Tottenham news: Fabio Paratici faces Liverpool transfer battle as Spurs wonderkid stakes claim

Your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest on Monday, December 5.

Liverpool enter midfielder race

Tottenham have been linked with Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat. The Fiorentina ace has had an impressive World Cup so far and helped Morocco top Group F despite facing Belgium and Croatia.

Now, the 26-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League. Antonio Conte is reportedly one of the managers keen on signing the player, although Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have now entered the race.

According to Corriere dello Sport, via Daily Express, the defensive midfielder is being considered by Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window. With his contract expiring in 2024, Fiorentina may consider selling in the winter window so Tottenham will need to act fast if they are to secure the signing.

Scarlett impresses

Dane Scarlett produced a performance on Sunday that showcased plenty of the potential that has Tottenham's coaching staff excited about his future as well as the elements of his game that the teenager will improve.

football.london kept a close eye on the 18-year-old, currently on loan at Portsmouth, as he started in the lunchtime kick-off at Wycombe Wanderers in League One. With Spurs not allowing Pompey to use Scarlett in the FA Cup so far this season, this was the first time in a couple of weeks to catch a glimpse of the high-rated teenager who won the European U19 Championships with England in the summer.

Dumfries World Cup masterclass

Tottenham fans will be hoping that Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici already have a plan in place to solve their right wing-back issues in January. Key to the head coach's 3-4-3 system flourishing is getting plenty of joy from the wing-backs on either flank, something which has not been the case at Spurs this season.

One player who has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium recently is Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries. A player many will know well after starring for the Netherlands at Euro 2020, the 26-year-old is now doing likewise for his country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Helping Oranje top Group A with seven points from a possible nine, Louis van Gaal's men sealed their spot in the quarter-finals with a 3-1 triumph over the United States on Saturday. Dumfries played an integral role as ever, scoring his side's final goal of the evening and setting up the first two.
