Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping Tabs On This Bundesliga Forward: One For The Future?
In a recent report, The Sun mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Mainz forward Nelson Weiper. It has been stated that Spurs would have to rival Brentford and West Ham United in the race to sign the German striker this off-season. Weiper's Impressive Rise In German Football Weiper managed to shine at times for the German club in the previous campaign when he put in a few impressive displays for them in the final third. The 20-year-old banged in four goals and grabbed two assists in 28 appearances for Mainz last season in all competitions. Advertisement The Germany international deserves a pat on the back for averaging 2.81 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He kept 54.5% of his attempts on target. However, Weiper was a bit untidy when distributing possession in the opponent's half based on his pass success rate of 67.1% in league football (stats via Weiper's current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2026 which could open the door for Spurs to land him in this transfer period. NITRA, SLOVAKIA – JUNE 18: Omari Hutchinson of U21 England in action against Nelson Weiper of U21 Germany during the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 Group Stage match between England and Germany at Nitra Stadium on June 18, 2025 in Nitra, Slovakia. (Photo by) Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping Tabs On Weiper: Is He A Prospect For The Future? Weiper can find a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to create the odd chance for his teammates in the final third and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet. Advertisement The Germany U-21 international can even use his robust 1.92m frame to win his fair share of aerial duels in the opponent's half. However, he is still quite inexperienced at the highest level and would need time to prove his worth in Premier League football if Spurs manage to snap him up this summer. Weiper is already good enough to fight for regular first-team football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. He would bring more energy and dynamism to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's frontline. At 20, Weiper is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future. Therefore, Spurs would be wise to bring him on board before the end of this summer transfer period. However, Frank has to be patient with his development before he can unlock the best out of the talented striker at the North London club.
