Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring Bradley Dack after his brilliant start to the season.

It was reported by the London Evening Standard this week that Spurs have had a look at Bradley Dack with the attacking midfielder enjoying a sensational run of form with Blackburn Rovers.

Dack has scored six Championship goals already, and it now appears that Mauricio Pochettino may attempt to lure him away from Ewood Park in January.

And based on some comments that Dack made ahead of a cup tie with Tottenham in 2016, it would appear that he would be realising a major dream if he ended up joining Spurs in the winter.

Dack – whose dad is a Spurs fan – was playing for Gillingham at the time and ahead of the tie, he expressed his hope that he could follow in Dele Alli’s footsteps following the midfielder’s move from League One to the Premier League the previous year.

“When you see Dele achieve what he has, it gives hope to everyone at our level,” he said, as reported by the Daily Mail.

“This is a big year for me. I am happy at Gillingham but I think everyone knows I want to go and play in the Premier League at some stage,” he went on to add.

Alli’s remarkable spell in the top flight should leave Spurs feeling extremely confident that Dack may be able to step up if Tottenham’s interest leads to a successful bid when the window opens.

Dack has answered every question asked of him so far in his career, and it appears inevitable that he will be heading into the top flight at some stage.

He now appears to be on the cusp of following in Alli’s footsteps just as he hoped to two years ago. But, while he may have always had the belief that he was Premier League-bound one day, he probably would not have imagined that he may get the chance to follow exactly the same path as the current Spurs star.
