Tottenham Hotspur are in the picture to sign Hertha Berlin youngster Boris Mamuzah Lum, according to Bild.
The 17-year-old came up through the ranks of the German club’s youth system and made his senior debut against SV Elversberg at the weekend.
Bild say he became Hertha Berlin’s youngest player at 16 years and 363 days.
The Germany U18 international can operate as a defensive midfielder, in the middle of the pitch and also as a right-back. This hasn’t gone unnoticed as several top clubs, including Tottenham, have been ‘interested in him for a long time’.
It’s claimed that at ‘Tottenham’s invitation’, Boris Mamuzah Lum has visited their training facilities and attended three home games. This would suggest the north London club have a concrete interest in him.
Boris Mamuzah Lum is managed by British agency CAA Stellar. This may give the Premier League sides an advantage over other clubs.
His deal lasts until 2026, with an option for another year. Bild state it has a €5m release clause, which should be affordable for Tottenham.
