If Tottenham Hotspur can land Sheffield United winger David Brooks for £10 million from Sheffield United, it could turn out to be yet another bargain buy for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

According to The Sun (25/2 page 65), Spurs are negotiating a summer deal for Brooks – who they have identified as a potential star of the future.

The 20-year-old is still very lightweight, and has not fully established himself as a permanent starter for Sheffield United yet.

However, Brooks looks to be a real talent, and once he develops physically he could be a major threat at any level.

Brooks is blessed with pace, skill and creativity – and Spurs could be the ideal place for him to develop.

Tottenham have helped progress the careers of some of England’s brightest prospects in recent times, and Brooks could be added to that list, if he was to join Pochettino’s side.

And if Spurs can get a deal tied up to sign Brooks for £10 million, it would be an exciting way to kick off next summer’s transfer business.
