Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with an 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund starlet, and perhaps a second should also be on their radar.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
A recent report from the Daily Mail suggested that Tottenham Hotspur were keeping a keen eye on Borussia Dortmund starlet Christian Pulisic, and judging by recent speculation surrounding one of their star men, the American international should perhaps not be the only 18-year-old currently plying their trade at the Westfalenstadion that Spurs should be looking at.
According to the Telegraph, Kyle Walker is set to consider his future at the end of the season with a number of clubs now interested and ready to hand the England international a better deal than the one he is currently on.
With Kieran Trippier currently impressing when called upon, Mauricio Pochettino may want to take a gamble on a younger, less established name if Walker leaves, and that is where Felix Passlack should come in.
The 18-year-old is arguably one of the most exciting prospects in Thomas Tuchel’s squad, having made a handful of appearances for the first-team since making his debut towards the end of last season.
Tottenham’s Kyle Walker
Passlack seems to have the potential to be one of Europe’s best full-backs, but has already shown that he is not one-dimensional, having come through the ranks playing much higher up the pitch.
That history as an attacking player has meant that he is definitely not afraid to get down the line and offer the kind of support in attack that Spurs supporters have expected to see from Walker in recent years.
Given how highly-rated Passlack is, it would hardly be a surprise if the teenager commanded a hefty fee, but given that Tottenham will surely earn a sizeable amount of money if they sell Walker, the fee for his replacement may not hurt the bank balance too much and may see Tottenham come out of the summer with a player who appears to have the capabilities to become one of Europe’s best defenders.
