Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant boost ahead of potentially pushing to win the race for Roony Bardghji as the Copenhagen star has been giving indications that he is prepared to complete a switch to Hotspur Way when the transfer window reopens, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Spurs are heading into the summer having ended their 17-year wait for silverware, thanks to Brennan Johnson's first half goal in the Europa League final victory over Manchester United last week, but boss Ange Postecoglou and influential figures behind the scenes are eager to bolster the squad.
Although Tottenham still need to make a final decision on whether to keep Mathys Tel, with there being a £45million option to buy the Frenchman at the end of his loan spell from Bayern Munich, Bardghji is on the north Londoners' radar as a potential acquisition as preparations are made for next season.

North Londoners could still opt against attempting to land teenager
Bardghji is open to sealing a summer move to Tottenham, according to GMS sources, but there remains uncertainty over whether he will be among the fresh faces to head to the capital as he has not been pinpointed as a priority target despite being included on a long list of possible recruits.
The wide forward is preparing to enter the final six months of his Copenhagen contract, with his current terms being due to expire at the end of December, and that has resulted in him being eager to assess potential landing spots as the Danish side consider taking advantage of their final opportunity to cash in.
GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are long-term admirers of Bardghji, who has showcased his talent since breaking into the senior squad at the Parken Stadium, and he is interested in embarking on a fresh challenge in the Premier League for the first time in his career.
Spurs are contemplating whether to recruit the Sweden under-21 international, who has been described as an 'outrageous talent' by scout Jacek Kulig, as they go in search of providing the likes of fellow countryman Dejan Kulusevski and Johnson with improved competition on the right flank.
Tottenham are aware that Bardghji will hold good value in the market as his contract situation has led to Copenhagen being unable to demand a hefty sum, GMS sources have learned, and their interest may intensify if it becomes clear that he is available for a cut-price fee in the region of £10million.

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are in danger of facing stiff competition from Premier League counterparts if they decide to up the ante as Bardghji has also been in Manchester City's sights for a prolonged period, while Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa's potential interest is being explored.
The 19-year-old was ruled out for up to 12 months when he sustained a serious knee injury during a training session with Copenhagen in May 2024, but he made his return to action in March and Spurs have been among the sides keeping tabs on his performances following his spell on the treatment table.
Bardghji also has options away from the Premier League as Lazio and Lille are interested in tempting him to Serie A and Ligue 1 respectively, GMS sources understand, and other admirers are expected to enter the race in the coming days as they prepare for the summer transfer window to open for business.
GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are increasingly confident that the teenager will be attracted to the prospect of linking up with Lucas Bergvall, who he has played alongside at youth level for Sweden, if he is given the green-light to complete a switch to north London before next season.
