Report: Tottenham youngster has sealed move to German side
According to a report in Rheinische Post (as relayed by Gladbach Live), Tottenham academy youngster Rio Bromfield has now completed a move to Borussia Monchengladbach.
Who is Rio Bromfield?
16-year-old Bromfield has impressed at Hotspur Way over the last couple of years, with the left-back having represented both England and Germany at the Under-16 level.
Glabach’s interest in the teenager first came to light back in February when Gladbach Live suggested that the German club are confident of securing the youngster’s services.
The report claimed that the Tottenham youngster had informed the North London club of his intention to move to Borussia Park as he felt the pathway to the first-team would be easier there.
Rio Bromfield swaps Spurs for Gladbach
If Rheinische Post’s latest report is to be believed, Bromfield has now left Tottenham and will link up with Gladbach ahead of the new season.
In fact, the outlet also quotes Gladbach youth director Mirko Sandmoller, who expressed his delight at the club’s capture of the left-back.
Sandmoller said about the 16-year-old: “He is a very positive guy with a high willingness to learn, who has a high pace, confident passing game and good switching behaviour.”
The publication added that Bromfield will initially be included in Gladbach’s Under-17 squad for the 2024-25 season.
Spurs Web Opinion
In a situation where a youth player, who is yet to sign his professional contract, wants to leave, there is little that a club can do to stop him.
That appears to be the case here, with Bromfield wanting the transfer.
