Reports of our scouting & Inter scouting our players

A French website report that French clubs Lorient and Nantes among others plus Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, Schalke 04, Eskisehirspor, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and PSV Eindhoven all sent scouts to see Rennes go down 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain during the last round of French Ligue 1 games. We hold a strong interest in young 20-year-old (21 next April) PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Spurs also had scouts watching former trialist 22-year-old (23 next March) Andy Najar report The Standard in Belgium. The Honduran winger trained with Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart when he came to Tottenham for a trial in 2011. We have been keeping tabs on his progress ever since and got the chance to see him up close on Thursday when we took on his club Anderlecht again.


With the shoe on the other foot Inter Milan will have Sporting Director Piero Ausilio at the North London Derby tomorrow as they scout January transfer targets. He was also watching our tie against Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night. The suggestion is he was there to watch Erik Lamela and Jan Vertonghen.
