Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made their first move to sign highly-rated Anderlecht Nigerian winger Paul Mukairu this summer.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is expected to be active in the summer market, after a disappointing season so far for the north London side.
And according to media outlet Voetbal24 (as cited by Sport Witness) Mourinho is keen on landing the 21-year-old.
Mukairu has only been with Anderlecht since the summer, having arrived on loan from Turkish side Antalyaspor.
Clubs like Roma and Bayer Leverkusen have already shown an interest in the player, but Spurs are considered frontrunners.
The report adds that Tottenham are willing to pay ‘over €5m’ for the youngster.
Mukairu has scored four goals and provided four assists in 20 appearances for Anderlecht. The Belgian side have an option to buy for €2.5m.

Meanwhile, Nigeria continue to look like teddy bear.
This is a name a few of us have been talking about for months here in this forum.
If big clubs around Europe are taking notice, Nigeria should be doing the same.
@pompey thanks for your observations, i have long wanted to play this casset. supereagles under rohr sometimes are very slow in observations they will never see a player we the fans easily sees or feels, (unless the player is called otabor) i noticed this in 2018 when kalu was in form in belgium and sadiq wasnt doing bad in holand, immediately simon got injured prio to wcup, a smart scouting crew should have drafted kalu into that wcup team and sadiq being an olympic top scorer a smart coach will see that he is a turnament material, and he deserve a look. also in the case of dropping aina for echiejile was funny, even when abdulahi was already nursing injury. Gernot rohr will always want a european team or coach to indirectly select players for him. Westerhof didnt work with that gbon gben tar formula. A coach must know what they want, and if a coach select 23 players into a turnament and fails to make necesary changes in the curse of important games it shows that the coach dont know nothing. He parades player that have respect, same respect issues that his fans always complain about africa guadiolas is what their gaffer is now craving for(abi dem don nigerialise am?), they think the colour of a man makes them imune to pride and respect.
The supereagles need a coach with an eagles vision. Not a bambiala.
U and omo9ja should assist rohr with scouting duties as people wey get eyes then…. No need for your long boring epistles. U can send an application to the nff office in Abuja for speedy consideration.
@Oakfield, I was even thinking we should appoint him as our technical adviser to Rohr since he knows better so that we can win the next world cup
After reasoning that interview overnight i realise that gernot rohr is not just a stupid coach he is indeed a stupid man, old foolish white pig, bringing an entire continent down and politicaly praising the europeans that never employed him for over 20 years. That response is not just unecesary like some of us are decorating it, its indeed an insult to us (your employers) from a common employee(europe will sack u overnight over that statement) expecialy coming from a failure of rohr kinds. belgium kill patrickmolumba over a justful statement and since that time congo never ramains thesame.
This man see us finish, its like a school teacher that is well paid and pampered telling the owner of the school that it will take a miracle for the student to pass exams, the question is what are you then be paid to do, to come and be enjoying where you are a novice?
Hahahaha….ngwa tell us when Africa will win the world cup Na…..Abi….LMAO. Fight nor dey dia, Just simply tell Rohr he is lying….. Africa will win this or that edition of the world cup that will be held in so so year.

Germany started preparing for the 2014 world cup after 2006 world cup. France started preparing for the 2018 in 2011. Argentina started preparing for 2010&2014 world cups in 2001. USA has started preparing for 2026 world cup by developing quality world class youngsters and shipping them to top clubs in Europe, the Chelseas, Dortmunds, Leverkusens, Barcelonas of this world.

Age cheat nor fit help us for this one….LMAO….if Na U-something now, you go see 2 African teams for final sef…. LMAO.
@Collins id, you fall my hand o with your comment above. Why do Nigerians hate the truth with so much passion? The truth is bitter but that’s why Oyinbo ppl are progressing because they speak the truth and worked hard for success. While Africans are retrogressing all the time because they always love and follow person whey day lie to them. See yourself now, Nigeria is wallowing in extreme poverty, social insecurity, massive unemployment, Fulani insurgence etc. today simply because we always vote for the Politician who emerge as best liar.
Rohr simply spoke the Gospel truth but Nigerians cannot stomach it, you think say GR send you guys?
