Tottenham make bid for Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu

Tottenham have made a €200,000 bid for Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

The Irish Independent says Spurs have lodged a bid to sign Bazunu in a move that would see the 16-year-old goalkeeper remain at Shamrock Rovers until after his Leaving Certificate.

The Dubliner has attracted interest from several UK clubs, including Liverpool and Celtic, since breaking into the Rovers first team last month.

He conceded just two goals in six appearances, both in the Europa League tie against AIK Fotboll of Sweden.

Spurs have been the first to table a serious bid - believed to an up-front fee of €200,000 with extras - after Championship club Norwich City had a lower offer rebuffed. It's believed Bazunu will be offered a four-year deal.
