Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Blackburn Rovers ace Bradley Dack.
Blackburn Rovers have seen Bradley Dack adjust brilliantly to life in the Championship, but he may end up in the Premier League if rumours are to be believed.
Former Gillingham ace Dack was a sensation in Rovers’ promotion-winning campaign last season, scoring 18 goals in 45 games to help Tony Mowbray’s men win automatic promotion back to the Championship.
The 24-year-old playmaker is now starring in the Championship, as he has started his season with six goals and two assists in nine outings, whilst he even scored twice in his one League Cup game this season.
Now, a host of clubs are being linked with Dack, and the London Evening Standard reported today that Tottenham Hotspur are now watching him ahead of a potential move.
Tottenham will face competition for his signature, and one club who should be plotting a move to join the race for Dack is West Ham United.
Dack – who may cost somewhere between £15million to £20million in January – has the creativity, energy, quality and goal threat that West Ham are looking for through the middle of the park.
West Ham’s central midfield options – such as Pedro Obiang, Declan Rice and Mark Noble – are all fairly defensive-minded, and Dack would add some more quality to Manuel Pellegrini’s options, whilst offering support to Mark Arnautovic from an advanced midfield position.
The Hammers were linked with Norwich City’s James Maddison in January, but didn’t pull the trigger. Maddison’s success with Leicester City should convince West Ham to spend big on another Championship star, and if any playmaker can make the next step up, it’s Dack – and West Ham must rival Tottenham to bring the London-born star back to the capital.
