According to a recent report by the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Stade Rennais midfield ace Eduardo Camavinga after his incredible display against Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 last weekend. The same source has also claimed that the North London outfit will face stiff competition from Manchester City and Arsenal in pursuit of the Rennes wonderkid.
The Congolese teen sensation helped his side beat PSG 2-1 on Sunday evening with Spurs scouts in attendance to witness his impressive performance at Roazhon Park (via the Daily Mail). Camavinga put in a commanding shift in midfield and even managed to create one of his team’s goals on the night.
The Miconje born talent came through the youth ranks of Stade Rennais before managing to break out as a first-team starter earlier this year. Camavinga managed to make seven top-flight appearances for the French outfit last season.
Eduardo Camavinga’s Incredible Rise To The Top Of French Football
The Ligue 1 defensive midfielder has now managed to secure a regular starting berth for Julien Stéphan’s side this term. He has already featured in three matches for Rennes this season and has managed to grab one assist across all competitions.
Camavinga is one of the most promising young talents coming out of French football. Hence, it could prove to be a massive coup for Mauricio Pochettino if he can find a way to lure him to North London in the coming years.
At the tender age of 16, the Congolese prospect has already begun to test himself against some of the best players in European football. The Angola-born rising star became the youngest ever player to record an assist in the top tier of France when he delivered an inviting cross before the ball was turned in by Romain Del Castillo against PSG on Sunday.
Is Camavinga A Prospect For The Future?
The acquisition of a player of Camavinga’s incredible potential will undeniably bolster Pochettino’s midfield options at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Ligue 1 sensation is a prospect for the future who can be one of the best players in his position if he can continue improving his game with each year.
Camavinga is already a starter at Roazhon Park so he won’t be fazed by pressure if he decided to make a big switch to play in England. Thus, it makes sense for Spurs to monitor his development as the Congolese whizkid is a star in the making in European football.
