Tottenham interested in signing Amir Richardson

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Reims midfielder Amir Richardson.

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Tottenham have been keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old midfielder and they could step up their efforts to sign him this summer. The highly-rated defensive midfielder has impressed with his performances in Ligue 1 and it appears that Tottenham are willing to offer him an exit route.

Tottenham need to improve their midfield options this summer and it is no surprise that they are looking at the talented young Moroccan midfielder. Richardson has the potential to develop into a quality player and he could be a useful addition to Tottenham. The North London club need to bring in a quality defensive midfielder following the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Amir Richardson reportedly wants to move to Tottenham

The Moroccan under-23 international will be tempted to join a big club like Tottenham and that would be a big step forward in his career. He would be able to test himself at the highest level and playing regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him realise his enormous potential.

Reims paid €2 million for the player when they signed him from Le Havre in 2022. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sanction his departure for a reasonable fee this summer. Tottenham will not want to pay too much. They will also need to strengthen other parts of their squad.

The North London club will be competing in the Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad to thrive in multiple competitions. The 22-year-old would be a useful option and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get the deal done.

The 22-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience and could develop into a key player for the club in the long term.
