The 20-year-old could develop into a key player in the Premier League with the right guidance. Tottenham would certainly benefit from his arrival. The right-back could compete with Pedro Porro for the starting spot next season and he has the potential to develop into a key player for the club.
The reported €30 million asking price could be justified in the long term if the talented young defender manages to fulfil his potential with the London club.
