Target's Dad won't rule out a Spurs move
2 min read
I have reported previously on a player we are watching in Norway 17-year-old 1.96 m (6ft 5in) midfielder Kristoffer Ajer and that we are close to making an offer for him.
Now his dad admits we are watching his son and doesn't rule out the possibility of a summer move.
The father of Norwegian prodigy Kristoffer Ajer has acknowledged Tottenham's interest in his son and won't rule out a summer transfer. Ajer plays for Start in the Tippeligaen.
The Tippeligaen is the top-tier of Norwegian football contested by 16 teams and the 2015 Tippeligaen is the 71st staging of it. This season it began on 6 April 2015 and has a short summer break in June between 12 July and 26 July, with the season ending on 8 November 2015.
Ajer is having a successful season, scoring 11 goals in 17 goals and is expected to join a big European club. Last year Martin Odegaard joined Real Madrid and has already become a full international, similar things are expected from Ajer.
His father, Tore Ajer, speaking to Dagbladet, says Ajer has similarities to Odegaard but isn't interested in the fuss that surrounded Odegaard's move from Stromsgodset.
His height allied to his skill and finishing ability mark him out as a player to watch and we continue to do so. It seems to be common knowledge that we will be making an offer so clearly we have spoken with his father and discussed the possibility.

"We know that there has been interest from Tottenham. The same is true of Germany, but I won't go into the clubs. But there has been much concrete [interest]. He may well remain at Start for another half or one year.
"You don't grow up overnight - at the same time there is an open transfer window in the summer. We cannot rule out anything. But most teams think long term and have scouts who monitor for a long time. It's not like they take off after a game or two."
