# Tottenham: Nile John ‘attracting interest’ from several clubs

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) midfielder Nile John is ‘attracting interest’ from several clubs ahead of 2023, according to journalist Alasdair Gold.**

### The Lowdown: John profiled

The Lilywhites starlet has worked his way up through the ranks in N17 and was handed his [senior debut](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/brighton-nile-john-tottenham-conte-25538265) under Jose Mourinho, going on to [feature](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/brighton-nile-john-tottenham-conte-25538265) under Nuno Espirito Santo later in 2021.

The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season [on loan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nile-john/transfers/spieler/581683) at Charlton after failing to make an impression on Antonio Conte, and with his contract set to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nile-john/profil/spieler/581683) at the end of the campaign, an exit from the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) giants could soon be on the cards.

### The Latest: Gold’s update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1593274544298541056?s=46&t=Cx68G0zm_LH5hGo5Ni7EFQ), Gold revealed that John is currently the subject of attention from a number of clubs overseas, alongside one much closer to home.

He wrote: “Understand Nile John is attracting interest from Brighton and teams abroad.”

Expanding in his article for [Football.London](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/brighton-nile-john-tottenham-conte-25538265), the journalist claimed that Basel and Cercle Brugge are ‘keeping a close eye’ on John’s situation, and whilst a new deal for the teenager has been ‘tabled’, the lack of a pathway into the first team has left young players wanting to ‘take stock’.

### The Verdict: Time to cash in

Tottenham’s senior squad have had a rather successful start to 2022/23, with little room for the academy players to be given the chance to make an impact, which is why the club should cash in on a young talent like John.

The Londoner has been dubbed ‘[quality](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1416410786239586304?s=46&t=Jdkg5KIw1GQ6OgwWBFirAA)’ by Gold himself and has scored eight goals and provided four assists in [45](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nile-john/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/581683) appearances for Spurs’ under-21s, form which could put a respectable price tag on his head.

Dilan Markanday and Kion Etete were just two of the youth prospects who [left](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/brighton-nile-john-tottenham-conte-25538265) Tottenham last season to make a name for themselves elsewhere, and it might not be long before we see John following in their footsteps.
