Spurs among sides now most keen on midfielder Woodgate labelled ‘outstanding’; but Liverpool also keen
Tottenham Hotspur are one of the teams most interested in signing Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough next summer, but Liverpool could look to rival them.
That is according to a report 🌠from the , which notes that a number of scouts from top-flight clubs have been to l💮ook at the 21-year-old this season.
Hayden Ha♌ckney has established himself as one of the most imprꩲessive central midfielders in the Championship. He has been a mainstay of the Boro side since making his debut in 2021.
Tottenham and Liverpool want Hayden Hackney
Middlesbrough hope to keep the youngster beyond the January transfer window. But the Da🤪ily Mail reports that they are resigned to losing Hackney in the summer should they faiꦦl to seal promotion.
Certainly, a number of Premier League t🐲eams are lurking; ready to offer him the chance to step up should Michael Carrick’s side miss out on going up this season.
The reports that Tottenham are one of the teams showing the most interest. Meanwhile, their sources suggest t💃hat Liverpool could be Spurs’ biggest rival for his signature.
Manchester City and Manchester United are also monitoring his development. And Nottingham Forest could apparently test M🍌iddlesbrough’s resolve to keep him in January.
Spurs need greater depth in midfield
Ange Postecoglou putting together Yves Bissouma and 🐟Pape Matꦡar Sarr has proved to be a masterstroke this season. The pair have been exceptional.
However, depth is an issue for Tottenham. They will lose both Bissouma and Sarr to AFCON 2023 in the new year. And it does appear that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is not as naturally suited to Postecoglou’s style, and could potentially leave. Oliver Skipp meanwhile, needs to kick on if 🧸he is going to be a mainstay in the years to come.
Former Spurs defender Jonathan 🤪Woodgate suggested that Hackney is an ‘‘ talent. And clearly, his list of admirers tells its own story.
So 𓄧it may be a c🐟oup if Tottenham do end up winning the race for his signature next summer.
