Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur get ready to battle it out with a number of fellow rivals from the Premier League as well as the Championship for Sheffield United’s exciting young talent – David Brooks. A host of top-flight clubs are apparently chasing Brooks, who has been one of the most exciting players in the Championship this season. The Warrington-born starlet’s man-of-the-match performance on his full debut for Wales against Panama in Cardiff last Tuesday has convinced Spurs to plan a swoop in January.
The Welsh youngster will no doubt have many options to choose from as he moves closer to a potential transfer away from the Bramall Lane this January. There are a lot of impressive traits which gives out the reason as to why he has been such a success in the English second tier this season.
Good on the ball, David Brooks likes to set up the tempo of the game, with some neat passing and fluidic movements. Much like Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, Brooks can easily facilitate the central areas of the pitch by using his exceptional passing range. He is someone, who likes to drill passes into the dangerous zones but also has an awareness of not being too predictable.
Although there are a lot of potential suitors available, Tottenham Hotspur could be the ideal place for David Brooks.
The Lilywhites are, in fact, looking for a creative central midfielder and David Brooks can be a sensational alternative, should they miss out on Ross Barkley in the January transfer window.
The midfielder partnership of Eric Dier and Moussa Dembele or Victor Wanyama has remained very resolute. However, the presence of two defensive-minded midfielders kind of prevents Spurs from having much variety in the middle third, meaning the Lilywhites could be greatly aided by the arrival of David Brooks, who has the ability to constantly circulate the ball as well as injecting some creative influence on the game.
Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino is known for his ability to nurture talents into world class footballers and he’s been doing that on a consistent basis, especially since moving to Tottenham in 2014.
Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Harry Kane have all benefitted from the Argentine’s extremely impressive skill of transforming a raw talent into a proper player, which fits perfectly in his highly resolute tactical philosophy.
Made no mistake, the highly talented 20-year-old Welsh midfielder will be in good hands of Mauricio Pochettino should he opt to move to Tottenham.
