L’Equipe report that Tottenham Hotspur could soon press ahead with a move for Rennes starlet Desire Doue after seeing the Ligue 1 club turn down Bayern Munich’s bid for the midfielder.
Tottenham are in the race for Desire Doue
Even though Doue has only had one season of regular first-team football under his belt, the youngster has already won admirers across Europe, with the race for the 19-year-old’s signature now heating up.
In fact, The Sun claimed last week that Spurs and Chelsea are keen to finalise a deal to sign the attacking midfielder swiftly while Manchester United are also hot on the youngster’s trail.
Meanwhile, journalist Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport a couple of days ago that both Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on landing the teenager.
Bayern Munich’s failed move for Desire Doue
According to L’Equipe’s latest update, it is Bayern who have made the first move for the France Under-21 international, having launched an offer.
However, it is revealed that the Bavarian side submitted a bid of around £31m, which was swiftly sent back by Rennes.
The report adds that the Bundesliga giants’ failed offer could spark the likes of Spurs, PSG and Chelsea into action over the coming days.
Spurs Web Opinion
One gets the feeling that Tottenham have identified Doue as a backup to Eze, who remains Ange’s number one priority.
Unless Spurs feel they are going to miss out on the Palace star, they are unlikely to launch a bid for the Frenchman.
