TEAMtalk can reveal that Tottenham Hotspur have joined the growing list of admirers for an incredible Porto midfield talent, with Thomas Frank making a quality new addition for his engine room a major focus for the January window.
The north London club expect to make a significant splash in the January window again, after a net spend of over £150million during the summer, with two or three key areas potentially being bolstered.
It’s common knowledge that adding another left winger is paramount for Tottenham in the new year, but central defence and midfield are also positions Frank is well aware need bolstering.
To that end, a fresh report has emerged tipping the club to move for outstanding Porto talent Victor Froholdt.
The 19-year-old Dane is making a big impression for club and country, with TEAMtalk transfer insider Fraser Fletcher recently revealing Brighton and Atletico Madrid’s interest in the midfielder.
However, we’ve also been told that Spurs’ interest is concrete too in a player who has previously been labeled as ‘very special’ by current Denmark coach Brian Riemer.
Indeed, Froholdt scored and also grabbed an assist in his first start for his country in the World Cup qualifying win over Belarus on Thursday night.
And now CaughtOffside states there is a €50-60million (£43-52m / $58-69m) transfer battle on for the Porto talent.
Froholdt’s has all the physicality required, along with the technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and has been described as an ‘ideal fit’ for Frank’s Tottenham.
The report adds that Froholdt will be tempted to move to England if the opportunity is presented, with Spurs considered an attractive destination – especially with fellow Dane Frank in charge in north London.
And, while the move might be considered a big step for the teenager at this stage of his career, it’s one that he is considered more than capable of making.

Who is Victor Froholdt?
Midfielder of the month. Young player of the month. Player of the month. Those were the accolades being picked up by Victor Froholdt at the first time of asking after his move to FC Porto in the summer of 2025.
After winning a league and cup double in Denmark with FC Copenhagen – as a member of the Superliga team of the year, and as the league’s young player of the year – Froholdt’s rapid rise is continuing in Portugal.
Still only 19, he thrives in a box to box role, possessing good attacking and defensive qualities and standing out for his ball carrying. He can play on the wing too, but is aiming to carve out his future as a central midfielder.
Back in September 2023, Froholdt made his debut for Copenhagen’s first team, marking the occasion with a goal (although it was against a lower-ranking team in a comprehensive cup win).
As the calibre of challenge has increased for Froholdt, he has continued to make an impression. He earned his senior international debut for Denmark in March 2025, four months before becoming Copenhagen’s biggest ever sale by joining Porto for north of €20m.
Porto will be hoping he’s worth the faith they’ve put in him. They couldn’t have asked for much more from his early showings.
