According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are interested in signing Sunderland striker Joe Hugill.

It has been reported that Tottenham are favourites to secure the services of the English youngster in the summer transfer window.

The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Spurs scout Ian Broomfield watched the youngster in action last week.

Everton are also interested in the teenager and scouted him last week as well, according to the report.

One for the long term

Hugill is playing well for the Sunderland youth team and has also turned out for the Black Cats’ Under-23 side this season.

It is clear that the English youngster is not ready for the first team for any club yet.

The striker is doing well at the youth levels, and one suspects that moving to Tottenham or Everton would be very tempting for him.

However, Hugill should not rush into making a decision, and must pick the club where he likely to develop and progress the most.

Tottenham and Everton are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season, while Sunderland are challenging for automatic promotion from League One to the Championship.
