Tottenham Hotspur have serious interest in bringing young Hull City winger Jarrod Bowen to north London in the January transfer window, football.london understands.

Spurs have sent scouts to watch the young English attacker, who turned 22 a fortnight ago, in every game he has played this month for Championship side Hull, and the Premier League club are hoping to repeat their success in bringing Dele Alli up from the Football League by making a move for the attacking midfielder.

Bowen has already notched 10 goals this season from out wide on the right, including six goals and two assists in December alone to impress the watching Tottenham scouts.

He should soon pass his tally of 15 goals for last season, which earned him Player of the Year awards from the club and supporters, and Everton - managed by Bowen's former Hull boss Marco Silva - and Leeds are among the sides also keeping a close eye on the young attacker with a January move in mind.

football.london understands Spurs have shown a serious interest in a player who is not cup-tied for the League Cup, so could feasibly feature against Chelsea in the semi-finals this month. If he misses Hull's FA Cup match at Millwall this coming weekend then it would also free him up in that competition going forward.

Most importantly Bowen is English and with Tottenham targeting homegrown players in the January transfer window due to having too many 'non-locally trained' players in their team to fit into their Champions League squad, he ticks an important box.

Attacking trio Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Fernando Llorente are all expected to move on in the coming month and the departure of at least one of them is expected to trigger a formal move for Bowen.

Offers up to £7m have previously been dismissed for the exciting young Hull striker, but a figure of under £15m could be enough to capture his signature.

While Bowen is happy at Hull and scoring freely, it is believed that a move to link up with Mauricio Pochettino and his high-flying Tottenham side would be of interest despite the fact he would not immediately be a starter in north London.

Spurs' biggest issue is that if they do not move quickly when the window opens, other teams are circling who could offer Bowen more first team football this season.

At Tottenham, Bowen would have to work his way into the team, competing with the likes of Heung-Min Son, Lucas Moura, Alli and Erik Lamela, although Son is due to leave midway through the month to play for South Korea at the Asian Games.

There is a belief that Bowen has the potential to become another English success story at Tottenham and for Pochettino. With his eye for goal, he could also be converted into a striker, similar to the roles the versatile Son and Lucas have been taking up, in backing up or playing alongside Harry Kane.

Tottenham have a reputation for leaving their transfer deals until late in the window, a tactic which saw them miss out on Aston Villa's Jack Grealish in a barren summer transfer window, and in the case of Bowen they need to ensure he does not become another transfer regret as interest hots up in the talented young attacker.
