AliousWith the transfer window closing soon, Tottenham Hotspur still has time for a few more signings.
Manager Ange Postecoglou aims to secure a Champions League spot, and the club needs to bolster its attacking options to achieve this goal.
Tottenham has been linked with an exciting winger from outside Europe’s top leagues who could compete with Brennan Johnson for a starting position.
Intriguingly, this player shares some similarities with former Spurs star Gareth Bale.
Bale, considered one of Tottenham’s best recent players alongside Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, was known for his technical skill and game-changing abilities.
In his final season at Spurs, Bale contributed to a goal every 1.22 games before his record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid.
The player in question is Andreas Skov Olsen from Club Brugge. Reportedly available for around £25m, Skov Olsen’s playing style is reminiscent of Bale’s.
Data analyst Ben Mattinson notes that the 24-year-old Danish international likes to cut inside on his left foot and shoot from distance, much like Bale did at Tottenham.
Skov Olsen is described as a physical, goal-scoring winger with a deadly left foot.
At 6’2″, he has the physicality to compete in the Premier League.
Comparing Skov Olsen to Johnson, the potential new signing outperforms the current Spurs player statistically.
Last season, Johnson averaged a goal involvement every 2.53 games, while Skov Olsen managed one every 1.47 games, scoring 26 goals and providing 8 assists in 50 appearances for Brugge.
While Skov Olsen isn’t expected to be the next Bale, his impressive form and similarities to the Welsh star make him an attractive prospect for Tottenham’s attacking style under Postecoglou.
