Tottenham Hotspur could look to capitalise in the transfer market once again when it reopens in just under three months time with exciting claims already starting to emerge.

According to Football.London, who cite unnamed reports, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing an audacious triple swoop in January which includes a move for Stade Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga.

It's not the first time that the 17-year-old French starlet has been linked with a move to N17 - the Daily Mail claimed in August 2019 that the north London outfit were one of three clubs in the hunt to land him. They have even sent scouts to watch him.

Despite adding a defensive midfielder in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer, it does make sense to have further strength in depth as the Danish powerhouse is the only true option in the role now that Eric Dier is at centre-back.

Camavinga is a generational star.

He made his senior debut on the international stage just last month and has had the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich coming to the fray, according to reports in Spain.

Didier Deschamps recently labelled him a "huge talent" following his France call-up.

Having cemented his name down as a regular starter at such a young age, the impressive teenager averaged a whopping 4.2 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 0.8 dribbles per game in Ligue 1 last season, via WhoScored.

Pairing Camavinga with Hojbjerg could prove to be a masterstroke from the Special One - during Chelsea's title-winning campaign in 2004/05, Mourinho had plenty of defensively-minded midfielders to call upon, namely Claude Makelele, who bears massive similarities to the 17-year-old sensation.

That season, there was also Geremi and Alexey Smertin before he signed Michael Essien that summer - they went onto win the Premier League yet again.

As a tireless but all-round ball-winning maestro, he is everything Mourinho could ever dream of, and that much is seen in Paul Pogba's glowing endorsement of him.

"It is a pleasure to see him don the shirt. To score after his first starts, that is honestly wonderful. I was truly happy for him. I only wish him the best and much more. He has everything for that. His future is in his hands. He is very at ease, he is a little dancer. He makes me think a bit about me. He is not a timid person. It is good, because he is confident. He has confidence in his qualities. He is a very good youngster, I like him enormously.”

Camavinga won't come cheap, he's valued at €50m (£45m) by the CIES Football Observatory, but a player of this calibre doesn't come around every day.

A midfield trio involving the French wonderkid, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele would surely be among the best in the world.
