Tottenham Hotspur have been impressed by the development of a 22-year-old left-winger this season, but there may be one roadblock in completing a January deal.
Numerous reliable sources have reported over the past few months that signing a top-class left-winger will be Tottenham’s top priority in January.
That now appears even more likely after Thomas Frank recently hinted that none of his left-wing options have particularly impressed this season.
It has now emerged that a young wide-man, who is turning a lot of heads in Belgian football, has caught the North London club’s eye.

Tottenham plotting move for Anderlecht winger Nilson Angulo
According to TEAMtalk, Anderlecht’s Nilson Angulo is on the radar of several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, ahead of the January window.
The 22-year-old has been one of the best players on show in the Jupiler Pro League this season, and has four goals and eight assists to his name across all competitions.
This has attracted the attention of several big clubs, with Spurs being one of the clubs to have sent scouts to Brussels multiple times to run the rule over Angulo.
However, Manchester United, Brentford, Brighton and Leeds United are also looking closely at the Ecuador international.
Why Spurs may struggle to complete a January deal for Angulo
However, TEAMtalk say that signing the Andrelect man in the mid-season transfer window may be hard for Tottenham and his other Premier League suitors.
This is because Angulo wants to carry his current run of form into the World Cup next summer, and a January transfer might interrupt his progress.
As a result, the wide-man is more likely to leave the Belgian club at the end of this season.
