Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Hertha Berlin teenager Boris Lum, with Bayern Munich also tracking the midfielder.
The 16-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in Germany, with Lum training on numerous occasions with the Hertha first-team and catching the eye of scouts and coaches.
Lauded by Tagesspiegel as an ‘extremely talented’ midfielder, Lum is close to making his professional debut with Hertha, yet Tottenham might now beat the German side to the punch.
According to Bild, the north London side are interested in Lum, though Tottenham already face some stern competition for the teenager’s signature, with Bayern, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen all in the mix.
With RB Salzburg also interested in signing Lum, the battle to recruit the 16-year-old could be an epic one in the coming months, especially if Tottenham continue to push for the teenager.
Yet with so many top European clubs with proven development track records interested in Lum, this could be one war that Tottenham might have to concede defeat in already.
Whilst the Premier League is an appealing destination for any player, Tottenham should realise by now that signing Lum will be no easy task.
With Bayern, Ajax and Salzburg interested in the midfielder, the Hertha wonderkid already has three outstanding options that could help unlock Lum’s potential to the absolute fullest.
Moreover, with Tottenham in a transitional phase, Lum might realise that it could be years before he makes his professional debut for the north London side.
As a result, the teenager might be better off either staying with Hertha or making a move to an Ajax or Salzburg, where his development could accelerate at an incredible rate.
