Tottenham Join Race for Teenage Sensation
Tottenham Hotspur are the latest club to join the race to sign exciting young Southampton starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, according to reports on Talksport.
In the last month both Arsenal and Liverpool had sent scouts to the south coast to assess the talented winger who has caused a stir in League One with a number of impressive displays.
The 17-year-old has helped Southampton climb to second in the league starting nine matches and helping himself to four goals as well as three assists.
With the ability to play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder, Oxlade-Chamberlain has drawn comparisons to two former Southampton wide men who have both carved out successful careers with Premiership clubs.
Both Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale started their careers at St. Mary's before sealing moves to north London. Now it seems as though Oxlade-Chamberlain could follow in the Bale's footsteps and opt for White Hart Lane.
Having come through the Southampton academy, the exciting prospect made his league debut last season at just 16 years and 199 days and soon established himself as an important member of the first team squad.
Southampton are desperate to hang on to the pacy winger and would not want to lose him during the current transfer window. However, they are aware that it is just a matter of time before a big club makes an offer that will be impossible to turn down.
Sportsvibe exclusively revealed that Liverpool representatives had sent a positive report back to Anfield in December and were hoping to secure the youngsters signature this month.
However, Spurs stepped up their interest by sending scouts to watch Oxlade-Chamberlain in action against Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday and may now attempt to lure the winger to London.
Spurs have a good record of giving young players the chance to shine with both Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale handed plenty of first team experience at relatively young ages.
