Tottenham are reportedly showing an interest in New England Revolution midfielder Noel Buck, who is also an England youth international.

The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in MLS, with Buck a regular for the Revs last season as the midfielder also broke into the Three Lions’ set-up at U-19 level.

Praised by former Aston Villa winger and current New England star Carles Gil as a prospect with a ‘brilliant’ future ahead of him, the hype around Buck is very real in the United States.

And according to Football London, Tottenham are showing an interest in the Massachusetts talent, with other Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Buck.

With the teenager already an England youth international, there’s a good chance that Buck could be an attainable signing for Tottenham this year.

And with the 2024 MLS season about to kick off, there’s every chance that Buck’s development can hit new heights, especially if the midfielder faces off against the likes of Lionel Messi.

The quality of MLS academy products has never been higher, with Buck set to become the latest graduate to make the move to Europe in the next 12 months.

And for Tottenham, they could face a real battle in the summer to sign Buck, especially if the midfielder continues on his current development curve.

With Premier League clubs already taking an interest in the 18-year-old, Tottenham could have their work cut out in their bid to sign Buck.

And with first-team football far from guaranteed, it could take some luck to beat rival clubs in the interesting race to sign Buck this year.
