Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Tottenham Hotspur may attack Leicester City once more in an attempt to recruit gifted young player Kasey McAteer, but the Foxes will probably want to hang onto him for the time being.
Spurs previously took advantage of Leicester City’s summertime relegation from the Premier League to recruit James Maddison, who was a standout addition for Ange Postecoglou’s team prior to his injury in November.
The Championship club, on the other hand, appears set to return to the Premier League at the earliest opportunity since they are now soaring high.
The fact that the Foxes have been able to let younger players to thrive—something Kasey McAteer has done—is one benefit of moving down a division. Prior to suffering an injury, the 22-year-old scored five goals in his first 15 games this season (Transfermarkt).
Spurs want Kasey McAteer from Leicester City
It is no surprise that bigger clubs are monitoring McAteer’s situation, and now, Ben Jacobs has told the Spurs Chat Podcast that the Leicester attacker is on Tottenham’s radar, though we shouldn’t expect a transfer any time soon.
Jacobs said: “The other player Tottenham are looking at, a different type of player to the ones we have mentioned is Kasey McAteer at Leicester, they really like him.
“He started well for Leicester, but then he got an injury, with Leicester flying they’re likely to get promotion to the Premier League. I’m not sure anything is possible there in 2024 just because he’s in the right place for his development.”
Spurs Web Opinion
At the start of the season, McAteer was at the heart of everything for Leicester and really made an impression with his goal against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. He is exactly the kind of profile of player Spurs are looking at these days, but I wouldn’t expect a move right now while Leicester are pushing for promotion.
