Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs eyeing a move for Club Brugge's midfield sensation Alexander Stankovic, according to reliable journalist Matteo Moretto.
Spurs have had a poor domestic campaign so far this season, sitting 14th in the Premier League table ahead of their clash against Manchester City in Sunday, while they have also been eliminated from the FA Cup, and Carabao Cup. However, they have had success in Europe, qualifying for the Last 16 after finishing fourth in the league phase of the Champions League.
But the club are keen to strengthen the squad going forward, and a talented young midfielder has emerged as someone they are keeping a very close eye on as a result of his performances this season.
Tottenham Eyeing Alexander Stankovic Move
Stankovic, who is the son of legendary midfielder Dejan, has become one of Europe's top young midfielders this season after joining Brugge from Inter Milan in the summer.
His performances saw him become the youngest Serbian goalscorer in World Cup qualifying for over a decade, and have attracted the attention of a number of top clubs across the continent.
While appearing on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, Moretto revealed that Spurs have sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old regularly this season, but despite their interest, his future remains in the hands of Inter Milan due to the terms of the deal that took him to Belgium.
“Many English clubs have gone to watch him and scout him live – Tottenham, Manchester United, lots of teams," he said.
“But Inter are continuing to follow Stankovic’s development, and they’re staying very calm. Why? Because they have the option to bring him back home either in summer 2026 (July 2026) by paying €23 million, or in July 2027 by paying €25 million. So basically, in the end, it’s all in Inter’s hands.”
Tottenham Midfield Full of Gems
Tottenham have always been a great place for top young talents to go and develop, and their current midfield options show that. Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray are considered to be two of the top midfield prospects in Europe, while the likes of Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, and Wilson Odobert are also shining.
The addition of Stankovic would be a brilliant signing, but whether he would have the same impact in the Premier League remains to be seen. He's clearly super talented, and Spurs are smart to be in the mix, but they face tough competition and it won't be an easy deal to get done.
