of fearless aggression that would surely appeal to Pochettino.

Salzburger Nachrichten claim that Lyon have already rebuffed an approach from Red Bull Salzburg, and that Tottenham are closely monitoring developments.
Whilst he wouldn’t be a player for the here and now, he would still be an exciting prospect for Spurs, should they manage to get a deal over the line for the 16-year-old.
