Tottenham Hotspur are said to have been tracking the Aston Villa winger for a while now, so is it time to make their move?
According to the Mirror, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Andre Green from Aston Villa this summer, but should Tottenham Hotspur make their move while there is still time?
After all, the same report claims the 19-year-old has been watched by Spurs as he has come through the ranks at Villa Park, and with Mauricio Pochettino’s side looking for another winger, Green could fit the bill.
Tottenham have some of the best young players in the country coming through their ranks, yet that has not stopped them moving for more, with Dele Alli a case in point.
When the right player comes along, in the right age bracket and for a potential bargain price, you can rest assured Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will be somewhere near the front of the queue.
With less than two years left on his current contract, Villa will know they risk losing Green for a knock-down fee next summer if a new deal is not agreed in the interim.
But with time still remaining in the current window, could Spurs make their move in a bid to head off rival suitors and ensure they have another wide option on their books ahead of a tough campaign?
Green could be swayed by the prospect of joining a Champions League club but he is still young enough to accept that he would have to bide his time and make do with substitute appearances to start with.
Tottenham need more players while they can get them, and if Villa show any inclination to sell the young wide man they should ready a bid of their own, especially when you consider he can operate on either flank or as a secondary striker if required.
