The PSG youngster would be the ideal striking addition at Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur look set to be busy in the upcoming transfer window, with at least one new striker expected to arrive this summer along with a number of other options to strengthen key areas.
While Spurs have one of the most exciting and effective starting XIs in the Premier League, their lack of squad depth is something that needs to be rectified ahead of the new campaign, in which they will again be competing in the Champions League as well as for three domestic trophies.
While some Tottenham fans are calling for a more experienced striker to ease the pressure on regular top-scorer Harry Kane, the North London club have a habit of signing young prospects with significant sell-on value, and one such player could go down a storm at Spurs in the form of Jean-Kevin Augustin.
Back in December, Goal.com claimed Tottenham had made it clear to the player’s representatives that they wanted to sign him in 2018, when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired, but what chance Daniel Levy fast-tracking the plan given his ongoing struggle for regular game time?
The 19-year-old has pace and power in abundance and his innate ability in front of goal marks him out as one to watch, despite his lack of minutes for PSG.
To date Augustin has scored 12 goals in 20 under-19 games for the Ligue 1 side and he has featured 31 times for the first-team; predominantly from the bench but still managing two goals and four assists in the process.
He may have been dreaming of a breakthrough in France when Tottenham first made their interest known, but that seems as far away as ever.
That would not be the case at Tottenham, who regularly give youth a chance and could benefit from signing a player who could make a huge impact on the Premier League.
If Tottenham do not move fast, someone else will, and after missing out on the likes of Ousman Dembele it is time Levy got in first.
