A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have been commenting on Twitter about the report linking Spurs with United States prodigy Taylor Booth and brother Zach.

The Daily Mail has claimed that the American youngsters are both targets for Tottenham this summer as the North Londoners look to invest in young talent.

Taylor, a member of Bayern Munich’s Under-19s, was in UEFA Youth League action against Tottenham in December, putting in a great performance as they ran out 3-0 winners over Spurs.

Jose Mourinho’s coaches were reportedly impressed by the 18-year-old midfielder’s exploits on the day, the United States Under-19s international providing two assists for the Bundesliga giants.

As for 16-year-old Zach, he is currently playing for Taylor’s former club Real Salt Lake, and although the likes of Leicester City, Norwich, and Fulham remain keen on the young midfielder, he reportedly had a trial at Tottenham before Christmas, and Spurs remain keen.

With the entire football industry likely to be hit hard financially by the global health crisis, many clubs will probably be unable to spend big money on established stars, instead looking at young prodigies they can develop into first-team players.
