Newcastle and Tottenham are interested in signing the Leeds United young player.
Due to his outstanding performances in the current season, two Premier League teams, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, are reportedly interested in 16-year-old midfielder Ollie Pickles, according to talkSPORT.
Pickles has gained attention because to his outstanding performances, most notably his role in advancing Leeds United to the FA Youth Cup semifinals. Tottenham and Newcastle are rumored to be considering adding him to their teams.
Tottenham’s policy of investing in talented young players is shown in their interest in the budding star.
Spurs have signed a number of young players in recent months, including Ashley Phillips, Alejo Veliz, Luka Vuskovic, and Lucas Bergvall, since Ange Postecoglou took over.
According to reports, they will also try again to sign Antonio Nusa, whose attempted transfer to Brentford in January was thwarted.
It is anticipated that these acquisitions will be vital to the team’s goals under Ange Postecoglou.
Pickles has drawn the attention of Newcastle’s scouting team, who are likewise keen to bolster their roster with youthful talent.
The young player has been compared to Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, a midfielder who also played at Elland Road before winning a transfer to Etihad, because of his serene presence on the ball and exceptional passing range.
Tottenham and Newcastle are vying for Pickles’ signature, and Leeds United must decide how to hold onto one of their best prospects in the face of increasing interest from elite teams.
In the upcoming months, we’ll find out where Pickles’ bright professional path takes him and which Premier League team will sign him long-term.
