Spurs fans were delighted to hear that the club have reportedly made an offer for Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Dani Olmo.
According to Spanish news outlet L’Esportiu (via Daily Hotspur), Spurs have made an offer for the 21-year-old but will face competition from Barcelona and Chelsea for his signing. Olmo was a key player for Spain in their u’21 Euros win during the summer; earning a place in the team of the tournament for his consistent performances.
Olmo is a product of the famous La Masia academy at Barcelona but left for Croatia in 2014, where he has established himself as a key player in the Zagreb side; with eight goals and seven assists already this season. The youngster recently caught the eye of English fans with a stunning volley against Manchester City in the Champions League and will surely be a name that is regularly mentioned throughout the transfer window.
Would Olmo be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans would clearly love to see their club sign Olmo in January and suspect that he could go straight into their starting line-up.
What do we think?
Olmo is currently valued at £31.5 million by transfermarkt and looks increasingly likely to move to a top European club in the January window according to the report. At 21-years-old, he could be a great player for Spurs in the future but would surely challenge for a first-team spot; having averaged a 7.49 rating for Dinamo in their Champions League games this season.
