‘Big name in the making’: Tottenham scouts may have unearthed a real gem after £200,000 transfer

‘Big name in the making’: Tottenham scouts may have unearthed a real gem after £200,000 transfer

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be tracking Aberdeen defender Slobodan Rubezic after a scouting mission to Scotland.

Aberdeen centre back Slobodan Rubezic is thought to have put himself on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar.

That is according to The Sun, who claim that Ange Postecoglou has told Tottenham to scout in Scotland.

Postecoglou already has a decent grasp of the Scottish game having managed Celtic for two years.

The Australian wants Tottenham to keep up to date with the talent north of the border though, with one new name in the mix…

Tottenham Hotspur attracted to Aberdeen defender Rubezic
The Sun claim that Tottenham scout Ian Broomfield watched Aberdeen centre back Slobodan Rubezic in action.

Rubezic has only been with Aberdeen for a few months now but is already turning heads.

Tottenham now appear to be keen with Postecoglou looking for more defensive options.

Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have formed a great partnership but Eric Dier hasn’t been a key part of the plans.

That leaves the door open for another signing with Rubezic now on the radar ahead of 2024.

Who is Tottenham target Slobodan Rubezic?
Rubezic hails from Belgrade in Serbia and spent time in the youth ranks of both Vojvodina and Cukaricki.

Rubezic moved on to Arda Kardzhali in Bulgaria before returning to Serbia with Novi Pazar.

Aberdeen pounced to land Rubezic over the summer, paying just £200,000 to lure him to Pittodrie.

A giant 6ft 4in defender, Rubezic doesn’t really seem like a typical Postecoglou defender right now but he is only 23 and could be developed.

Dons teammate Stefan Gartenmann certainly sees big things in Rubezic, telling The Press and Journal that the defender has ‘everything to be a top defender’.

Gartenmann added that Rubezic is a ‘big name in the making’ if he continues his development, predicting big things for him.

Rubezic recently switched his international allegiance to play for Montenegro, making his debut against Lebanon in October.

Tottenham may well have found a potential gem in Rubezic and they will likely keep tabs on him moving forward.
