Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Julian Hall from the New York Red Bulls Academy.
According to SportsBoom, the 17-year-old is regarded as the “crown jewel” of the Academy, and Tottenham is not the only club keen on him. They will also face competition from Chelsea and Manchester City.
Tottenham impressed with Julian Hall
The report claims that Tottenham are highly impressed by the player’s physical development and ability. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done in the summer. The 17-year-old is a complete forward who is excellent at holding onto the ball and bringing others into play. He is also a capable finisher. Hall has three goals in two MLS outings this season.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for Hall. It would be a major step up in his career, and Tottenham could be the ideal next destination for him. They have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could help the United States attacker improve.
