# Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs set to battle two clubs for Wahid Faghir

**According to recent reports, Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Vejle BK centre-forward Wahid Faghir this summer.**

So far this season, the Danish prospect has hugely impressed over his 22 Superligaen appearances for Constantin Galca’s side, with the 17-year-old bagging [five goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wahid-faghir/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/610431/wettbewerb/DK1/saison/2020) and providing [two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wahid-faghir/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/610431/wettbewerb/DK1/saison/2020) in the Danish top flight.

As a result of his impressive performances at such a young age, it has been [previously reported](https://sportslens.com/tottenham-join-leicester-in-the-race-to-sign-wahid-faghir/343249/) that clubs such as Leicester City and Ajax are keen on a move for the Denmark under-21 international this summer. According to The Sunday Mirror (print edition, page 75; via [Sportslens](https://sportslens.com/tottenham-join-leicester-in-the-race-to-sign-wahid-faghir/343249/)), Tottenham have now also taken a shining to the striker.

According to the [reports](https://sportslens.com/tottenham-join-leicester-in-the-race-to-sign-wahid-faghir/343249/), Faghir would be interested in a move away from Denmark at the end of the season, with a potential move to Spurs representing a deal which would be “hard to reject” for the 17-year-old.

### Transfer Tavern Take

While Faghir is undoubtedly a player who still has much developing to do as a footballer, the fact the 17-year-old already has 36 league appearances under his belt, over which he has scored [eight goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wahid-faghir/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/610431) and has registered [four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wahid-faghir/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/610431), would appear to bode extremely well for his future in the game.

Also, considering that [Faghir has been dubbed](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10730255/leicester-transfer-wahid-faghir-ibrahimovic/) “the next Zlatan Ibrahimovic”, it would very much seem that, if Daniel Levy can indeed go on to secure a deal to land the striker this summer, Spurs could well have a future star on their hands.
