Tottenham watching Lorient whizkid Mattéo Guendouzi

Tottenham are watching Lorient whizkid Mattéo Guendouzi.

The 17 year-old has broken into the Lorient first team this season, managing four appearances.

The midfielder has been one of the few bright points for Lorient so far this campaign - and his emergence has caught the eye of Spurs, says Foot Mercato.

Lorient academy chief Régis Le Bris says: "Moving from a first professional contract to a starter in L1 necessarily requires a very special attitude. Few young players are capable, we have the deep conviction that (Matteo) is up to the challenge."
