A former Norwich City man is rated very highly at Tottenham and is moving near the top of the club’s January shopping list.
Spurs are thought to be eyeing a move for several ambitious wide-forwards, with the Lilywhites said to be keen on making a statement signing this month.
However, Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a young Greek winger, who would be an unfamiliar name for many supporters.
It first emerged back in November that Spurs are assessing a move for Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, and it has now emerged that the 23-year-old has some big fans at the North London club.
Tottenham staff want club to prioritise signing Christos Tzolis
A new report in TEAMtalk has revealed that Tzolis is ‘hugely respected’ by the Spurs analytics and scouting department.
The report says that while Tottenham are continuing to eye moves for high-profile names such as Savinho and Maghnes Akliouche, the Club Brugge man is also high up on their wishlist.
In fact, the club’s recruitment team rates Tzolis very highly, with Spurs’ analytical staff and a high-ranking scout believing that the Greek star should be their priority target.
The outlet added that the North London club have been watching the 23-year-old regularly over the last few months.
How much would Spurs have to pay for Tzolis?
The former Norwich City man has made impressive progress since leaving Fortuna Düsseldorf for Brugge in 2024.
Tzolis finished last season with 21 goals and 16 assists, and he has already notched up 11 goals and 15 assists this term across all competitions.
TEAMtalk say that his outstanding numbers have seen the winger’s value skyrocket, with Burgge wanting ‘at least’ €40m (£35m) for their talisman.
That means that Spurs could land Tzolis with the fee that they got from Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace.
