Tottenham Hotspur have been named as a club interested in signing a promising young midfielder, but they are facing plenty of competition from Chelsea and more.
Tottenham have come to the end of another season, meaning the board will turn their focus to the upcoming summer transfer window. It has been a campaign of highs and lows and one thing is certain – Spurs need to sign some new players.
Rumours of potential arrivals and departures have already begun to surface, with strengthening in midfield appearing to be a point of interest for Tottenham. It has already been revealed that Spurs have renewed their interest in Eberechi Eze and Angel Gomes.
There are likely to be plenty of reports on other players in the coming months and one has recently emerged linking an 18-year-old prospect to Tottenham.
Tottenham are one of the clubs interested in Lennon Miller
Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller has been making a name for himself in Scotland this season and his initially localised fame has quickly spread.
Tottenham have been named as one of the teams interested in the player who was recently given a senior call-up to the Scottish national team. TBR Football revealed Spurs have made contact about signing Miller, along with Arsenal, Liverpool and a number of other Premier League clubs.
However, Chelsea’s owners BlueCo are looking to win the race and sign him for Strasbourg, the London outfit’s sister club. Serie A clubs have also shown their interest in Miller, while he has been linked with Celtic during the current season.

Lennon Miller would back himself at Spurs
Miller does not believe there is a challenge too big for him. After receiving a Scotland call-up in March, he controversially said he could be the best player in the team after a couple of months, a statement which divided opinion among the Tartan Army’s supporters.
He said (Goal.com): “I’m confident in my own ability. I’m obviously not going to go in and be the best player there, but I believe that I could maybe in a couple of months, be the best player there. I think that’s how you need to think as a football player – you need to want to be the best.”
Backing yourself to become the best player in Scotland – a country with a population of over five million – within just a matter of months certainly shows extreme confidence.
The talent became Motherwell’s youngest ever captain when he led the team against Rangers in the League Cup semi-final last year. He has made 39 appearances in all competitions this season, registering four goals and eight assists.
