Tottenham ‘keeping tabs’ on Ligue 1 midfielder

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping a close eye on Reims midfielder Amir Richardson, who is currently representing Morocco at the Olympics.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Reims midfielder Amir Richardson.
Spurs have made three new additions in the summer transfer window, recruiting midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall from Leeds United and Djurgarden respectively.

They have also announced the signing of 18-year-old Yang Min-hyeok, who will officially arrive from Gangwon FC in January 2025.

While Gray and Bergvall both operate in the middle of the park, Spurs are still open to signing another midfielder following the recent departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Spurs considering Richardson move

According to Foot Mercato, Tottenham have added Reims’ Richardson to their shortlist of potential midfield targets.

Having identified Richardson as a potential target, Spurs have kept a close eye on his performances for Morocco at the 2024 Olympics.

The 22-year-old has started each of Morocco’s four matches at the tournament, contributing with a goal in the 3-0 win over Iraq in the group stage.

Richardson played 80 minutes of Friday’s 4-0 demolition of the USA, helping his nation set up a semi-final clash against Spain on Monday.

What about Richardson’s club career?
After spending time in Nice’s youth system, Richardson went on to join Le Havre’s academy setup in 2019 before he broke into the first team in the 2021-22 campaign.

Richardson completed a €2m (£1.7m) move to Reims in the summer of 2022, before he was immediately loaned back to Le Havre to help win promotion from Ligue 2.

After returning from his successful loan spell, the midfielder integrated into the Reims squad for the 2023-24 season, contributing three goals and one assist in 28 league appearances.

Although he only made 14 league starts last term, Reims will still be keen to retain the services of a highly-rated talent, who is currently under contract until the summer of 2027.
