e-Spurs have learnt that Tottenham are making enquiries about young Columbian starlet Juan Quintero with a view to a summer transfer.

| Quintero on Spurs Radar |
Juan Fernando Quintero Paniagua is a 19 year old Colombian currently plying his trade at Italian side Pescara. He was born in MedellÃn, Colombia, and started his playing career with the youth squad for Envigado. A 2011 transfer took him to Atlético Nacional before his next move joining Pescara in Italy. It is thought that Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is also looking at the young star.
At just 5'7 Quintero is not a target man in the mould of a Peter Crouch, but more of a Teddy Sheringham with pace. This pace and skill have seen him passing defenders with ease in Serie A during his 14 appearances. Quintero made his debut for national team Colombia at just 19 against Cameroon and is currently one of them most scouted players in European football. While starring for Columbia in the recent South American Youth Championships Quintero was voted the MVP, leading his side to title number 3 whilst also scoring a stunning 50 yard free kick against Argentina.
Described as similar to James Rodriguez, this left footed AM/ST has scored 1 goal in 14 appearances for Pescara, although many of these have been from the bench this season.
We will publish more as we hear it.

Would be nice to start signing some young players again!
ReplyDeleteAt last we might get some buisiness done early. have heard good things about this guy.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if he's any good?
ReplyDeleteSo many good young players out there but feel our wage cap hold us back.
ReplyDeleteI know he's quality on Football Manager....
ReplyDeleteAlso we don't really have a wage cap anymore.
It's Colombia, not Columbia.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very good young player.
ReplyDeleteColombia have lots of very good players. All you hear about is Falcao, as far as I'm concerned he is not their best player. I rate Jackson Martinez the Porto player above him as a forward, a player we have been linked with.
We should also take a look at Juan Cuadrado an excellent wing back. He is a bit special this one.
COME ON YOU SPURS!
