Spurs think they're leading race for £10m talent Gloukh

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly believe that they lead the race to sign Oscar Gloukh and have now made contact to sign the midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur believe that they are leading the race to sign Oscar Gloukh, and the Sunday Mirror (10/7; page 74) reporting that Spurs have now made contact about a move for the youngster.

Antonio Conte’s men have been one of the pace-setters in the transfer market in the Premier League. Clearly, much of their business has been done ahead of their pre-season tour.

However, it appears that there is more to come. And Gloukh is one of the players on Tottenham’s radar.

The 18-year-old is attracting attention after impressing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. He scored three goals in eight games from attacking midfield last season.

In fact, Spurs have already made contact about a possible move for Gloukh. And Tottenham think that they are the ones leading the charge for his signature.

Maccabi meanwhile, want up to £10 million for their starlet, who has been likened to Yossi Benayoun.

One of the few criticisms made about Conte’s management is that the impact he makes almost favours the short-term just too much.

Signing someone such as Ivan Perisic may not really benefit Tottenham down the line. But it is a fantastic signing for the next couple of seasons.

However, Spurs are indeed keeping one eye on the team coming through. They have some amazing prospects already in the ranks, being led by Dane Scarlett and Alfie Devine.

Signing players such as Gloukh would clearly be an exciting deal. Clubs such as Ajax and Dortmund uncover some incredible gems. And they both want him now.

So, Tottenham going on to win the race could really be significant.

Dear lord, I will not be able to cope with the wave of local morons that will start supporting Spurs if we get Glouch.

Good player. Very composed, but it would be a small gamble. Israeli players sometimes find it hard to adjust to physical football and there’s the question of his conscription

Nothing going to matter. Haaland is pure class. Zero chance being a flop. Only if he start suffering more and more from injuries. He is best striker currently.

You think history would teach people. Let's take our own Paul Gascoigne the talent to have matched Maradona....what happened his own instability saw him a shadow of himself within three years of being balon dor good. Haaland like all players is a gamble. Also Sancho looked incredible...now poor man's Aaron Lennon.

Sancho might have looked decent for BVB in the Bundesliga, but he looked worse than average in every single England game. Often against way more inferior teams.
I personally don't watch the Bundesliga at all so couldn't say he ever looked good.
Haaland on the other hand has rarely ever had a bad game for club or country. He's steppe up and broken records at every level he's played at.
He has all the physical attributes a footballer could want, height, power, speed. On top of that every bone in his body is screaming that he's determined to be the best.
People say the likes of Kane and Beckham were first in and last out at training and totally single minded in improving themselves.
They and the likes of Ronaldo and Messi etc live clean lives, avoiding bad habits. Haaland, right now at least, is in that bracket of elite athlete with an elite attitude.
On top of all that, he seems to have his head screwed on. He got buy out clauses in his contracts so he can decide when and where he goes, and for fees that let him earn as much from his success as his ex club.

He's a special talent and he will succeed as long as he doesn't get broken.

Height, speed and power are almost useless at City. If your first touch isn’t impeccable, you will look a mess

He looks devastating but City don’t play counter attacking football. I’m sure he will do well and get 20 PL goals but there’s a chance it might not work out. You have to play the patterns and retain the ball or your exposed and out the door. under Baldie. He can look a bit rigid and the ball bounces around in close spaces

To a degree you're right, I'd say passing is his weakness, and at City he's going to need to be able to do that a lot. Really he would have been better off at Spurs, would have suited his game better, but he is an elite level player who we could not attract whereas City could. The big question is going to be how much City will change the way they play, and if they don't then how quickly can Haaland adjust his own game? He will get so many chances at City though.
