Striker Reo Griffiths has been linked with a move away from Tottenham.
Teenage sensation Reo Griffiths’ red-hot form for Tottenham Hotspur this season is reportedly attracting the interest of ambitious German side RB Leipzig, but Spurs should do all they can to keep Griffiths in north London.
Dubbed the “new Harry Kane”, 17-year-old Griffiths has been in sensational form for Spurs’ Under-18 side this season, scoring 20 goals for Scott Parker’s side.
He even amassed an excellent hat-trick in a 4-1 win Under-18 Premier League Cup semi-final over north London rivals Arsenal, catching the eye of fans and seemingly other clubs alike.
ESPN claim Bundesliga side Leipzig are now interested in landing the young striker, with Paul Mitchell looking to raid his old side after taking the job of head of recruitment at Leipzig.
Spurs are renowned for their ability to conjure up exciting new talent, with the likes of Kane, Harry Winks, Josh Onomah, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Marcus Edwards and plenty more impressing in the Mauricio Pochettino era.
Griffiths is the newest example of Spurs’ academy once again producing the goods, and keeping a player of Griffiths’ potential and talent is key if Spurs are to progress as a club.
Pochettino must offer the England youth international a new contract in an attempt to persuade to keep him at the club, and offer him the chance to shine in the first team next season.
Leipzig seems a flattering prospect for young stars – Ademola Lookman was swayed into moving on loan from Everton in January. But Spurs must do all they can to convince Griffiths that his future is at Tottenham.
