Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign the VfB Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch.
The 19-year-old central defender has done well in the Bundesliga, and he is on the radar of Liverpool and Arsenal as well. All three clubs have been scouting him this season, and he could cost around £30 million. According to a report from SportsBoom (h/t CaughtOffside), the 19-year-old has attracted the attention of big teams with his “clutch” performances.
Finn Jeltsch could become a star in future
He is still a young player with a lot of room for development. He could become a star in future. The reported asking price is quite reasonable for an elite talent like him, and he could easily justify the investment in the long run.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham is willing to pay. Cristian Romero has been linked with an exit, and they will need to replace him. Signing the 19-year-old German could be a wise decision. Even though he might not be as good as the South American right now, he could live up to the expectations with the right guidance.
The opportunity to join Tottenham will be exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career, and regular football in England could accelerate his development.
Arsenal remain keen on Jeltsch
Arsenal are also interested in the player. However, they have plenty of options in the defensive unit. The young defender will want to join a club where he can play more often. Tottenham could be a more attractive destination for him.
Tottenham is currently fighting for survival in the Premier League and must secure their place in the top flight next season to attract top-quality talents. It remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly and sign the German defender.
