TEAMtalk now claim that Tottenham are in the race to sign another St Pat’s Athletic talent in defender Sam Curtis.
Spurs may well believe that they can reunite Curtis with Keeley, but there is rather fierce competition for his signature.
Manchester City and Manchester United are thought to have already made contact over a potential deal for Curtis.
Everton, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Hull City and Middlesbrough are also interested with Curtis spoiled for choice.
The 17-year-old featured for St Pat’s on Sunday as they won the FAI Cup final against Bohemians at the Aviva Stadium.
Scouts will have been watching Curtis in action with the fight for his signature seemingly underway.
Who is Tottenham target Curtis?
Curtis previously spent time with St Kevin’s Boys and Shamrock Rovers before heading to St Pat’s in 2021.
Primarily a right back, Curtis already has five under-21 caps for the Republic of Ireland and senior caps surely won’t be far away.
The interest in Curtis has been building for a while now, as he went on trial with Bayer Leverkusen and Roma in 2021.
St Pat’s youth coach and former Premier League winger Keith Treacy has suggested that the ‘sky is the limit’ for Curtis, believing that he can go all the way to the top.
Tottenham seemingly agree, but beating the two Manchester giants to his signature will not be easy.
