Tottenham Youth Academy, where player valuation ability is zero.
Tottenham Hotspur is seeking to recruit a winger who is currently active in Chelsea in the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old striker is named Noni Madueke (23). He has seven goals and three assists in 23 league matches this season, and is drawing attention from Newcastle and Aston Villa as he is highly valuable in recruiting him. The transfer fee Chelsea wants is at least 50 million pounds (about 94.6 billion won).
British media Team Talk reported on the 26th (Korea time) that "Tottenham is seeking to recruit a winger who has scored a total of 17 goals for Chelsea, and it has to compete with two other EPL clubs." It is about the competition between Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa over Madueke and Chelsea's sale policy.
Madueke, who made his professional debut in the 2019-2020 season with PSV Eindhoven, was acquired by Chelsea for a transfer fee of £30 million in the January 2023 transfer market. Since then, he has played 74 games for Chelsea, scoring 17 goals and seven assists.
Team Talk said, "Chelsea believes that Madueke's value has risen significantly over the past two years and wants a transfer fee of at least £50 million," adding, "Tottenham can spend up to £60 million because it can afford PSR (profitability and sustainability rules)." He added, "However, since Chelsea is a Champions League team, Tottenham may have to win the Europa League if they want to recruit Madueke. The fact that Madueke wants to stay in London can be in Tottenham's favor."
Tottenham is constantly looking for a replacement for "captain" Son Heung-min (33). He signed Matisse Tel on loan in the transfer market in January, but he is considering a full transfer as he is not performing as expected. Madueke, who has experience in EPL, can be a good alternative. Tottenham seems to be quite aggressive in recruiting Madueke.
However, if Tottenham recruits Madueke through fierce competition, it faces one dilemma.
This is because Madueke's recruitment can be evidence that Tottenham Youth Academy's player management and valuation are in a mess.
In fact, Madueke was the first player selected by the Tottenham Youth Academy. Madueke, who was scouted by Tottenham Youth Academy in 2014 when he was 12, was a promising player. He also captained the under-16 team. He expected success in the adult stage. At the time, Madueke wanted to play in the first team as fast as Jadon Sancho, who went to the German Bundesliga.
In the end, Madueke left for PSV Eindhoven Youth in June 2018 when he was 16, and Tottenham did not catch him. Madueke, who immediately stood out in the youth team, made his debut in the first division immediately next season. Soon after becoming PSV's main striker, Madueke moved to Chelsea in January 2023 for a £30 million transfer fee and returned to his childhood dream of playing in the EPL. It has been four years and seven months since he left Tottenham Youth.
And Tottenham are willing to invest a whopping £50 million to recruit Madueke. It could have been an expense you didn't have to pay if you gave them a chance a little faster during your youth.
If Tottenham had actively caught Madueke, who was about to leave for the Netherlands, and had given him a chance to make his first-team debut, he could have seen Madueke playing with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min long ago.
However, the Tottenham club and the Youth Academy did not catch Madueke at the time. As a result, it remained a failure of the Tottenham youth system. If Tottenham pays more than £50 million to bring Madueke back, it could become the biggest dark history of the youth system. It could be said that the system is a "youth system that does not even know the value of players." 스포츠토토
"I'm worried if I can't bring him back. If I bring him back, I'll be disgraced." Tottenham is in a dilemma with Madueke ahead of them.
