Tottenham already have three talented young strikers in their ranks, but they’re now being linked with another.
There are high hopes for Troy Parrott, even though loans to Millwall and Ipswich Town have yet to pay dividends, whilst Kion Etete looks to have some promise.
Dane Scarlett is making waves in the Spurs ranks right now too, meaning Tottenham have a trio of players looking to push to become Harry Kane’s cover.
Now though, 90Min report that Tottenham have been impressed with Matthew Hoppe and could now target the Schalke talent.
Spurs scouts have been tracking Hoppe recently, and with the Bundesliga side in huge debt, a summer move could materialise.
Hoppe did sign a new deal earlier this month, but that may just retain his transfer value rather than keep him in Gelsenkirchen for the long-term.
The 19-year-old has hit five goals in 11 Bundesliga games, becoming Schalke’s new unexpected hero and the new hot prospect of US football.
Spurs fans have been taking to Twitter to suggest that they would love to sign Hoppe, begging Tottenham to get a deal done before their rivals beat them.
Others think there would be no point signing Hoppe given that Spurs already have young strikers who can’t get game time, and would even prefer to look at other American talents.
