Tottenham transfer target draws Luka Modric comparisons

Belgian football pundit Filip Joos has sparked excitement by likening Genk's rising talent Bilal El Khannouss to none other than Luka Modric, suggesting the attacking midfielder could be in for a big move this summer, possibly to Tottenham Hotspur.

At just 19, El Khannouss has been making waves in the Belgian league, cementing his place in Genk's starting lineup over the past year and a half. His flair on the field hasn't gone unnoticed, earning him recognition as one of the top players in his position in Belgium, and a key role in the Moroccan national team.

Tottenham's interest in El Khannouss has been whispered about, with reports linking the Lilywhites, along with Liverpool, to the young prodigy. It's rumored that Genk is hoping for a hefty transfer fee similar to what they received for Arthur Vermeeren's move to Atletico Madrid.

Joos, however, is convinced that El Khannouss won't be donning Genk's colors come next season. In a recent interview with Sporza, he boldly declared, "For me, he is the player in the Belgian league who will have the greatest career. I don’t see anyone else better than him. (El Khannouss) reminds me most of Modric."

Despite the buzz surrounding El Khannouss, Tottenham's pursuit seems to have quieted down in recent months. Instead, they appear to be eyeing domestic talents like Conor Gallagher and Morgan Gibbs-White for their midfield.

But as the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on El Khannouss, with his potential move to a bigger club on the horizon. If he lives up to the comparisons to Modric, he could be destined for greatness on the European stage, leaving Belgian football fans to savor his talents while they still can.
