Nicolo Tresoldi is turning heads across Europe. Scouts from two English clubs watched him closely this week. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United each had staff present in Belgium. Man United are keen to add firepower up front, as per the latest transfer news.
Nicolo Tresoldi Watched Closely In Belgium
As reported by TEAMTALK, the Red Devils and Tottenham Hotspur had scouts in the stands on Tuesday. Their focus was Nicolo Tresoldi, turning out for Club Brugge that night. Brugge went down 3-2 against Aston Villa in that European fixture. Even so, the 22-year-old stood out. He slotted home coolly from twelve yards, with both sets of scouts watching on. It was another calm finish from a player who rarely seems fazed by pressure.
The trip was not just about one man, though. United’s scouts also had another player on their radar that evening, Brugge defender Joaquin Seys. They had already made enquiries about him in the summer window. Tottenham, meanwhile, confirmed they were doing further homework on the striker. De Zerbi is still said to rate him highly as an option. Spurs spent heavily over the summer, yet their forward options still look thin.
This was not the first time either club had shown interest. Reports linked both sides to the striker earlier this year already. The fresh scouting trip shows the interest has not faded. So far, though, no formal talks have opened with Brugge. Both clubs appear content to keep gathering information for now.

Why United Are Keen On The Striker
United’s interest makes sense once you look at their squad. Joshua Zirkzee has struggled for regular game time under Michael Carrick this season, and doubts continue to grow over his long-term future at Old Trafford. Club officials are adamant that he stays until a suitable replacement arrives. That stance explains why scouts keep turning up at Brugge games.
Nicolo Tresoldi fits that role rather well. He stands at six feet tall and offers real physical presence. He also has the movement and touch to link play with midfielders. At just 22, there is plenty of room to improve further. Few strikers his age combine size and technique this well.
His numbers speak for themselves too. He was the league’s top scorer last season with 23 goals. This term, he already has five goals in just seven games. That kind of form rarely goes unnoticed in modern football. Coaches across Europe have taken note of his consistency in front of goal.

Nicolo Tresoldi Also Attracts Interest Elsewhere
United and Tottenham are not alone in this race. Barcelona held talks over a move earlier this year. Reports in Germany have also linked Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig with checks on him. Interest of that scale usually points to a player heading for the very top.
Brugge already rejected one bid, worth around €35 million, from AS Roma. They are said to value their striker at closer to 50 million euros now. That price alone shows how highly he is rated. Few clubs will meet that figure without serious thought.
For now, Nicolo Tresoldi remains at Brugge, with no exit close. His contract runs until 2029, but suitors keep circling. A big move still looks likely eventually, whether that lands him in the Premier League or elsewhere in Europe. Whichever club eventually wins the race will be signing a player on a serious upward curve.
