Tottenham in talks over international striker: Euro club also interested
TOTTENHAM have reportedly opened negotiations with Basel over Breel Embolo.
Embolo is the target for a number of different clubs this summer
Embolo joined Basel from Swiss rivals Old Boys in 2010 at the age of 13 and was handed his first professional deal four years later.
And he quickly made an impact with the club, scoring on his league debut against Aarau.
Embolo scored his first goal in the Champions League in the same year and has now established himself as a first-team regular.
The youngster already has nine caps to his name and scored his first goal for his country in October.
And if the teenager is included, it could accelerate Spurs' pursuit to avoid being gazumped by any other side.
