Tottenham Hotspur reportedly lead the race to sign Celta Vigo youngster Pape Cheikh Diop this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the hunt to sign Celta Vigo youngster Pape Cheikh Diop this summer.

The 19-year-old has been with Celta since 2013, and after representing the Spanish outfit's B team, the teenager made 16 La Liga appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.

Diop has travelled to England with the Celta squad for their pre-season friendlies against Brentford and Burnley on Saturday and Tuesday respectively, and according to ESPN, a number of Premier League clubs will have scouts in attendance to watch the Senegalese in action.

The report adds that Tottenham lead the race, although a number of Premier League clubs are aware of the midfielder's talents.

Diop was born in Senegal, but has represented Spain at Under-17 and Under-19 level.
