AZ Alkmaar midfielder Sven Mijnans is a target for Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.
According to Sports Boom, they have sent scouts to watch the player in action, and they have received glowing recommendations.
Spurs scouting Sven Mijnans
The scouts believe the Netherlands midfielder is “Premier League-ready” and could cost around £26 million. Tottenham have the financial muscle to pay the asking price for him, and it will be interesting to see if they follow it up with an official proposal to get the deal done.
Mijnans has 16 goals to his name in all competitions this season, and he has picked up eight assists as well. The playmaker is at the peak of his career, and this could be an exciting opportunity for him. He will look to test himself at the highest level, and moving to the Premier League could be ideal. Tottenham need more creativity in the final third, and the 26-year-old can operate in the number ten role. The left-footed playmaker will help create opportunities for his teammates and open up deep defence with his passing and vision.
Mijnans is a target for Palace as well
Meanwhile, Spurs will face competition from Crystal Palace as well. It remains to be seen whether they can win the race for his signature. The Dutch midfielder will certainly be attracted to the idea of joining the London outfit. They are among the biggest clubs in England.
This has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, but they have an ambitious project and a quality team. They could easily bounce back next season with the right manager in charge. The midfielder is likely to be attracted to the possibility of playing for them.
The £26 million investment could prove a bargain if the player adapts to English football quickly.
