Report: Tottenham Hotspur were impressed with Vedat Muriqi’s performance against England

According to Fanatik (via Sport Witness), Tottenham Hotspur head of scouting Steve Hitchen was present at St. Mary’s on Tuesday to watch Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi in action against England and liked what he saw. The Three Lions ran out 5-3 winners against Kosovo, with the 25-year-old among the goals. Sport Witness also reports that other reports in Turkey claimed Hitchen attended the game with Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, and it is expected that the North Londoners will continue to keep tabs on him ahead of a possible swoop.

Spurs watched Muriqi at the weekend in Kosovo 2-1 Euros 2020 qualifying win against the Czech Republic – where he also scored – and they could decide to go for his signature if he continues to impress.
