According to a recent report, one of the brightest young prospects on the planet is in discussions to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer transfer window.
The North Londoners have recently invested in youth of late, namely in the additions of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergval.
The pair, both aged 18, have lofty ceilings and are expected to be part of Ange Postecoglou’s first team next season.
That said, the club are continuing that trend and are now in talks to sign one of the most promising prospects in the world.
Boris Lum has visited Tottenham’s training ground
Herth Berlin teenager Boris Lum has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur for much of this year and it now seems the deal could be accelerating.
According to Bild, Lum has visited Tottenham on three separate occasions for talks and is understood to have visited their training ground.
The German youth international also attended a fixture last term, indicating that the club are desperate to land his highly sought-after signature.
Manchester City, Ajax and Bayern Munich are among the other interested parties and could provide stiff competition for his signature.
Lum has a £4.2m release clause in his contract which is valid for another two years.
Hertha Berlin coach in awe of Boris Lum
Herth Berlin coach Pal Dardai has waxed lyrical about Lum and admitted that he’s one of the greatest talents he’s seen in recent times.
“I haven’t seen a central midfielder like that at Hertha for a long time,” Dardai said, via Boy Hotspur.
“He is one of the greatest talents of recent years. It’s a pleasure to watch him play. He is a born footballer.”
If Spurs are able to land his signature, it’d be a really exciting addition as he could develop into their defensive midfielder for the next two decades.
