Manchester United and Tottenham are following Nicolo Tresoldi closely.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both had scouts in place in Belgium on Tuesday night to follow Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi. The German U21 international has established himself as one of Euroa’s most sought-after young attackers.
Not only is he a good goal-scoring player, Nicolo Tresoldi is known for always being in a good mood and contributing positively both on and off the pitch, something that both Tottenham and Manchester United need.

Tresoldi was in action against Aston Villa when Brugge lost 3-2, but the 22-year-old still made his mark on the game when he converted a penalty into a goal.
United’s delegation also took advantage of the trip to follow up on the work of left-back Joaquim Seys – another Brugge player they enquired about in the summer.
We can confirm that Tottenham were also in Belgium to do further research around Tresoldi, who remains high on their wish list.
Spurs made many of their preferred trades over the summer, but Roberto De Zerbi is keen to strengthen his attack further, and the German could develop into a strong option for the club.

Tresoldi has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting attacking talents in Europe since his move from Hanover to Bruges.
He scored 23 goals last season, and his performances sparked considerable interest across the continent – Barcelona were among the clubs who got in touch to discuss a possible transfer.
Nicolo Tresoldi was recently named nominee of the month.

Despite the interest in the summer, Tresoldi stayed in Belgium and has continued to build his reputation in Bruges.
His form and age mean that he is now closely followed by Premier League clubs, and both United and Spurs took the opportunity to assess him closely on Tuesday.
United were unable to sign a striker this summer and continue to consider attacking options for the future.
Joshua Zirkzee’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain after failing to play his way into Michael Carrick’s starting eleven.
United’s attitude towards the Dutchman is the same – they won’t let him go without first bringing in a replacement. Tresoldi could be that player.
Tottenham’s interest, in turn, is driven by De Zerbi’s desire for further competition and depth in attack – something that has been further made clear by the Richarlison saga, which has not even been selected in the club’s Premier League squad.
Tresoldi’s recent appearance has thus given both clubs another opportunity to gather information about a player who could well be a serious target in the future.
If he continues his impressive form at Bruges, it seems only a matter of time before Tresoldi makes the move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
