According to Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten, Tottenham Hotspur are chasing a double-deal for Red Bull Salzburg’s Dimitri Oberlin and Amadou Haidara in the summer.

Salzburg have been the surprise outfit in the Europa League this season, and still remain in the European competition.

The Austrian sides players have started to enhance their reputations, and both Oberlin and Haidara are considered to be two of their key stars.

Oberlin and Haidara are both still young, but they have shown plenty of signs of promise this campaign.

Tottenham have now been linked with the pair, with both said to be on Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s radar.

However, the double-deal is hardly the exciting transfer that most Spurs fans were hoping for when they moved to the new ground.

Tottenham fans have understood that spending mammoth fees may be unrealistic while their new ground is being built.

However, they may not continue to be so patient, once they are playing in their new home ground.

And if Tottenham continue to take punts on untested youngsters, rather than proven players, beyond this summer, then frustrations with their transfer policy may begin to arise.
