Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly scouted the Brent defender Bradley Locko earlier this week.

According to Football Insider, the North London club sent scouts to watch the player in action on Friday against Reims. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal at the end of the season.

The French fullback has a contract with Brest until 2027 and he’s unlikely to be available for cheap. It would be quite surprising if Tottenham decided to break the bank for him in the coming weeks.

They have players like Destiny Udogie, Ben Davies, and Ryan Sessegnon at their disposal. They should look to concentrate on improving the central defence instead.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old French defender will be tempted to join a big club in the summer and the opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him.

Spurs are a big club and they have an exciting project. They have impressed with their free-flowing attacking approach this season and it remains to be seen whether they can secure Champions League qualification for the next season. If they manage to finish in the top four, they will be an attractive destination for most players.

Spurs have the financial resources to sign the 22-year-old defender and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. Tottenham are not only only English club keen on the player and they will face competition from clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool as well.

It will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition from their Premier League rivals and sign the defender at the end of the season. There is no doubt that he has the quality to compete in English football, but he might struggle for regular game time at Tottenham. At this stage of his career, he should prioritise playing regularly instead of joining a big club and sitting on the bench.
