Unproven Sander Berge is the last man Tottenham and Fulham should target

According to reports in the Express, both Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham are interested in signing KRC Genk’s Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge in January.

The 20-year-old is undoubtedly an impressive talent, yet with Spurs and Fulham both seeking instant success for the second half of the Premier League season, a rumoured £15 million swoop for Berge appears misguided.

The midfielder has shown great promise for both Norway and at club level, registering 12 caps and playing a role in 11 of Genk’s 15 league matches this campaign.

Yet Berge still does not have a full season of top-flight starts in Belgium under his belt and has never played in England before.

Tottenham will be searching for proven stars to make certain the club secures Champions League football next season, and Fulham will need players with Premier League experience to stave off relegation under Claudio Ranieri.

Although Berge has the potential to be a defensive midfield star, the January transfer window is not the right time to purchase the youngster, due to an inflated price and the lack of playing time that would await him.

Tottenham and Fulham would do well to hold off on buying Sander Berge this January, as a more reasonable transfer in the summer would make more sense for all parties involved.
