Tottenham lead the race to sign Liverpool target Hugo Larsson

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly leading race to sign Liverpool target and Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Larsson this summer, according to football transfers.

It has been suggested that the Lilywhites are planning to spend money once again in the next transfer window to strengthen the team and continue the reconstruction under the direction of Ange Postecoglou.

The north London club reportedly want to strengthen their attack and defence, but strengthening the engine room with the purchase of a new midfielder is also on their agenda ahead of next season.

Chelsea Star Conor Gallagher has been mentioned as serious targets for Spurs, but apart from him, several other options have also emerged as key targets, with Larsson being the new name.

According to the report of football transfersPostecoglou wants to sign a young box-to-box midfielder, a player similar to Rodrigo Bentancur, and has identified Larsson as a serious option.

However, the report claims that Liverpool and Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also interested in signing the 19-year-old and have been following his development of late.

But it has been reported that Tottenham are currently the “pioneers” in this race after “stepping up” their efforts in recent times.

football transfers He also claims that, having recently signed for Frankfurt, Larsson still has more than four years left on his current contract, meaning Tottenham will have to pay a “substantial fee” to secure his signature.

Having recently revamped their engine room, the Merseyside club currently have enough resources in that position that they do not need to invest further to strengthen the midfield unless they take advantage of one of the current options.

So, Larsson – valued at around £24 million per Transfer market – It would be better to join Tottenham than Liverpool if the two clubs clash over this deal in the next transfer window.

The 19-year-old is a talented player and possesses great potential, so could be a shrewd signing for Tottenham if they buy him. However, he is still very young and doesn't have much experience playing at the highest level, so he needs time to flourish in his career should he eventually move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane this summer.
