Tottenham Scouting Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney Ahead of Potential January Approach

Former Spurs scout Mick Brown says the 23-year-old could compete for a starting role if he steps up to the Premier League.

Overview

  • Tottenham are monitoring Hackney’s Championship performances this season with a view to a possible move in the winter window, per Brown’s on-the-record comments.
  • No formal bid has been reported, with coverage describing active scouting rather than negotiations.
  • Hackney has one goal and two assists in ten appearances, plus notable defensive metrics and an 81.7% pass completion rate, as reported via fbref.
  • Middlesbrough accepted a £20m offer from Ipswich in the summer but Hackney turned it down and remained at the Riverside, according to Football Insider.
  • Other interested sides have been reported to include Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and West Ham, while Football Insider says Thomas Frank’s staff are identifying January targets.
