Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly intensifying their scouting of Eintracht Frankfurt’s rising star Can Uzun, as the club prepares a potential €80 million (£67m) bid for the Turkish international.
The 20-year-old forward has become one of the most talked-about talents in the Bundesliga this season, following a string of sensational performances for Frankfurt. According to Caught Offside, Uzun’s name has “gained significant traction” within the corridors of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with manager Ange Postecoglou reportedly keen on adding more dynamism and versatility to his front line.
A Versatile Attacking Asset
What makes Uzun particularly attractive to Spurs is his ability to operate in multiple offensive roles. Whether playing as a creative “Number 10,” a second striker, or even on the wing, the Turkish youngster has proven to be a consistent threat.
This season alone, Uzun has been directly involved in 12 goals across all competitions, a statistic that has also alerted the recruitment teams at Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
Balancing the Books: The €80m Question
While Tottenham are enamored with Uzun’s technical potential, the reported €80 million price tag demands a strategic approach from the board. Chairman Daniel Levy is known for his careful financial planning, and with other areas of the squad also requiring investment, Spurs must decide if the Frankfurt star is their absolute priority for the summer window.
However, with the competition heating up in the Premier League, waiting too long could see Uzun’s value rise even further or lead to a rival club triggering a move first.
Why Spurs?
Postecoglou’s high-intensity, attacking philosophy seems perfectly suited for a player of Uzun’s profile. The internal assessment at the club suggests that Uzun would provide the “creative spark” needed to unlock stubborn defenses a quality that has been missing in certain key fixtures this term. As the European season enters its decisive phase, Tottenham scouts are expected to be present at every Frankfurt game to finalize their report on the Turkish prodigy.
