Tottenham chasing Birmingham sensation Menzi Mazwi
Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all chasing Birmingham City sensation Menzi Mazwi, sources have told Football Insider.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is out of contract this summer and – despite being yet to feature for the first team – is highly rated both within the club and externally.
Birmingham City have offered the teenager a three-year professional deal, but Mazwi has yet to decide where he will commit his future.
The player’s potential availability has alerted the Premier League trio of United, Chelsea and Tottenham, who would be keen to pick the talented youngster up for a compensation fee that could be as low as £300,000.
There is interest from abroad as well, with Bundesliga duo Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig also in the frame.

A move outside of the UK would reduce Mazwi’s cost even further.
Birmingham City’s relegation from the Championship to the third tier could create an opportunity to accelerate Mazwi’s involvement with the senior squad – though it does weaken their position as they look to retain their developing star.
Football Insider first broke the news that Mowbray will not come back and revealed on Monday that three-times promotion winner Alex Neil is now in pole position to land the job after impressing in an interview.
