Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ajax goalkeeper Tommy Setford – just as Arsenal target his brother Charlie.
Ajax could lose both Charlie and Tommy Setford with the two goalkeepers attracting interest from top Premier League clubs.
That is according to a report from TEAMtalk, who report that the Setford brothers could move to England.
Premier League clubs will be seeking first-team additions in January but most top-flight sides also want talents for the future.
Plenty of money is now invested in young players for development squads and it looks like Ajax could now lose not one but two prospects.
Premier League clubs keen on Ajax duo Charlie and Tommy Setford
TEAMtalk now report that interest is building in Ajax’s teenage goalkeeper Charlie Steford as well as his brother and fellow stopper Tommy Setford.
It’s stated that Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham United are looking closely at Charlie ahead of the January window.
The report adds that Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both targeting his brother Tommy whilst Chelsea want both brothers.
The pair hail from Haarlem in the Netherlands but represent England at youth international level.
Their father is English golfer Chris Setford, who has been living in the Netherlands for a while now, hence the dual nationality of the two goalkeepers.
Charlie is the more senior of the two at 19, and he has been featuring as Jong Ajax’s first-choice goalkeeper whilst even serving as captain in some games.
Charlie has also played for both England and the Netherlands at youth level but is now part of the England Under-20 setup.
Tommy already has 17 caps for the England Under-17 side and is currently playing for Ajax’s Under-18’s.
The 17-year-old appears to have big potential and Tottenham are now looking to add him to their goalkeeping ranks alongside the likes of Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster.
