Tottenham have held talks to sign one player who is being actively pursued by Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.
Beating Liverpool to signings is certainly not going to be easy for Tottenham in the upcoming window, after they narrowly avoided being relegated from the Premier League.
The North London club are going to be without European football next season, which makes it more difficult for them to attract players, especially against sides that are in the Champions League.
Spurs are going to have to be clever with their recruitment. If they are targeting young talents from around the world, they have to offer them more of a pathway to first-team football than their rivals.
Tottenham Hold Young Startlet Transfer Talks
According to a report from Team Talk, Tottenham have held talks with Hertha Berlin youngster Kennet Eichhorn ahead of the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Liverpool are one of the leading contenders to sign him if he decides to make a move to England this summer, but Tottenham are waiting patiently.
According to Sky Sports earlier this week, Liverpool opened talks to sign the German youngster, who has a release clause in the region of £10m.
The 16-year-old wonderkid, described as a 'special' talent by scout Jacek Kulig, does plan on heading through the exit door in the summer transfer window, but it remains to be seen whether he's keen on a move to England.
Tottenham Could Struggle in Eichhorn Race
Beating Liverpool to the signing of Eichhorn certainly won't be easy for Tottenham heading into the summer transfer window.
Interestingly, the German youngster wouldn't be eligible to play in England just yet due to his age, meaning it would likely be a pre-agreed signing for the future.
If Eichhorn is going to make a decision now, then Liverpool is undoubtedly the more attractive prospect, considering Tottenham were almost relegated this season.
A host of other clubs are also in the race to secure his signature, so it could be a difficult deal for Tottenham to pull off due to the competition.
