Tottenham Hotspur have a host of wingers at their disposal, but are now being linked with another signing in that area.
Spurs have Son Heung-min as their star winger, whilst Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn offer options there too.
Gareth Bale is on loan until the end of the season, whilst Jack Clarke will be returning from his spell at Stoke City.
Still, The Sunday Mirror (21/02, p67) claim that Tottenham believe they’re winning the race to sign Anderlecht winger Paul Mukairu, who is currently on loan from Antalyaspor.
Mukairu, 21, has impressed in Belgium this season, notching four goals and four assists in 20 appearances for Anderlecht.
The Nigerian is being tipped for a bright future, and Spurs allegedly think they can get him signed up for a fee of just £4million.
Mukairu is currently playing under Vincent Kompany, so what does the Manchester City hero think about the speedy wide man?
Speaking earlier this season, Kompany suggested that Mukairu could become an absolute star, possessing all the necessary attributes to become ‘special’.
“Paul has everything to become a special player,” said Kompany, as quoted by Score Nigeria – and having played with some very special players at City and with Belgium, Spurs fans should be encouraged by his verdict.
