The 19-year-old Frenchman is not sure of a long-term future at PSG.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in the signature of Paris Saint-Germain youngster Jean-Kevin Augustin.

The 19-year-old attacker is a hot prospect at the Ligue 1 giants and has also been a potent threat for the French youth teams, scoring 12 goals in 13 games for the France under-19s and four in six for the under-21s.

Goal recently reported that Spurs and Borussia Dortmund have contacted the player’s representatives recently, informing them of their interest in the player – with a plan of signing him for nothing when his contract expires in 18 months.

Now it is reported by MaxiFoot that the talented attacker has in fact refused to extend his current deal at PSG – as he continues to mull over his future options.

He has loan offers from Saint-Etienne, Rennes, Lorient and Nancy to consider but PSG want him to sign the new deal first, something he is not confident doing as he considers whether he has a long-term future in the French capital.

This will be music to the ears of both Tottenham and Dortmund, who for some time have showed a serious interest in the player.

Time will tell what his next move will be.
