Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Udinese winger Rodrigo De Paul, but only at the end of the season – and Spurs fans are excited at the prospect of landing the Argentine.

Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb have reported that the 24-year-old is a summer target for Tottenham, but Mauricio Pochettino faces competition from Inter Milan and Napoli for the his signature.

De Paul began his career at at Argentine side Racing Club before moving to Valencia, where although he only scored two goals in 44 games, his hard work and fiery style of play won fans over.

A brief return to Racing on loan was followed by a move to Udinese, where he is considered one of the club’s best players. He has scored 15 goals and created the same amount in assists during his 94 outings.

This season, De Paul has been on fire. He has scored six goals and created three more in just 19 Serie A appearances, and that has alerted the likes of Spurs, Inter and Napoli.
