GiveMeSport (via Mick Brown) relays the information in an exclusive report, suggesting Spurs’ interest in genuine, especially with Postecoglou’s desire for dynamic midfielders.
Value (4/5): High stakes investment
£70m is a hefty sum for a player unproven at the Premier League level, although Bellingham’s potential is undeniable.
Suitability (4/5): Apt for Postecoglou’s high-octane system
Bellingham’s ability to break the lines and press with intensity matches Spurs’ aggressive, possession-based approach. Moreover, his experience in the Championship directly complements the Premier League’s style of play.
Upgrade (3.5/5): Future PL star
Like his brother did with Birmingham and Dortmund before moving to Madrid, Bellingham has already shown promise beyond his years. Acquiring him would mean the addition of young blood with the ability to function in various midfield roles.
Logic (4/5): A stepping stone
Moving to Spurs might deliver Bellingham the stepping stone needed to excel and develop further at the highest levels of football, potentially following in his brother’s footsteps.
Whisper+ Verdict: 19/25
