Tottenham are interested in signing Wigan Athletic star Joe Gelhardt, according to the [https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-star-to-manchester-united-the-deals-the-clarets-and-their-premier-league-rivals-could-secure-in-january-1-10116366](https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-star-to-manchester-united-the-deals-the-clarets-and-their-premier-league-rivals-could-secure-in-january-1-10116366)*[Burnley Express](https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-star-to-manchester-united-the-deals-the-clarets-and-their-premier-league-rivals-could-secure-in-january-1-10116366)*.

The 17-year-old is seen as one of the Championship’s most exciting young talents, shining in Wigan’s first team on occasions.

Liverpool have been linked with Gelhardt a number of times in recent months, as the Reds weigh up whether or not to add him to their academy setup.

They aren’t alone in showing an interest, however, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton also thought to be in the hunt.

Spurs can now be added to that list, as Wigan look to fend off interest in the forward.

For such interest to be shown in Gelhardt speaks volumes about his potential.

He has impressed against Liverpool’s Under-18s in the past, no doubt adding to his reputation at Anfield.

The Reds’ academy would be an ideal place for Gelhardt to keep maturing as a player, shining alongside similarly exciting prospects such as Ki-Jana Hoever and Harvey Elliott.
