Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the young forward.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur have joined the list of clubs paying close attention to Hamburg teenager Jann-Fiete Arp, with the 17-year-old scoring two goals in just three Bundesliga appearances so far this season.
Spurs already have one of the best strikers in Europe in the form of Harry Kane, but Mauricio Pochettino’s side would suffer a major blow if they lost the forward for any length of time and the prospect of Arp arriving is a tantalising one.
The Germany under-17 international has sent shock waves through German football this season, finding the net in back-to-back matches against Hertha Berlin and VfB Stuttgart, and if he continues on his current trajectory he should get plenty more goals in the months ahead.
Tottenham have made a habit of targeting some of the best young players in the world, with Juan Foyth and Davinson Sanchez joining their ranks back in the summer.
Arp would be another fine addition, although the Mail reports that Tottenham are not alone in their admiration, with Chelsea and Arsenal also keen on the player.
The report claims the youngster is similar in style to Kane and you can expect Tottenham to maintain their scouting trips between now and January, with the player’s contract situation raising the possibility of a bargain deal considering his talent and potential.
