Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Angel Correa.

Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to move on right back Kieran Trippier, and Atletico Madrid appear to have stepped forward with a move.

Sky Sports claim that Trippier may be heading for a medical with Atletico shortly, with the 28-year-old all set for a shock move to Spain.

An interesting line emerged in that report though, suggesting that Tottenham have now been offered the chance to sign Angel Correa as part of the deal.

Once touted for stardom, Correa hasn’t really lived up to expectations at Atletico, and he registered just three goals and two assists last season.

The 24-year-old has been stifled of his flair under Diego Simeone though, and some may feel that he can show his quality under a more expansive manager – such as Mauricio Pochettino.

His versatility will make him hugely appealing, as he can play wide, off a striker or up front, possessing similar usage to Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura in attack.

Spurs now have a decision to make on Correa, but a host of fans feel that this is a chance that Pochettino must take, feeling that Correa can be another dangerous attacking option.

Some are hoping that the rumours are true, and don’t understand what Tottenham are waiting for, feeling that Correa would be a huge addition in a swap for Trippier.
