Spurs Watch Charlton's Lookman Again

Spurs watch Charlton's Lookman again. Tottenham have been linked with him before and we continue to watch the progress of 18-year-old (19 in October) striker Ademola Lookman at Charlton Athletic.

He is a forward who becomes a little more interesting with the relegation of Charlton to League One, a long way from the days when they were top flight regulars under Alan Curbishley. Both Spurs and Arsenal sent scouts to see him play recently against Derby County while Liverpool watched him against Bolton Wanderers.

Crystal Palace are known to be interested also and reports in February suggested Charlton would be happy to sell this summer, despite a new contract.

Charlton negotiated a new four-year deal in February until 2020, but it is thought only to protect their financial interests and gain maximum value from a transfer. Arsenal it seems are the favourites to capture his signature according to latest reports.

We know to our cost and benefit that nothing is settled until a piece of paper is signed, Willian went to Chelsea after a medical with us and Liverpool thought Dele Alli was going to join them before Mauricio Pochettino made it adamant he wanted Alli whatever the cost. He was certainly proved right on that one.

He is one of a number of players we will continue to keep an eye on. David Pleat was doing the honours for us while Arsenal had Academy chief Liam Brady there to watch, Harry Redknapp was in aattendance
