Tottenham Hotspur scouts will be attendance for Sporting CP vs Benfica on Thursday night to watch Morten Hjulmand.

The 24-year-old midfielder will be in action for Sporting and there are set to be a number of English scouts attending the game.

A host of talent will be on display in the Taca de Portugal, but it seems Spurs have their eyes on one specific player.

Tottenham scouting Morten Hjulmand

According to a report by Sport Lens, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle United will all have scouts in attendance on Thursday.

And journalist Dean Jones claims the 24-year-old is a player who is catching the eye of the Lilywhites.

The Danish midfielder has played a huge role in Sporting’s season having already played 34 times ahead of. the game against Benfica.

Spurs will have a keen eye on the player who will be coming up against Portugal’s league leaders in Lisbon.

Midfielders on Tottenham’s radar

Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the summer transfer window are beginning to take shape with a number of targets emerging.

It is believed Conor Gallagher remains a player of interest for the Lilywhites ahead of the summer.

And Everton’s James Garner is another midfielder who has emerged as a potential target for Spurs.

So it would seem as if Spurs are monitoring the midfield market with the prospect of players also moving on over the coming months.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a player who could be on the move this summer with reports suggesting he will leave if Postecoglou remains in charge.

Hjulmand is a player who has been described as a ‘rising star‘ and could provide a great replacement for his compatriot, Hojbjerg.
