Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs keen on signing the Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney during the summer window.
They will face competition from clubs like Manchester United, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa as well. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official offer to sign the player. According to GMS, multiple Premier League clubs are keen on the player, and there could be a bidding war for the player.
Tottenham have been long-term admirers of the midfielder, and they have been tracking him for a while.
Premier League move could be ideal
Hackney has impressed in the Championship this past season, and the 22-year-old has five goals and three assists to his name. He has been described as an “exemplary” professional by Michael Carrick.
There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the top flight, and the opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to test himself in the Premier League. Regular football at a high level could help him improve further and fulfil his potential.
Tottenham move could be tempting for Hayden Hackney
Tottenham have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they will be an attractive destination for most players. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The England under-21 international will be allowed to leave Middlesbrough this summer, according to the report from GMS. However, the Championship outfit will look to sell him on their terms. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure a reasonable agreement with the Championship outfit.
They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 22-year-old would be a long-term investment. He could develop into a key player for the club with the right guidance. Out of the clubs linked with Hackney, Tottenham are the only ones offering Champions League football, and that could give them an edge in the transfer race.
