'Tottenham Centerback full of talent'Miki Panderpen (24) left Tottenham this summer and hoped to join Real Madrid, according to reports.
Mick Brown, who worked as a senior scout for Manchester United and Blackburn as a former scout for Tottenham and is still close to his former teams, said in an exclusive interview released by British media Football Insider on the 16th (Korea time) that Real Madrid scouts are watching Panderpen's moves this season.
The comments came shortly after Panderpen's agent hinted at a possible move from Tottenham soon. Van der Pen's agent told Spanish media Marca that `Mickey also has the ability to play for big clubs like Real Madrid one day. In addition, Madrid needs a player with that talent. Due to Van der Pen's injury this season, Tottenham scored the first goal but lost a point, failed to bring a victory even after scoring many goals, and suffered the humiliation of falling to 15th place in the league.
Football Insider exclusively reported in February that Liverpool is eyeing Panderpen as his partner along with Virgil van Dijk Remain, adding to the rumor of signing Real Madrid. Brown had previously told Football Insider that Real Madrid wanted to sign a new centre-back this summer with links to William Saliba, Virgil van Dijk and Christian Romero.
Brown, who has worked for more than a decade during United's most successful years and has extensive experience in recruiting top-notch players, says Spain's big scouts are looking for Premier League players and that "Panderpen's agent is strongly pushing for a move to Real Madrid." he tipped off.
"The biggest problem in football at the moment is what the agent knows about football and can tell Real Madrid what it needs," he added. "If that happens, Panderpen will suit them, but it's not up to the agent to decide" he drew the line. "Real Madrid wants a centre-back and is considering a number of options. Many of the options are in the Premier League, and we've talked about Christian Romero before. There is no doubt that Panderpen is on their radar because the scouts have watched the Tottenham game." "If Real Madrid call him, he'll want to go. Because a player who has had a tough season like Panderpen will find it difficult to refuse a move to Real Madrid." "I'm not sure that Panderpen will be Real Madrid's first choice given the injury issue, but at the moment, it's a situation that has to be watched"
Panderpen is not the only Tottenham prospect who is considered to be a transfer along with Tottenham's sluggishness. Brown said in an interview with Football Insider on the 8th that Dejan Kulusevski is willing to leave Tottenham with the attention of Napoli and AC Milan. Tottenham, however, recognize 'attacking talent'Kulusevski as an important part of their future plans and are reluctant to let him go this summer. Brown told Football Insider that Tottenham would demand a 'tremendous' transfer fee as they are keeping an eye on Kulusevski's situation.
