Tottenham join West Ham in Charles De Ketelaere race
Antonio Conte will try to ‘snatch’ the 20-year-old from Club Brugge in January according to a report from Calcio Mercato.
That is an obvious blow to West Ham’s hopes of signing him.
The Belgian ace is comfortable playing anywhere along the front-line. He has exceptional technique and is very quick along the ground.
The youngster was described as an attacker with ‘fantastic trickery’ by Eurosport.
The two-capped Belgium international has been in fine form for Club Brugge so far this season, bagging five goals and four assists in 19 games (Transfermarkt).
The 20-year-old is available for around £21 million according to a report from Goal.
That would represent superb value for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
As things stand, there seemingly could be a real tussle for his signature between West Ham and Tottenham.
