Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a move for FC Copenhagen midfielder Robert Skov, according to Sky Sports News.
Spurs are one of a number of Premier League clubs currently watching the 22-year-old, along with the likes of Wolves, West Ham and Watford.
What’s the word?
Skov, a Denmark Under-21 international, has enjoyed a remarkably prolific campaign in his native country thus far this season.
Playing as a right winger, he has scored 24 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions and has also laid on six assists.
That tally includes the winner in Copenhagen’s only Europa League victory this season, a 2-1 success over Bordeaux.
Sky Sports News report that Spurs are keen to recruit a versatile attacking player who can support Harry Kane from the flank, and have subsequently identified Skov as a potential target.
The 22-year-old, who is yet to make his senior debut for Denmark, has only been with his current club for a season, having cost them just under £1million last summer, per the aforementioned report.
A gamble
Spurs definitely need a right winger this summer but recruiting Skov would be a gamble.
Copenhagen are almost guaranteed to turn a tidy profit on the player, with Premier League clubs circling.
It would mark a significant show of faith, however, if Spurs were to secure a player from the Danish top-flight.
Vincent Janssen is perhaps the example. Having scored 32 goals and laid on seven assists in just 49 appearances for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, the north London outfit identified him as the perfect man to offer support to Kane.
Instead, he has scored just six times for the club and is almost certain to leave in the summer.
Spurs had better tread carefully around Skov, then.
