Tottenham starlet Reo Griffiths wanted by RB Leipzig as German side look to add to pool of young talent
The 17-year-old goal machine scored four goals and grabbed three assists as Spurs Under-18s drubbed Arsenal 9-0
TOTTENHAM starlet Reo Griffiths is reportedly on the radar of RB Leipzig.
The 17-year-old goal machine scored four goals and grabbed three assists as Spurs Under-18s drubbed Arsenal 9-0 yesterday.
And with 33 goals - including three hat-tricks and two doubles - so far this season, it has put Griffiths in the sights of the German upstarts.
The Mirror report that he is out of contract at the end of the season and RB Leipzig are keen to take him.
Spurs are said to be trying to keep hold of the former Leyton Orient trainee, but Griffiths is yet to sign fresh terms.
RB Leipzig have snapped up former Spurs head of recruitment Paul Mitchell as they seek to net the finest talent around.

Mitchell began work with the Bundesliga side in February after serving a lengthy notice period with Spurs, where he resigned from in August 2016 but then worked for most of last season.
Mauricio Pochettino took Mitchell from Southampton to Spurs before he was headhunted by RB Leipzig for a similar role.
He will continue to search for players of the ilk of Naby Keita, Emil Forsberg and Timo Werner, who helped fire the club up to second at the end of their first season in the Bundesliga last year.
