Tottenham prospect Thimothee Lo-Tutala is reportedly attracting interest from a number of different overseas clubs ahead of this summer.

According to Foot Mercato, “big clubs” in both France and Holland are keen on a potential swoop for the 18-year-old Spurs talent.

The report explains that Ligue 1 and Eredivisie teams are looking at the youngster, who is already being eyed for a potential international call-up to France’s youth set-up.

Lo-Tutala, 18, is a highly-rated goalkeeper that has captained Spurs’ Under-18s side this season.

The French teenager has mainly been part of the Under-18s age group, but was on the bench recently for the Under-23s team in Premier League 2 fixtures.

TBR’s View:

With Lo-Tutala earning rave reviews already at such a young age, it’ll be interesting to see if Spurs move to block any potential interest in his signature.

If the youngster is good enough, perhaps the north London club should consider a potential loan move next season to try help fast-track him for the senior squad.

It’s been proven in recent years that there is a depth of talent coming through the youth ranks in the club’s glittering academy, and current senior talisman Harry Kane is proof that the loan system can be extremely effective when used correctly.
