Bayer Leverkusen join race for Danish talent Victor Froholdt

Kicker reports that both Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt are in the mix. Sky, as relayed by Kicker, also claims that Tottenham Hotspur possess interest in the 19-year-old.

Sweden's Hugo Larsson debuted as a starter for the SGE not long after his 18th birthday and is set for a big money move.Froholdt's Danish compatriot Oscar Højlund presently seeks to replicate Larsson's success.
Froholdt nevertheless could receive better playing time prospects with die Werkself should – as is rumored – a whole host of midfield starters depart. The young box-to-box midfield talent could serve as an important pillar in the rebuilding efforts of Germany's red company team.
Danish double winners Copenhagen are reported to be seeking a €10m base-transfer-fee for their teenage talent. It stands to reason that whichever club ends up winning the race for Froholdt will also have to offer up the Danish champs a generous re-sale clause.
