Wah is so mighty

- BY CHRIS HATHERALL

TOTTENHAM are chasing Danish wonderkid Wahid Faghir.

The Vejle BK forward, whose family moved from Afghanista­n, was included by UEFA in a list of the top 50 best young talents to look out for in 2021.

Powerful Faghir, who is only 17, has a contract at Vejle until June 2022 and will not be easy to prise away cheaply.

Vejle have already turned down a £1million bid from Leicester, and with Ajax and teams in Italy also interested they hope to ramp up the price.

Faghir, who has hit five goals in 22 appearance­s, made it public he expects to be playing abroad in a year and dreams of a move to Real Madrid.
