Parma midfielder Mandela Keita has been linked with a move away from the club, and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing him.
According to journalist Guglielmo Trupo, Tottenham are ‘watching’ the 23-year-old closely, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him. Other reports have confirmed that Tottenham have sent scouts to watch the action.
Tottenham eyeing Keita move
It is clear that they want to sign the Belgian, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official proposal. The 23-year-old is a hard-working midfielder who will help out defensively and control the tempo of the game. He has the physicality and technical attributes to develop into a complete midfielder. Tottenham need someone with his skill set, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
Parma Sporting Director Mauro Pederzoli labelled him as a player “of absolute calibre and quality”.
Mandela Keita could fancy a move
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for the young midfielder. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to improve himself in English football. If he manages to adapt to English football quickly, he could be an asset for Tottenham.
Parma will not want to lose a talented player like him easily, and they could demand a premium. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Tottenham need more quality in the squad if they want to do well across multiple competitions. They managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season, but they have been quite mediocre this season. They need to bounce back strongly. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Belgian during the January transfer window. There is no doubt that he could help them improve in the middle of the park.
