‘I played with second biggest Arsenal signing and top Tottenham target – one stands out’
Top Tottenham target Desire Doue has been tipped for stardom by one of his Rennes team-mates. Baptiste Santamaria, who also shared a dressing room with ex-Arsenal star Nicolas Pepe when he was breaking through, hailed Doue as “one of a kind” amidst growing interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
The dazzling 19-year-old, who can play both in midfield and on the wing, is high on Tottenham’s summer wish-list, but they face stiff competition from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, and Bayern Munich for his signature. In an interview with TNT Sports earlier this year, Santamaria, 29, said Doue was destined for the top, and predicted he’d be in line for a luctrative transfer soon.
He lavished praise on the young talent, calling him “the most gifted youngster I’ve seen in my career” and predicted he’d become “unplayable” within a few years. “He’s a very talented player with a great sense of football,” said Santamaria.
