Report: Tottenham are set to make an offer for Championship starlet
Football Insider have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are now plotting an offer for Birmingham City starlet, Rico Browne.
Browne has been thought of very highly for a number of years but the youngster’s development was hampered as a result of a serious injury he suffered towards the end of last season.
However, since returning to fitness, the centre-back has been in sensational form for Birmingham’s Under-21s in the Professional Development League this season, having been given the captain’s armband for the side.
It was Football Insider who reported last week that Manchester United had shown an interest in snapping up the 19-year-old in the summer.
The report added that the defender would ‘jump at the chance’ to move to Old Trafford if Erik Ten Hag’s side can present him with a clear plan for his development.
The same publication has now asserted that the Red Devils could face competition from Spurs for Browne’s services.
According to their latest update, Tottenham, who had failed with an offer for the Birmingham starlet a couple of years ago, are now set to return with a new bid for the centre-back.

One of the main reasons behind Scott Munn’s appointment appears to be to improve the club’s academy set-up so that Paratici (if he is cleared of his charges and resumes his role at Spurs) could concentrate on first-team recruitment.
So, I would not be surprised if we see Tottenham make moves for a number of young, up-and-coming talent from the lower leagues this summer to strengthen their academy ranks.
