Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want Andreas Skov Olsen this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are linked to a number of players this summer, but the hardest target of them all might also be the one with the lowest profile.
Andreas Skov Olsen is hardly a household name and yet 26 goals for the 19-year-old winger, in 44 games, indicates that he might be in the coming years.
According to The Sun, Tottenham are interested in signing the Nordsjaelland starlet.
The good news is that it’s Spurs and Mauricio Pochettino will fancy his chances of luring any teenager to North London, given his reputation of improving young players. The bad news is that, well, there’s a gazillion other clubs interested in the Danish sensation.
Carsten Jensen, Director of Football with the Danish side, revealed to TV3 Sport on Friday that as many as 20 clubs have made ‘serious’ approaches for Olsen this summer.
He said briefly: “Right now, 20 clubs have approached us seriously.”
Yes, the North Londoners, beaten Champions League finalists earlier this month, are a huge club these days, but competing with 19 other sides could make this one something of a lottery.
Plus, Pochettino is set to sign 18-year-old Leeds winger Jack Clarke and when that goes through, Olsen might consider that as a negative when weighing up his options, given that it could reduce his chances of first-team football next year.
Everton have also been linked.
