Tottenham are showing strong interest in a summer move for promising AIK forward Kevin Filling, Swedish publication Expressen has claimed.
The Lilywhites have reportedly made a ‘concrete enquiry’ regarding the 16-year-old starlet, having taken notice of Filling’s remarkable rise in recent months.
The Sweden U17 international was handed his first-team debut by AIK in June and scored in his very first senior appearance, a 3-0 league win over Goteborg.
Days later, he was rewarded with his first professional contract by the Swedish side, who have tied Filling to the club until the summer of 2028.

Among Premier League clubs interested in the 16-year-old
According to Expressen, several major European clubs have been monitoring Filling closely in recent weeks, including both Tottenham and Manchester United, who have registered their interest with concrete enquiries.
While United are said to be willing to sign Filling and loan him to Swiss side Lausanne, Spurs are planning to send him back to AIK for development if they manage to secure the deal.
However, AIK are believed to have no plans to sell the 'enormous' 17-year-old talent at the moment, having just signed him to a long-term deal running until June 2028.
Filling suffered an injury following his first-team debut in June and has yet to make another appearance for the Swedish side.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Filling has scored once in three appearances for Sweden U17.
Tottenham are anticipating a busy final month of the summer transfer window, as captain Son Heung-min has announced his departure and is now close to signing with MLS side Los Angeles FC.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, LAFC have sent a delegation to South Korea to try to finalise an agreement with Tottenham, who are currently in the country for pre-season.
