Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Jean-Matteo Bahoya

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Jean-Matteo Bahoya this summer, according to The Athletic. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want reinforcements in the final third and have held talks with the French winger’s representatives before the window began. However, Spurs have yet to contact Frankfurt for talks as Bahoya has never been seen as a primary target. The 21-year-old has also been linked with Arsenal are is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

The left winger is a brilliant dribbler, completing 2.78 take-ons per 90 last season. The record is better than 94 per cent of the wingers in Europe’s top five leagues, and Tottenham could do with such a player. Bahoya is also Bundesliga’s fastest player, the only player in Bundesliga history to surpass 37km/h since records began. Only three have done it in the Premier League. His all-time record top speed is 37.16 km/h, and having him and Micky van de Ven – whose record is 37.38 km/h – in the team will cause plenty of problems during counterattacks.
