Reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Watford’s young talent, Adrian Blake. The 17-year-old winger has already featured twice for the Hornets’ first team this season and has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.
Blake, who was born in London, has been with Watford’s academy since he was seven years old. He has played twice in the FA Youth Cup this season, scoring once and registering two assists. According to the Mail Online, Tottenham are among the top-flight sides vying for his signature.
Tottenham will be looking to improve their squad in the summer as they try to catch up with their North London rivals, Arsenal. Antonio Conte has had a mixed season in charge of Spurs and could require big reinforcements in the summer with rumours still swirling about the future of Harry Kane.
Blake made his debut for Watford earlier this season in the League Cup where he featured for 17 minutes against MK Dons in a 2-0 defeat. Although he is yet to make his professional league debut, he is a highly rated prospect at the London club. The winger is out of contract at Vicarage Road in the summer and could be tempted by a move to the Premier League with Spurs.
Tottenham will also be looking elsewhere in the hopes of backing Conte’s side in the summer. They have been linked with a move to bring back former player Marcus Edwards from Sporting Lisbon in a bid to add attacking depth to the side.
Currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League, Tottenham will face Everton in their next game after the international break. However, they will need to fight off stiff competition if they want to secure the services of Adrian Blake.
