OPINION
Tottenham are looking to spend money this summer and Pochettino has previously said that he’d only sign players who would improve his side. Van de Beek is a player who would do just that, especially if Christian Eriksen leaves this summer. The attacking sensation been involved in 30 goals this season – scoring 17 and adding 13 assists – and Spurs know all about him after he scored against them in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The 22-year-old Netherlands international is exactly the sort of player who would slot straight into the Spurs set-up. He’s young, has his best years ahead of him and is already at top Premier League level. Under Pochettino he could go on to be a real world star. It was reported before the £43million would get the job done this summer but with Man United possibly in the frame too, that could be heading upwards and that could be a potential problem for Tottenham.
